View Full Version : Test for Obama as Deficit Stays Over $1 Trillion
WASHINGTON — Four years ago, Barack Obama campaigned for president on a promise to cut annual federal budget deficits in half by the end of his term. Then came financial calamity, $1.4 trillion in stimulus measures and a maddeningly slow economic recovery. Now, despite small annual improvements, the deficit for the fiscal year that ends on Sunday will surpass $1 trillion for the fourth straight time. Against that headline-grabbing figure, Mr. Obama’s explanation — that the deficit he inherited is actually on a path to be cut in half just a year later than he promised, measured as a percentage of the economy’s total output — risks sounding professorial at best. The fiscal imbalance on Mr. Obama’s watch, however much a result of economic and demographic factors beyond his control as well as his own policy choices, has increased the nation’s accumulated debt by about 40 percent and has saddled him with one of his biggest vulnerabilities. Facing off against Mitt Romney, Mr. Obama is on the defensive over deficits and debt nearly as much as he is over unemployment.

—"I think that, you know, as President, I bear responsibility for everything, to some degree"—:haha:
He's safe, his supporters neither know, care, nor understand.
Might want to talk to our gridlocked Congress about this too! They couldn't pass a bipartison budget if they tried!:har:
Yeah this debt crisis is far from over.
Trouble is that making the kind major cuts needed to pay down Americas soveriegn debt, conflicts with its addiction to overspending on public services, expanding government and maintaining an overseas empire, (all of which are unconstitutional by the way)
And none of which anyone in mainstream politics over there seems prepared cut back on, because its too 'unpopular'.
I dont know what you guys are gonna do when people start dumping your bonds and Bernankes printing press makes the dollar near worthless - but Europe is already on life support, so I hope you guys do something quick to start turning things around, or else we are all screwed, if The U.S tanks -which it could if it doesnt act soon,
Pretty much all the developed world could become one giant Greece. It wont be pretty :(

