No, it was all alone Obama's fault.  ::) ::) ::) ::)


If you have no clue about economics, why not just STFU, "Coach"?

Stick to giving training advice.

I think Putin put it just about right, what else could you call a country that firstly sells toxic assets to the rest of the world, then devalues its currency to minimise the returns to bond holders.A Global Parasite fits just about right, face it theres no recovery coming, the game of monopoly is almost up in your part of the world, and this is not a recession but a huge correction of a market that ran out of ideas 10 years ago and has been surviving on its own global pyramid scheme.

BTW, this is pretty shocking.
I woke up and found that former economic powerhouse has been downgraded! Of course it's reasonable considering the state of US economy but it's still a little shocker, I must admit.

Jews have been doing their best to genocide the White race. And if they even get close to succeeding you will see the Western World return to the dark ages. I would like to see how Jews fair in such a world. The non-white masses will kill them off to. Jews better rethink their attitude towards Whites. And really they have done enough now where it is time for a tribunal. Time to march Jews in front of the court for hate crimes against a race.

Capitalism doesn't work. Communism isn't the answer.  Population growth should be more controlled, having children should be like getting a loan, if you cant afford the repayments you cant have a child. Our western values have left us open to exploitation from people in our own countries and the third world, instead of donating food and money we should be paying for sterilisation drugs. Then at least in a generation we could make a difference instead of assisting poor starving people just repeat the cycle, this type of welfare situation are bankrupting Western society's, and are the source of most of the worlds problems along with religion.

So we should allow our government to control the state of existence? We should allow the government to control the basic foundation of life?

Personally, I'd rather live dirt poor than to ever live under such authority and I say that as an individual who grew up poor.

Military spending at What level are you refering to? Usa spending more then the rest of the world combined? thats Okay?

being stationed in a good 40 random countries? thats fine? how much does that cost each day to keep up? I heard the war costs 200 million a day, what about all the bases combined in all the countries? I just dont understand the point. Focus on America and make shit better for once.

It's like a broken record with college age kids being left and liberal.  They repeat the left chant that you're stupid if you don't agree with them.  They do have all the left university professors and almost the entire liberal media in their camp.  If fair and balanced Fox goes there will be no one representing sanity and all media will be for Obama and his crew 100%.

When the economy was sailing along great during the Clinton era none of the left said it's because of what he inherited from Reagan.  Now they blame Bush for everything that looks bad for 0bama.  Why the double standard?  

Half of the citizens of this country pay no taxes. I guarantee you they all vote democratic. The weaker this country gets the stronger the left gets with their promises of using tax payer money to take care of everyone.

In a way I hope Obama gets reelected again. When this country is wrecked they won't be able to blame the republicans.  We got Reagan because of Carter.

We'll gladly stop supporting Europe who seems to have had no problem renting our military out for Libya. Then your already bankrupt countries can take further losses when they have to spend their own money on defense.

LOL @ someone from Europe lecturing Americans on debt. The EU is a c\/nt-hair away from complete implosion and still Europeans think they're in a position to lecture Americans.

How many countries in Europe are completely insolvent? For starters, the PIIGS and England. Eventually France and Germany after they just signed their fates away on the EFSF this week.

Where did I say you were wrong? I'm saying that you aren't in a position to lecture us. We need to stop spending on our military and we can begin by cutting ties with the Europeans countries in NATO, the majority of which, despite making a commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defense as part of membership, come in well under that. Even with them relying on our military for everything (renting us out for Libya), they're STILL bankrupt.

Typical European hiding from the EU's complete failure.

Sweden is part of the EU, so no, you're not doing "fine". The only thing saving Sweden is the fact that they were smartest enough to stay off the Euro.

Yes we need to cut back EVERYTHING, however, to simply state that the defense spending is the main cause of the problem is pure nonsense,  

Plus, the commies and mini-madoffs like Obama and Pelosi dont want to use cuts in defense to save money or shrink govt, they want to use that money for social welfare somelse.  

And if we are spending money, I rather it go to defense than the lazy thugs, slugs, leeches, skells, public employee unions, and entitlement parasites.

Who increased National Debt?


Reagan: Debt spending up 189%


Bush 1: Debt spending up 55%


Clinton: Debt spending up 37%


Bush 2: Debt spending up 115%


Obama: Debt spending up 16%

You have one of the staunchest right wingers here (333), in this thread, agreeing that military spending needs to be cut.

You're taking isolated media events and conveying  them into what you want to believe it's like here.

But, most of those guys doing there job in the field ARE heroes, regardless.  They don't make policy, but that's off topic and I don't want to discuss it here.

