a deficit we have to cut expenses and live within our means.....we are not able to spend more than we have in our check book.

How is it when ad the POTUS tells us as he did last week ....we are out of money....the 545 can continue to pile on new programs costing more than out current deficit?

The new health plan is supposed to run into the 10 trillion $$ level....
but doesn't seem to impede Washington.....how can that be?

I guess the answer must be the own the printing presses....eh?

As the historical trend has and is proving the dollar becomes worth less each year....destined to not be worth the paper printed on....remember when pesos were 8-10 to the dollar (many many years ago)...now it is thousands (or something like it).

Seems like deficits looking backward created or contributed to by previous administrations (not limited to the last 8 years by the way) are BAD.....deficits looking forward just don't seem to matter......NO MATTER HOW BIG THE NUMBERS....now just why is that?