Earlier this summer I was sent this text by somebody. Originally I also had the link, but I lost it, must have deleted the first or last line when formatting the text and saved it, so I do not know where it originally came from. As long as you borrow money to pay debts, your debt crisis will not only never end, but progressively becomes worse and worse. Anf when inflation starts to kill private saving of ordinary people, a debts crisis turns into a social crisis. And when that social crisis burns hot enough, then everything become possible. Riots. Revolution and uprise. Civil war. National wars.
The basic premise of the Global Debt Bubble is that it***8217;s mathematically impossible to repay all principle and interest on global debts by borrowing more money.
By now, it should be a well known fact that through insidious and careful planning, the ***8220;powers that be***8221; have successfully gained control over a majority of the world economies and governments through fiscal manipulation and economic slavery. Although this is not difficult to understand, it is often ignored by those who continue to maintain their convenient denial of the facts.
The following explanation provides a reasonable and rational understanding of how personal wealth and monetary control have created the current Global Debt Bubble.
The majority of global currencies are printed and controlled by the ***8220;powers that be***8221; through a variety of global organizations and corporations known as the Bilderberg Group, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Group of Eight, Group of Twenty, and The Federal Reserve, etc. (hereto referred to as the ***8220;Elite***8221;).
Most global currencies are printed for the governments and countries by or on behalf of the Elite and not by the governments and countries for themselves.
All currency that is printed by the Elite is then loaned to the government or country with interest and without any object, mineral, or substance as backing, security, or collateral. In other words, the currency is simply created out of thin air or in this case, paper.
As the amount of currency in circulation is increased (i.e. printing more money), the value of all currency in circulation is decreased and the principle and interest on the debt to the Elite is increased. The result of increasing the currency in circulation is that purchase prices for goods and services must increase in order for any business to maintain the same profit and the same lifestyle. This is known as inflation which is a combination of increasing prices and currency devaluation.
As the amount of currency in circulation is decreased (i.e. removing and destroying money), the value of the remaining currency in circulation is increased and the principle on debt to the Elite is decreased. The result of decreasing the currency in circulation is that purchase prices for goods and services will decrease as fewer people have access to the currency through lower incomes and a reduced lifestyle. This is known as deflation which is a combination of decreasing prices and an increase in currency valuation.
The only way for any country to repay just the principle on a debt to the Elite is by removing all currency from circulation and returning it to the Elite. It is important to note that there would be no currency remaining in circulation for anyone to purchase goods and services or to ever repay the interest on the debt to the Elite. Such an attempt would result in immediate economic collapse, poverty, and famine.
With any monetary system that is based on borrowing currency from the Elite at interest, it is mathematically impossible to ever repay both the principle and interest on the debt. Since the Elite know this fact, it can be concluded that all such currencies are designed to siphon off profits in the form of interest on the debt until the currency is forced to collapse through inflation and devaluation.
The only way for any country or government to maintain the same amount of currency in circulation and pay any interest on a debt to the Elite is to have the Elite print more currency for circulation. Of course, all currency printed for repayment of the interest on the debt is borrowed from the Elite at additional interest.
As the population of a country expands, the country must borrow more currency from the Elite for circulation in order for a majority of that population to have access to the currency for the purchase of goods and services and to maintain some semblance of a similar lifestyle.
With this debt currency model, one might ask ***8220;How would a country every get out of debt to the Elite?***8221; Answer: NEVER.
Although unlikely and unrealistic, one possibility for a government or country to eliminate this debt would be if the Elite forgave all debt of interest and principle from the government or country. It doesn***8217;t take a genius to realize this is not a realistic option.
Another option might be to remove all currency in circulation, destroy it, and then replace it with a new currency that is devalued to an equivalent of the principle and interest on the previous currency in circulation (debt). This option would give the false and misleading appearance of a new currency with no existing debt, but would also result in an instant devaluation of all new currency in circulation. With this option, any future debt would only be incurred when additional currency is printed by the Elite and placed into circulation. This option has already been planned for implementation by the Elite as soon as an existing currency reaches the point of total collapse. This is also why the IMF is having ongoing discussions on the creation of three (3) new global currencies.
Is there any method for a country or government to maintain a currency and provide their population with a reasonable lifestyle without borrowing currency from the Elite or creating debt? Answer: YES, ABSOLUTELY.
It is a well known fact that throughout history, various countries and governments have created and maintain their own currency model by printed and circulated their own debt-free currency. In such models, all currency was printed, exchanged, or loaned without interest. These models resulted in equality and prosperity for the entire population as the currency in circulation is generally only increased in order to keep pace with population growth or to improve the standard of living.
Due to the obvious advantages of a debt-free currency model for any government or country, various people and organizations throughout history have attempted to stop the Elite from gaining control over their currency. Although at times successful, the majority of these countries and governments were eventually influenced or forced to abolish their debt-free model and to replace them with the Elite***8217;s debt model.
In essence, the Global Debt Bubble is the result of a carefully designed debt currency model that has been forced upon nearly every country and government by the Elite in order to extract all wealth from the countries in the form of interest while devaluing the currency and plunging the populations into ever increasingly poverty.
This perfectly matches my thinking.
@Sky Well in principle Id agree thats kind of how our sytem works in practice, yes, but your text implies that 'this mysterious elite' is behind everything, that is almost bordering on foil hat territory (illuminati conspiricy)
I dont think this is all part of a well thought out plan, i think its part of a very badly thought out plan, a plan that runs more along the lines of an 'elite' which has decided: 'oh screw integrity and sustainability - lets just make a fast buck and to hell with the consequences'.
My take on it is this: Alot of what happening in the world is likley down to a combination of greed, corruption, incompetance and a LACK of forward planning.
Sure there maybe an elite, but I do not believe its not some evil centralized group or organization like Builderburg or something. No, I think this 'elite' is far more wide spread and chaotic than that.
A total uncontrolled debt collapes would be just that - 'uncontrollable' as would be its long term consquences. If we hit a rapid global collapes, all bets are off.
Why would this elite intentionally risk compromising the very infastructure that allows them to be 'elite' in the first place? It would be a very self destructive plan on their part.
If entire civilaizations were in dissary and running amok, it would be impossible to contain it without a thermo nuclear war, and I'm not convinced 'the elite' are prepared to spend the rest of thir lives confined to an underground bunker.