The reason the downgrade was due to interference from the far right to get a budget established sooner rather than at the very last minute.  I don't blame the general group GOP or Democrats but the far right lunatics.  

Standard and Poor warned for months of the credit downgrade in advance if the debt ceiling was not raised.  They inserted themselves into the argument and prevented the GOP from making the original deal that was set up and instead demanded things that simply was not going to fly.  The fact that Boehner's plan was voted down by his own party in the House just shows just how bad the Tea Party.

Radicals, whether they are from the left wing or right wing are the ones who do not have the countries best interest and will drag us to damnation just to win.

The Tea Party got what they wanted and this is the end result.  When you go to the polls this year, vote for common sense.  Vote for people who are willing to compromise for the good of the nation.  Proposing absolutes never get anywhere.

The graph accounts for the amount of deficit but we certainly did not accumulate all of the debt within a period of 2 years.  Fact being is that you cannot blame the current president for bills that were already there for a war he didn't start or an economic recession that was just beginning.  The only thing he's guilty of is being the loser of the game of "Hot Potato".... ::)

Where did I say you were wrong? I'm saying that you aren't in a position to lecture us. We need to stop spending on our military and we can begin by cutting ties with the Europeans countries in NATO, the majority of which, despite making a commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defense as part of membership, come in well under that. Even with them relying on our military for everything (renting us out for Libya), they're STILL bankrupt.
Typical European hiding from the EU's complete failure.
Sweden is part of the EU, so no, you're not doing "fine". The only thing saving Sweden is the fact that they were smartest enough to stay off the Euro.

Ha ha you typical dumb stupid American fukwit. The EU is simply a group of countries who have a trading relationship which mean goods and services can pass between the member countries without being affected by import duties etc. Member country citizens can work freely in all member countries. We have a few other trading rules.  That is all the EU is.  Sweden and the UK have been smart enough to retain their own currencies therefore they keep control of the interest rates used in their own countries.

The Euro countries all have to have the same interest rates in place so cannot use interest rate adjustment to make the fiscal changes required by their individual economy. The Euro countries are fucked.  UK and Sweden were smart enough to avoid this. Germany would love to return to the Deutsche Marke.

Dude, that's a ver ver very stupid thing to say. What you actually need is population growth to expand the tax base and increase the number of people paying into social security as opposed to collecting it.

I've probably eaten more calories in my first 25 years then I would need in my whole life to live. How many calories does the human body really need to survive? And we haven't even scratched the surface about how high we could build into the skies. I'm guessing a thousand calories a day would be plenty to survive in a lifetime.

The problem is you aren't just paying for your own kid, you're paying for everyone else.  This at the core of the problem with socialism and why it has NEVER worked throughout history.  History clearly defines and shows us time and time again that free markets and true capitilism is what allows innovation and frees the people from the chains of stifled growth that socialism promotes.

And don't even ramble on with the MIchael More rhetoric that capitlism is what caused these problems because America hasn't been a capitlistic country in decades. We're in a state of pure corporitism and fascism and have been for about 30 some odd years.  In a true capilist society the banks would have failed, the government would have never attempted to stimulate the economy (which it never should have to begin with) and the markets would have corrected themselves.  Instead we have massive government interference with the bailouts increasing our national debt beyond repayence along with intervention into the market with the stimuls which has done absolutely nothing to promote growth and not only delay but tremendously worsen the effect of market correction.

Hold on tight, this is just the beginning.  Things will be worse this week than last and will only get worse as the weeks go on.

You can't seriously ask this question can you?  The U.S. throughout the early 20th century was about as capitalistic as it comes when talking about free markets.  We flourished on all levels from manufacturing, education, to science and engineering.  Once the government began meddling in these areas through over regulation which caused exportation of American jobs to other countries as well as installing failed institutions such as the Department of Education which caused tremendous increases in tuition and a tremendous loss in quality we began to sink down the toilet.  We fell into corporatism where the government services the desires of their own bank accounts over the people.

People have this idea that they don't mind pitching in their fair share but that idea is fatally flawed when the people your pitching your money to put it in their own pockets.  You may think it's ok to spend someone else s money, but remember, the government is spending yours.  When has the government ever ran a successful program?  Medicare, medicaid, social security all the way down to cash for clunkers, all massive complete failures of epic proportions.

Your economy like most western economies has been on the razor's edge for almost 40 years now. Your judging with a fucked up eyesight, that's what your doing.

Obama hasnt dealt with anything!   He spent the first year and a half on the bogus stim bill as well as health care instead of the economy.

