Total Government Debt as percent of GDP Posted by Pesterfield

Posted 03/18/10

Greece's national debt is 113% of GDP and the U.S. national debt is 90% of GDP, BUT Greece doesn't have state debt (I don't think).  So I wonder what our national debt + state debt as a percent of GDP, or worse, total government debt (our national debt + state debt + county debt + city debt) as a percent of GDP would be.  Total GDP has already been counted, but adding all the other debt might shoot this number much higher than Greece's 113%.

And that doesn't even include unfunded liabilites.

Sarah Palin - Establishment Skirt Posted by YellowHammer

See Sarah's fingers.............that is the difference between her and any other run of the mill politico. She is not an outsider to the beltway, she is the same song with a slightly different jiggle.........errrr jingle. She has endorsed John McCain against his republican opponent, this same John McCain that is all for an open, uncontrolled border with Mexico. The same John McCain whose home state is choking to death with illegal aliens and the concomitant tsunami of crime that by necessity accompanies a criminal class of humans.

She has been rather busy of late getting all of the face time that she can by association with the Tea Partiers. While she is far, far easier on the eyes than Nazi Pelosi or Thunder Thighs Clinton.......she really isn't that far removed from the big government, nanny state mind set that the two aforementioned harpies espouse.

Mrs. Palin and those like her are busy co-opting the Tea Party folks in an effort to re-brand themselves as constitution believing, honest to G-D, flag waving, American conservatives.

I propose a litmus test for any of the "new conservatives" that are frothing at the mouth on television. The fine folks over at the Cato Institute put out a hand held booklet of the constitution. Compare the voting records of the liar wanting your vote with the constitution and ask, "Why has this scumbag been voting contrary to the constitution for his/her whole career?" I feel safe in saying that they haven't followed the constitution because you, John Q. Public doesn't know what is in the constitution. It hasn't mattered to you since you had to squeak through your high school civics class.

Watch what is happening to what was once a great country instead of being glued to the TV to see what some trashy guido tramps are doing on "Jersey Shore". The real reality TV is what is kicking your country's butt into the gaping arms of euro-socialism.

Pearls, Ostriches, Televanglists, & John Q. Public Posted by YellowHammer

Written June 2009

As first reported by The Drudge Report on the evening of June 24, 2009 ABC and the Obama administration become one. When it is pointed out that official government media is what you find in China, Cuba, Venezuela, and the former Soviet Union you get a "clutch the pearls" reaction and feigned righteous indignation from the Obamatons of the country.

Point out that the government has been nationalizing sectors of the economy and this unholy union of government and media is being done in order to nationalize another 20% of our economy and the Obamatons immediately become one of two things. They are either stumbling bumbling used car salesmen or they transform into slick televangelists.

The used car salesmen are akin to the average run of the mill John Q. Public. JQP doesn't have a grasp of what is really going on, he gets all of his opinions from THE BOOB TUBE. That is the scary part and the evil genius behind the plan. You can bet the family farm (quick before the government nationalizes farming) that the Great Leader El Douche will be polished to a high sheen and his teleprompters will be pumping him full of false facts and numbers as to why we need to give the government full control of the health care industry. JQP will not grasp the enormity of it but he will repeat verbatim, GLED's high lights just like Honest Earl would repeat the high lights of ownership in an Edsel.

The Obamaton televangelists will trot out in the weeks following the "Sermon in DC" with all of the talking points programmed in and delivered much like the rapid fire staccato delivery of a Robert Tilton type of televangelist. Before you go "clutching the pearls" again, the term televangelist is really very apropos in this instance. The Great Leader El Douche is their saviour, their god (with a little g).

When these things are pointed out to the Obamatons they usually attack the messenger instead of the message and then promptly stick their heads in the sand.

Sheeple! Pull your heads out of the sand and stare reality in the face. We are about to be no better than the Soviets were after 1917. Everything planned and executed from the central government. I have stated before that this country gets the government that it deserves.

We are about to be up **** creek without a paddle.