I think the reason why a lot of these people feel the need to blame it on some mysterious cabal/illuminati is that they have trouble believing that whole groups of people, whole societies can be so incredibly stupid for so long.

People in power - do not like to share power.
And that explains a whole damn lot of what goes wrong in the world over and over and over again.
No tin foil hat protects you against this simple truth: people in power do not like to share power.
Another basic truth: capitalisms hates competition and rivals. Capitalists want monopolies.
And that also explains a whole damn lot of what goes wrong in the world over and over and over again.

Pretty scary stuff. No comment from the forum Obamanoids?
But the larger point concerns executive leadership.Every President "inherits" a government that was built over generations, which he chooses to change, or not to change, to suit his priorities. Mr. Obama chose to see the government he inherited and grow it faster than any President since LBJ.
The pre-eminent political question now is whether to reform the government we have to make it affordable going forward, or to keep growing the government and raise taxes to finance it, if that is even possible.
Mr. Obama favors the second option, though he pretends he can merely tax the rich to do it. Nobody who has looked honestly at the numbers believes that—not his own Simpson-Bowles commission and not the Congressional "super committee" he sanctioned but then worked to undermine.
Pretty scary stuff. No comment from the forum Obamanoids?
A lot of blame for this mess falls at the feet of the Republicans too August, your selective memory is still working just fine!:D
" In 2005, the Republican controlled House of Representatives passed a GSE reform bill (Federal Housing Finance Reform Act) which "would have created a stronger regulator with new powers to increase capital at Fannie and Freddie, to limit their portfolios and to deal with the possibility of receivership". [51] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_policy_of_the_George_W._Bush_administrati on#cite_note-50) However, the Bush administration opposed the bill and it died in the Senate. Of the bill and its reception by the Bush White House, Ohio Republican Mike Oxley (the bill's author) said: "The critics have forgotten that the House passed a GSE reform bill in 2005 that could well have prevented the current crisis. All the handwringing and bedwetting is going on without remembering how the House stepped up on this. What did we get from the White House? We got a one-finger salute." [52] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_policy_of_the_George_W._Bush_administrati on#cite_note-51) The Bush economic policy regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac changed during the economic downturn of 2008, culminating in the federal takeover of the two largest lenders in the mortgage market. Further economic challenges have resulted in the Bush administration attempting an economic intervention, through a requested $700 billion bailout package for Wall Street investment houses"
"The seasonally adjusted unemployment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemployment) rate rose from 4.3% in January 2001, peaking at 6.3% in June 2003 and reaching a trough of 4.4% in March 2007. After an economic slowdown, the rate rose again to 6.1% in August 2008 and up to 7.2% in December 2008.[59] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_policy_of_the_George_W._Bush_administrati on#cite_note-58) From December 2007 when the recession started to December 2008, an additional 3.6 million people became unemployed"
'The total surplus in FY 2001 was $128 billion. A combination of tax cuts and spending initiatives has added almost $1.7 trillion—through budget deficits—to the national debt since then (October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2007'
And during the Bush Administration, the size of the Federal Governent grew by 42%

They most certainly do not, but then again I never said that they did. However like the article says a President inherits a creation of all his predecessors. He chooses the direction he want's to point it during his term on watch. So far Obama has chosen to continue to grow the government. You can't deny it. How many new federal agencies are going to be created as a part of Obamacare? 150 or so?
I want him to shrink the Federal government not grow it. I don't want him to cut vital services like my states legislature does when they are trying to justify a tax increase. You know, like how they'll announce they had to fire a dozen cops or teachers, instead of the two fatcat directors who don't do anything but go to "planning meetings" in Aruba and Las Vegas. Oh no we need them to manage things. The three multimillion dollar feasibility studies we had W E Fleeceum and Associates do for us last year proved it. :nope:
The problem is as I see it we pay our income taxes backwards. We should be paying the highest percentage of income taxes to our state, then maybe 5% of that to the Feds for common things like national security and interstate highways and national parks.
Instead the lions share of tax revenue from the whole country goes way off to Washington only to have a small portion of it, maybe, doled back to us with a ton of strings attached and the rest squandered away in various pork projects and other costly boondoggles. It's a very inefficient and gaffe prone method of managing our affairs.
Now of the two candidates only Romney has shown that he can fix financial messes which I think we can all agree is the number one job that we need the next administration, whoever it is, to do. I just don't see a reelected but now lame duck Obama administration getting that job done.

