Mr. Geitner. How long could you sustain your household if you spent more than you took in?

We got through the Depression and World War Two without these kinds of deficit/debt problems.

Good question, but remember that Timmy doesn’t pay his taxes so he has extra money available.

I guess the threat of a perjury charge made him admit the truth.

Oh Yeah, that’s right. He kept the money for himself. But hey, he’s good with figures. How else did he know that the interest rate increased?

The Obama administration has a plan:

1) Present an unacceptable budget, which make no real effort at cutting spending.
2) Force the Republicans to propose deep cuts.
3) Sell the American people on the idea that Republicans are mean and want to make their lives miserable.

Leading the country? Naaaaaaah. That's not what Obama's doing. He's just campaigning. He has no inkling that he's there to do anything other than that.

Shelby on the other hand...

He ran a nasty campaign as a Democrat against Jeremiah Denton back in the middle 80s or so. I have never really forgiven for the $hit he tossed at a real American hero.

I don’t post much so I probably screwed something up...nonetheless why isn’t the Administration admitting that the budget they presented is not sustainable NOT Breaking News?

So Timmy’s budget doesn’t work. Did he blame it on Turbo Tax?
