America is back! DOW hits record high, with more to come!!!

Maths has never been a liberals strong suit. We wasted $8Bn and Barry has wasted $8T. One billion times a thousand is =====? Still no clue. $8Bn is not even a meaningful rounding error to this clown.

I guess reading comprehension isn't a strong suit for cons, that 8 B. is what they have no idea of where it went not the entire bill, not the ongoing Afghan War, the Medi-care script plan or any other debt he left. Then if crashing the economy wasn't bad enough & having been the only one I can think of that ever went to wars & gave a tax cut to boost, even daddy Bush had realized he had to eat his words of "no new taxes". Don't forget Bush the Second started with a surplus. Kind of hard to pay a debt, run a country & pull out of the worst recession without revenue enough to even support the military budget. But there again we are making slow progress even with Congress "doing nothing to help this President".

You don't have to pay for things you aren't doing like upgrades to GitMo which he promised to close.

Continuing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. You can't tell me the military couldn't have picked up and left in a 5 year time frame.

Then let's expand the Drone Wars to Syria, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, and open a drone base in Africa while you are at it.

And let's not forget the expensive Obamacare on the home front.

You're right though...it's all GWB's fault...

First, the "surplus" was an accounting trick and for one year only.

Second, if he can't get the job done with the HIGHEST REVENUE COLLECTION IN HISTORY then when CAN he get it done?

WASHINGTON — Federal revenue collections hit an all-time high in April, contributing to a further improvement in the budget deficit for the year.

Releasing its monthly budget report, the Treasury Department said Thursday that through the first seven months of this budget year, the deficit totals $80.8 billion, significantly below the $184.1 billion imbalance run up during the first seven months of the 2006 budget year.

Watch out Jpete, that con reading comprehension must be contagious.

You've apparently got a fatal case Sam.

Even Sam can understand this:

I can't understand why we need to pay taxes when Ben can make money with a keystroke entry on a computer.

Plenty more where that came from. Why can't we have a $100,000 minimum wage?

I'm for that! Why can't we just get a nice wage of $100,000 minimum and also and do no work for it? If Ben can make money that way, then why can't we get paid money that way?

Soon we would be the envy of all of the economies of the world. They would wish they had a Helicopter Ben also, but alas we are the only ones with the real Ben...

Ah, yes, the farmers. Despite the plan for wages without work, they will have to be forced to work for us. Sorry farmers, but we all have to eat. As for the manufacturers (and even the farmers), they can employ illegals if it floats their boat to actually think it will do any good, but why bother when Ben has the magic money making computer? Yes, this is all coming together nicely. Except I can't understand how we will use illegals for everything once we make them citizens. Then they will have a claim on Ben's magic just like we have.

UP and up the market goes.... wheee..... we have added 15% to a $6T marketplace and it only cost us about $25T to do it, sounds like a plan ...wheee..... America is back... wheeee..... more helicopters please.... let's increase the minimum wage to $1MM an hour and lets get the Senate dems to increase spending by over $2T in the next ten years.... let's all go skipping merrily down the street .... life is but a dream...we don't have a debt problem Barry said so and I believe him .... exit stage left singing Wizard of Oz tunes.... America is back... groannnn.
