Welcome to $18 trillion. In spite of a record $341.5 billion in tax revenues for fiscal year 2014, the public debt of the federal government now stands at $18,005,549,328,561.45. A new milestone—or is it millstone?

Try to kiss ass with our enemies
Spied on his enemies
Broken the law with imperial executive orders
Sent the IRS/DOJ/EPA/ATF and others after people who speak out
Allowed terrorists to walk free
Tried to destroy Christianity and replace it with state sanctioned religion
And Lied hundreds if not thousands of times....
One idiot has done all that damage and a good bunch of idiots were stupid enough to vote for him twice, and they STILL defend this moron.
The 18 Trillion in debt is just one part of the disaster known as Obama..and no one is sure where he went to college, if he even graduated or where he was born.....Plus the fact that that Nazi loving buddy of his, Soros, Has his hand firmly planted in Obama's ass and is making the puppet talk and walk.
It's enough to make you puke......
But on the plus side, he made Carter look like a political genius with balls of brass and a spine of steel.
Whoda thought that was possible?
Nobody that was alive in 1978.
Spied on his enemies, our friends, and the TEA Party.
And Lied hundreds OF thousands of times….
There, I fixed it for you.
Thanks......
When was the last time anyone mentioned "the stimulus"?
The Dems don't mention it. No references to any great success stories from all the money spent.
The GOP doesn't mention it. No attacks on the scandal of millions and millions of dollars vanishing into nonexistent zip codes.
Half a billion thrown out there into the wind with no records kept of who walked away with it.
It's all a sick joke.
I checked it this morning and it was at 17.97 or somewhere around there.
Then I checked it a couple hours ago and... EIGHTEEN! Damn.
It's the result of "cleverness" about wealth. Instead of making a product and selling it at a markup that covers cost and labor, we have switched to money games: all fed by the dream that you can stick your money somewhere, then come back later and find that it's doubled! Whoo-hoo!
Dick the butcher was wrong when he said "First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers!" It's everyone who goes under the name of "economist" that made this mess. "Tell you what: let's bundle your debt and sell it to that guy, then we'll borrow some more debt off projected earnings, and interest on projected earnings, and use that debt to buy someone else's debt, and then we'll sell the new debt really fast before we're stuck with it, and use that money to borrow some more."
Kill the money-gamers. Kill them all.
At the end of the Republic, they will loot the treasury.
All they will get are IOU's.
REmember when the commucrats were always puking, "It's for the childrennnnnnnnnn"? And the S4B's ate it right up/
I'm pretty sure that somehow, some way that this is Bush's fault. I notice something really bad happened in 2007. I wonder what that was? Then something really, really bad happened in 2009. Again, wonder what happened?
Just wait till 2016, if we get the other Bush, it will really be Bush's fault! He's a disaster!
Much like how Obama ended the recession in less than four months, the Obama depression we have been in for six years will be all the next president's fault. Also predict that the media finds all sorts of homeless and the record rate of poverty then too.
And the REAL unemployment numbers.
The debt is so extreme that the numbers are incomprehensible and as such, the magnitude is ignored by those that have been voted into office for the sole purpose of curtailing the uncontrolled waste, corruption and fraud.
The people in charge are either numbed beyond belief or mesmerized by the shear enormity of the impending destruction.
Even more incomprehensible is the number you get when you include unfunded liabilities: add another $115 trillion to the $18 trillion. Mind boggling. We have made slaves of our grandchildren.
Just to imagine what it would actually take to pay this off, now that it's gotten to this point. I'm glad I'm old.
They have a plan. They're going to confiscate everyone's guns and sell them to the Mexican drug cartels, then use the money to pay off the debt.
Yeah, that'll work out.
We don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.
Period!
We have a spendER problem. The guy that is deciding where to spend the money is the biggest problem.
NOW, who's the decider?
We? I think you mean "them" as in "those guys", you know like "government fat cats"...not "we"..."we" wouldn't get away with that.
We as a nation. But I get your point.
