Doubling Down on Debt: It’s a Snow Job

Apparently Big Guy has had a change of heart with respect to our national debt situation:

“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.”

It looks like he voted against being irresponsible and unpatriotic before voting in favor of both. irresponsibility

Let’s get the facts: when Big Guy took office, our National debt was $9 trillion. In addition to last summer’s increase (which was supposed to be accompanied by budget cuts TBD by the “Super Committee”) which raised the ceiling to $15.1 trillion, he’s now going to request the do-nothing Congress (btw, some think doing nothing would be an improvement) approve another increase of $1.2 trillion, which is expected to be enough to get us through the 2012 election.

Debt2019

That will raise the national debt ceiling to over $16 trillion! More than DOUBLE what Big Guy started out with! It’s almost like the miracle of the loaves and fishes, only in reverse. And I think it might be our plan for balancing the budget by having everyone pay their fair share: “You have 5 loaves of bread and 3 fish. I’ll just take 6 loaves and 4 fish, and you can keep the rest.”

Meanwhile, back at campaign fund raising central, here are a few suggestions for what you might want to do with that “extra” $40 that Big Guy ensured you’ll be seeing in your paycheck (or $20, depending on which version of “get the facts” you’re consulting for the truth).

Get in the game! Contribute today to win a seat at Lady M and Big Guy’s dining table!

this could be youWe won’t be teaching you how to fish, butt there will be caviar!

Or…you could skip the dinner and just order a pair of these beauties for only $30!

O martiniGenuine, Obama Hope-Themed martini glasses!

Now you too can enjoy one of Big Guy and Lady M’s favorite high octane cocktails: dirty Stoli Martinis in style! (Note: Stolichnaya vodka and olives not included)

And if you really enjoy dirty martinis, how about a nicely etched pitcher to make up a whole batch of them at once for only $50?

O pitcher

Also good for mixing up a batch of Kool-Aid for the believers. (note: for the unconverted or  apostates add a full bottle of Stoli and administer 1 hour prior to driving them to the polls)

The whole concept makes me a little squeamish: swilling high-octane martinis for HOPE and CHANGE? It sounds like they may have a rather large carbon footprint; that’s not going to sit well with the environmentalists.   

Meanwhile, some of the Wons were spotted yesterday in their favorite tee shirts. Wee Won-2 sported her John Lennon memorial tee:

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve bo

He wrote so many of her daddy’s favorite songs: Crippled Inside, Mother, You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away, Cold Turkey, Nowhere Man and, of course, Give Peas a Chance.

And Big Guy wore this ad for his favorite shave ice stand:

  1. Personally I don't care WHAT they wear, or do PERSONALLY, butt... I'm sick and tired of the snow job O-Baka and company have been pulling on US!  So what's $4m of taxpayer money (I find it hard that this group would ever pay any of it back out-of-pocket) for a luxurious vacay, so what's another $4t+ in national debt, as long as "I" look good, "I" get re-elected, "I" am the smartest person in the room...  O-Baka is a skinny man in an empty suit (he and MOO have out-done the Clintons in the dangerously annoying department for me).  And here I am at work after suffering pleurisy for the past couple of days!

  2. Oh Bug! I wish I could make you some chicken soup! I've had pleurisy and know how painful it is. I hope you can at least go home early and wrap yourself in something warm. Or at least a glass of something warm.

    Take care of yourself.

  3. Thanks, MOTUS!  Luckily the University gave us off Monday and Tuesday, so I've had time to recover.  Sunday night/Monday morning was hell because of the pain, took a trip to the ER and now I'm right as rain.  Thank goodness I have Friday until next Monday off!

  4. You poor thing!  I had pleurisy once eons ago and never forgot how awful it was.  If it's a bacterial infections it can be treated with antibiotics.  Have you seen your doctor?

  5. Thanks, Adrienne!  Don't know why I got it, since the possible causes they gave me didn't jive, except for stress.  The pain was even worse than going through labor!