I really like paying most my taxes to our state.
As much as we try to hide it, our country was based on states rights.
We are more of a constitutional confederacy, than a constitutional republic.
What is great for NJ, is not good for Mass, and vice versa.
Regardless of the outcome, I will respect the decisions made.
But what is our guarantee that we are not just trading names, for the same ol stuff?
But I will respect Romney, as I do Obama if he wins. I wish whoever wins the best, because we as citizens deserve the best.
I only hope the other side ( not so much you, August) can do the same if Obama wins, which I truly doubt.
You have to admit, there was alot of pre-emptive hostility towards Obama. (even before he did anything/and/or nothing)

More than the hostility generated towards George Bush? Seems pretty similar in volume and intensity to me. Like you I have my doubts about the other side too and maybe we are just trading names but it takes them some time to get entrenched so swapping them out every 4 years seems to me like a good practice in general.
I think this one has poisoned the well so much with the opposition during the past 4 years that reelecting him will only perpetuate the stalemate at least until he pain hits for what the health care law is all going to cost then he's going to be more lame duck than Bush was in his second term regardless of who controls congress.

Rick Perry 2016
(now those 2 are what real moderate Republicans look like)
You have got to be freaking kidding me.
Perry? Moderate? Errr...
http://politicsontoast.com/2012/01/15/the-race-for-2016-a-better-batch-of-republican-candidates/
This has a reasonable list, and I think Chris Christie should be the name on the GOPs lips come 2016. He seems to be more moderate than the current batch, and yet still fiscally conservative, he would appeal to those who have been turned off by the Hawks and the heavy right-wingers.
I can't see Romney winning this year, he just doesn't have the clout behind him that Obama still has, even after four years of doing...well...very little, and the Republican party itself needs a shake-up and a re-evaluation of its image. It has become far too easy to pass most Republican members off as disjointed with the current American populace and stuck in a mentality of the past. War weariness probably hasn't helped this, and neither has the economic crisis. Obama has a good PR machine behind him, and he can spin a crowd up, that's part of being a good president, is being able to have enough charisma that people will buy what you're selling. The other part is actually having something to sell, and in this case Barry hasn't really got that, but he's good at making out that he has. The problem with the GOP at the moment is that they have no real idea what they're selling and how to sell it, and so no-one is buying it. So to speak.
That's this traditionally center-left UKers view anyway...who voted for the Liberal Democrats...so what the hell do I know about politics? :O::haha:
I see you guys are now in debt to $16 Trillion and rising, as for the Fed's QE3 that is not the way forward, the effect on the Dollar is weakening it. Too be honest the whole world is heading for melt down.

Yeah I agree, And I think we have already passed the point of no return to fix the damn problem. Debt has the not just America, but the entire world by the balls.
I figure that either
a) Politicians are increadibly stupid because they think they can borrow and print cheap money forever as part of a sustainable model (when 8th grade maths says they cant)
b) they are incompetent because they cant see away to dig them selves out of this hole and they are afraid they will be punished by voters for trying.
c) They are increadibly smart and evil :D, have no intention of paying it back and are just exploiting a free lunch (or ten) while they can - And when its hits the fan, they will use what military might they have to say "yeah? watcha gonna do about it?".
In truth its probably a combination of all three. But there is no way anyone can justify such outragous debt mountains.
Congress isn't stupid, well...perhaps some of them are...but the problem lies in the fact that politics are being placed before economic survival. Both sides are using the economic crisis as a punching tool to hit the other with, but neither know how or are willing to bite the bullet to fix it.

