[FairfieldLife] Balance the budget now...or...impeach!
I really don't have much of an investment in healthcare reform one way or the other; I can take it or leave it. But what I do care about is the deficit. At the end of July, we have a $1.2 trillion deficit for the year! This is unbelievable and unsustainable. This happy-go-lucky spendthrift president and his Democratic congress are spending America into oblivion. We may end up having a $2 trillion deficit for the year which is about what the entire budget was the year Clinton left office (and that was a balanced budget). Many people are shaking their heads in bewilderment. Those that aren't probably don't understand numbers. I say: balance the budget NOW. Don't do it incrementally; do it now...in fact, I say not only balance the budget but create a surplus. And if such a move throws us into a depression, I say: bring it on. Better to deal with it now than have a much longer and worse one later. If this president can't immediately balance the budget then he should be told that impeachment is in his future. Enough already!

Enough already! Why? Didn't your hero Dick Cheney say that we don't need balanced budgets? And your hero Ronald Reagan began the whole thing. Clinton left us with a surplus. Then your hero Dubya plundered the country again and you expect Obama to balance the budget in a few months. You are truly a wingnut. How are those golden showers you're getting from the rich? You know those who practice trickle down economics?

Enough already! OK Mr. Armchair Quarterback. Despite your Canadian birth, I am appointing you President of the United States. You are now in the Oval Office. Please explain to us in some detail how you will go about balancing the budget now. Make sure you're plans are actually achievable. Not just some pie-in-the-sky notions that will slam into the brick wall of bureaucratic reality. Don't forget to tell us how you will avoid crashing the national and global economies in the process.