  6. They all lied to us, they're all in this together; all our elected officials are playing games with our future and haven't addressed our debt or even tried to come up with a sensible budget.  The 'new' people that we sent to Congress in 2010 have been vilified, insulted and ridiculed for their efforts to bring spending under control.

    We'll have to throw them all out of office and start anew to make any difference in Washington.

  7. The president of the USA should never be seen in a sloppy ugly T shirt.  Want to bet he's wearing flip-flops, too? Bush dressed better to cut brush than this disgusting classless slob.

    And where is shave ice and a glass of Stoli (a martini will always be gin - a glass of Stoli is, well, a glass of Stoli)  located on Mooch's pie plate of proper eating?

    ReplyDelete
  8. I agree wholeheartedly, butt how?  Too bad we can't keep our elected officials in a vaccuum away from lobbyists or any other vile influences and force them to actually "work" for their pay.  We also need to redo journalism schools - whatever happen to "Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?"

  9. Prayers on your behalf. You could try MOTUS Kool-Aid/Stoli recipe. You might forget you hurt. Tip: Don't use the ugly O pitcher. It would defeat the purpose and bring on a whole other kind of sickness.

  15. Glad the Won found time for activities with the family after golfing two days straight - making it his 89th & 90th golf outings as President. That means he's spent 90 days golfing instead of governing. King Put, indeed!

    Exit question: How many of those big, bad, job-creating 1%'ers like Bill Gates and Rupert Murdoch have had time to golf 30/times a year over the last 3 years?

  46. Totally OT - but now I think I understand the obamanation.  There was footage of what looked like a million people lined up for little Kim's funeral in N. Korea and these people were weeping and carrying on as if the Pope had died.  He starves them, keeps them in the dark (literally) and they MISS him?  This is what brainwashing does to people. Its the same mentality that thinks a guy who reads every word off a teleprompter is the smartest man in the room, that we are in the summer of recovery, that he has saved us from a depression, that they have created millions of jobs, etc. Some people simply believe their lying eyes.

  67. Okay, I'm going to put this out there as a devils advocate.  If O was truly raised and used by Marshall when he was young, then the affection that he shows his daughters is not true affection but a learned behavior of what adults do to children.  We all learn from the adults that are most in our life.  I can't imagine his white grandma or grandpa always holding his hands like he does with the kids so it had to be learned elsewhere.

    I will forgive the kids for the way they dress, they are kids, but there's no excuse for the way O dresses.  He has people who should tell him what's appropriate.  I guess there really are no adults in the White House.

  73. The song was inspired by Yoko Ono using phrase. When we look at the domestic abuse beatings, rapes, self-immolation, anorexia inspired by photo-shopped fashion pictures, girl babies left in fields bec of China's one-child policy and the thirst for male children, muslim women stuffed into cloth cages, etc., I can't feel that John Lennon and Yoko Ono were so far off the mark.

    The idea was to shock people with the language, to say "You are so upset about the word, what about the way that so many women live?"

  78. The "n" word has many meanings, and victim as you describe is the definition penned by those with a purpose.

    Having grown up in the south, this definition was an imposed one, and makes the songs lyrics a self ritghteous foolery, but then many missionaries did so.

    John Lennon, Yoko: whatever. This song is upside down. Even in Islam, if the women rose up and took back the goddamn kitchen at least and used the wooden spoon for more than stirring, rather than cower and be victims, the whole paradigm changes, and the "n" word as used here becomes synonymous with COWARD.

    Please read "The Postman", if you think I am alone in this revelation. Not the movie - read the book.

    I apologize for my passion to my sisters who may not realize, but if women are a victim in their culture it's because they decided to be so. We have all the power: if you live in a place where estrogen is an enemy, it's because estrogen is it's own worse enemy: there is no more crueler mysogynist, than a woman.