Sure and I should also point out, its the same over here and in Europe and just about everywhere in fact, the only thing that really makes America stand out is the size of the debt.
History and basic maths says the economy will go down worldwide in the end, it will be the biggest mess mankind has ever faced, but rest assured - providing we havent all killed each other, we will start all over so we can make the same mistake in another 70-100 years or so. :woot:
Something tells me that now would be a very good time to train as a finacial lawyer/farmer.

I think farmer would be better, as I think that anyone with any connections to finances will get lynched if things do go completely down the pan! :O:
America is a major superpower on the world stage at the moment, so it's natural that the debt would correlate to that, particularly after the Cold War where a lot of money was spent trying to get the Soviet Union to spend itself into oblivion. It's nothing new...take a look at this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/USDebt.png/514px-USDebt.png
In particular the debt as a fraction of GDP, and then compare it to this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/UK_GDP.png/800px-UK_GDP.png
You can see, that after the Napoleonic wars, and during the hegemony of Britain we had a colossal debt compared to our GDP, which then peaks again post WWI and WWII. With the American graph you can see that it peaks just after WWII, then again after the Cold War, and now we're in the 'War against Terror' it's on the rise again, and will peak at some point in the near future, lower and then start the cycle over again.
The Victorians had a saying about such things and that's "The bigger the drinking binge, the bigger the hangover", of course that's not always true in liquid terms, but in economic terms I think that it does ring true, we have had just over a decade of good times and growth, of 'Cool Britannia' and such forth, starting in the late 1980s and ending in the early 2000s, now we have a decade and a bit of economic slump to get through before things will start to look up. Yes, there's going to be hard times, there's going to be Austerity but even in the darkest parts of Greece things are not as bad as they were at the worst moments of the Great Depression, unemployment rates haven't spiralled out of control, there are not giant 'Hoover-villes' springing up in cities, in comparison to our forefathers, even on Job-seekers we are better off than they were.
So, I find reports of some giant total global collapse of the worlds economy to be, alarmist, and in fact quite damaging to the recovery of the economic markets. Will there be a global collapse? I couldn't say no for certain, but it has not happened before, admittedly our markets were not quite as intertwined before as they are now, but even so, we have weathered worse than this and made it this far. The fact that we are able to write on this board, able to use such commodities as electricity and internet access makes us in a better position than before.
What worries me, more so than the economy, is the rise of extremism as a piggyback to that economic woe. In the wake of the First World War, Communism rose in Russia, and socialist unrest plagued most of Europe, in response to that and to the Great Depression fascism rose in Western Europe and laid the path to the Second World War.
Now, we're not going to see another Hitler, Stalin or Mussolini, no matter how hard the far left and far right try to paint various leaders as such, because the world has already been through this, and it has not been long enough that we have forgotten, certainly not in Western Europe, for example there will NEVER be another fascist leader in Germany, it just won't happen, nor is there likely to be in France, the UK, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain or most likely Italy. I'd be surprised if Greece went fascist too, I just can't see it, no matter how much the Golden Dawn grow in popularity, they will never be allowed into mainstream politics because they will always be tainted by the events of the Second World War.
Likewise with the far left, particularly in America where Communism is a filthy word, and in Russia were it has mixed memories. However, there are still extremists out there, willing to do dangerous things, for religion, for money, for politics, and I think as economic times become harder, those extremists are going to become more and more prevalent, some may take office in smaller states, and we may find ourselves in a tangled web of alliances similar to that of 1900s Europe. I honestly couldn't say for certain, but it is something that concerns me.
Certainly though, there are interesting times ahead.

Fine fine, Christie, and whoever you want.
Not like anyone does anything but laugh at the VP anyways, no matter who it is.
As I see now, Chris Christie has been fair in my state. Just too bad townships come up with laws to bypass property tax raise restrictions that he legislated and signed. He has the balls to attack government unions like NJEA, while leaving private ones who gave back alone. (yeah Wisconsin, I am talking to you)
He wants to stop the blood sucking blob, but he needs help, and cooperation.
Maybe Rubio (?), but he can be a bit off the scale at times too.
