$1.4 Trillion in Debt - for just this year

    I really don't get this - nobody is talking about us going into a massive $1.4 trillion dollar debt for this year alone. And this was to help the economy? Where's the jobs? Where at 10% unemployment and 17% "under-employment". I don't see how all this money has helped the nation. All it did was go to corporate goons to bail out their companies while they're spending millions on parties. I just don't understand this government.

    What are you talking about, anything the government gives is free.

    ~ Seems to be a game of chicken - The Republicans spent money to prevent the Democrats from having their "big" government and now the Democrats are spending money to show the Republicans their selfish motivations are not going to work because they are going to spend it anyway.....and the military is always drunk spending money, so everyone is happy as usual - Merry Christmas.
