does anyone else find it repulsive that people exploit their children in such a manner?  The kid can't read how is it supposed to decide if it likes the current president or not?

That and the fact that the parent of this child is a lazy bum who tosses a pacifier in the kids mouth.

LAZY PARENT ALERT!!!!

[BoatLady]

I agree with both of you regarding the child.

I guess that someday US will be so deep in the red, they'll declare bankruptcy or something and wipe away all the stuff we owe, even to ourselves, and start again even.  IDK how we could ever make up that much of a defecit.

Not sure what I think about the kid/sign. I wouldn't do it!
I agree on the pacifier.

[Mike Ingels]

Well that, and if you look at the picture closely, that girl clearly has no hands.  They were probably cut off by some kind of farm implement during some bad-parent unsupervised time.

Double the income tax, end our international aid efforts, shut down the military industrial complex, and we'd have it paid off inside of 20 years.

Won't happen though.

It is difficult to grasp the extent of our debt.

But it is also difficult to grasp the size of our economy and the size of our collective national wealth.

I can't fathom $12 trillion in debt, but I also can't fathom $14 trillion in economic activity.  And I certainly can't fathom the nearly $60 trillion that we collectively own beyond our own personal debts in this country.

The reality is that "paying off" the debt is not the goal.  The goal is to grow the economy so that the debt becomes a much smaller percentage when compared to the total national economy.

This was why the Clinton years were so great.  The economy grew fast and the increase of the debt was essentially held to zero.  So, in percentage terms, the national debt decreased.  The 1950s building boom accomplished the same goal.  Economic growth essentially paid off World War II.

LOL I did not notice the missing hand, what is up with that?

[eriemermaid]

BoatLady, did you forget?  Remember when you were that age and you could run faster and jump higher if you put your hands in that position before you start??  LOL  My grandson is at that stage right now

Be careful for whom you presume to speak.

You pay your own debts.

Not really - once you understand the Central Bank SCAM - that Glenn Beck will not be telling his 9/12 moms!!!

Based on the video below - Matt - you can pay all the personal debt you want; noble as they may be - by holding a Federal Tax ID number, being a registered "person", you are already sacked obligated SERFDOM to the New World Order for the debt your elected officials took on behalf of "We The People".

You live in this country so it is yours as well whether you like it or not.

It isn't, because he can stomp his foot on the internet and make it not so.

Oh well then if I do that does that mean I have to pay taxes?