As if a Keynesian plan could produce effects in a year and a half. Everybody all around the globe, the financial system first actually, was begging for governments to pour a shitload of money in the system. Just face it, your economy has been fucked up for a much longer time than you want to admit. You're just starting to realize that. The worst is yet to come.

Please -  Kenyanomics does not work.   the  Stim Bill was at best a hodge podge of nonsense.  ObamaCare is a disaster.

So what are we doing in lybia?  

And are those extra 30,000 troops in Afghanistan a mirage?  

LMAO - pure comedy from you.    


Yes... that Libya case was a total FAIL

USA was supposed to stay out of there and let other NATO countries do the job at once.

Well... as we all know now, other countries FAILED big time and totally and USA was forced to take part in operation.
Look, americanos! Your allies suck big time. Without America, NATO is total pussy!!! Useless without US.

They ran out of bombs there, no suitable petrol for some planes was available... total comedy! And opponent was practically unarmed Libya. War has still not ended LOL  ;D

Not denying facts here:
USA is military superpower. Your allies are useless though, as we saw in Libya.

Not true. Actually in Europe, Obama is way more respected than Bush was eventhoguh he is a disappointment. But you have no idea how much Europeans and let's not even talk about the rest of the world laughed at Bush. Kenyanomics like any other ecnomic policy will or wil not work according to the circumstances. It can't work as effectively as it did once because the geeral entropy of the systemn is at a much higher level. But he's not the only one to blame.

But being in business (like most everyone in business) you better know shit about the economy so saying that isn't fair. My training advices, although not on here directly effects my business.

And you are arguing he didnt expand Afghanistan?   Now you 95ers are just lying your asses off just to dick suck obama.

Clarifying false information that's given out about Obama is not an endorsement.  Spanking 333386 across the ass for his racist comments doesn't make me a Democrat...in fact most Republicans would distance themselves from a character like him.  

When Bush was in office, I did the same thing.  I've even mentioned just 2 weeks ago about his policies in which they would have worked if the tax cuts the wealthy received were used to create jobs.  Of course, we know that instead of doing so, they pocketed the money and continued to ship jobs overseas.

Unfortunately, I don't have many good things to say about the GOP at this present time.  Its gone so far right that it basically outweighs the actual value of fiscal responsibility.  People who demand absolutes will never reach a suitable outcome.  I hate the Tea Party because they are in my opinion a group of racist anarchist trying to disguise themselves as Republicans.  They have no respect for civility or any professional tact whatsoever.

And there lies the problem.  The Tea Party Controlled GOP took control of the House and here we are in the situation currently.  The Tea Party is going to scare away all the moderates and independents.  Not only that, there is no strong contender that is even matching Obama according to Real Clear Politics.  He's still beating all of them by at least 9 points and that's bad considering that the campaign is not even in full swing.

At this point and time based on figures, unless the GOP turns the steering wheel back to the left a bit, its going to be a shit sandwich and everyone is going to have to take a meaty bite

333 has stated a lot of bullshit and a number of racist comments.  I've not seen you say much inaccurate information nor have you made any racist comments.  My issue with your politics Coach is that you listen to Rush Limbaugh when in fact, he would not give a rat's ass about you.  He's a snob for profit and entertainment just like Bill Mahar, Steve Colbert, Glenn Beck, and John Stewart.  They only say what they say for purposes of attracting viewers and making money. 

I've worked for people like them, their narcissism is reprehensible and quite frankly when the cameras are off, I would not be surprised if they all got together and smoked cigars laughing at how they got over on all of us regular people

The markets have shown that the credit downgrade means nothing in terms of the borrowing ability of the US.  By markets i mean government bond/treasury markets.

The stock markets have melted down however, and has tanked during his speech even yesterday (because he said nothing, just mumbled). 

Now, every economic move, right or wrong, is only declared as such by the loudest mouth.  If the right continues to bash Obama's administration for the downgrade, it will be conceived as such by the sheep, whether right or wrong.

He cannot blame Bush anymore.  Every time he does that, he sounds more stupid.  He was literally in hiding during the downgrade as it took him 16 hours to acknowledge it.  He cancelled his press conference and the daily white house briefing today.

If Bernanke says anything shy of "i am printing 10 trillion dollars tonight to inflate the stock market", the markets will plunge again.  If he does say that, how will that fare for Obama's future?

But that's the way the stock market goes.  I'm going to be busy today setting up first ecommerce store on Facebook.  By the end of the day hopefully, everyone will be able to buy my line of products from Caliber Fitness Solutions directly off of Facebook.
