Sorry, fellah, but I think it’s worse than being lied to. I think Obama and the leading Democrats are doing this on purpose. Forget theoretical discussions of Keynesian vs. Monetarist economic theory, etc. – common sense should tell people that the goverment cannot run a trillion dollar deficit each year for the foreseeable future,and that things will turn out o.k. And, on top of the current deficit, the Dems still want national healthcare, cap and trade, and all sorts of other goodies.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that I read that social security, which used to finance other government functions, is now running in the red.
Perhaps the Dems realize that they have at most 4, and probably 2 years in power, and the agenda is to do as much damage as is humanly possible in a short amount of time.
I agree with Wyatt- definitely on purpose. The weird thing is that he really didn’t hide it all that much. He is perceived to have run as a semi moderate, but I never ever saw it. The media was more than complicit. From the radicals around him to the ‘off the cuff’ remarks such as the one he made to Joe the plumber, and the phrases such as ‘fundamentally change America’ in between- this guy has a plan to f*ck things up.

Why does this man not just go get a job and put away some money and buy a house? He would then just be yachtless.
I could give him the number of the people who were nice enough to lend me the balance between what I saved and the cost of the home. They did the same thing when I wanted that shiney new black 4 door pick up truck.
