Hey, they gave thousands of millions to the people that f'd everything up, are you REALLY expecting them to fix all of this within the week? xD

Obama is not the problem, its the ENTIRE government, until people realize that, and do something about it its when things may have a chance of getting fixed...

Btw, where are your sources?
You can't have credibility without sources, you know?

nbc news. continuously updated every day.

I'm pretty sure that NBC did not say that we were "doomed." That's just an educated guess, though.

Also, in related news, the Senate passed a spending bill (http://www.cnbc.com/id/44673635) the other day. Source? CNBC.

Well... I think Congress and the President could do a bit of good by slashing their own personal budgets and refuse to take a paycheck. Show some good faith to the people by setting an example rather than wasting all our money pampering themselves and still not able to get anything accomplished. Quite a few of them are millionaires and really don't need the money, but they happily take it anyway even though there are a ton of people out of work.

Term limits would be a nice touch as well..

Well when I'm president of the United States I will fly around in an Antonov 225 with luxurious interior and wear cool uniforms and extend the White House with a aquarium so I can play underwater hockey surrounded by exotic fish that cost more than your home.

Also forget limited terms I am emperor for life.

The reason we have money problems at all is the fact that our people are afraid of the words of Marx. They all think taxes are bad, and socialism is evil. If we raised taxes to say... %70 of the income, and incorporated government housing, schooling, medicine, and energy, we might find our money problems fixing themselves. The problem is the super conservative movements in the US that seek huge tax and program cuts. These are not solutions, they are blind attempts to solve the problem using backwards logic. The government gets it's money from we, the people. If there are large tax cuts, it is like we are laying off the government, and purposefully putting ourselves in even more debt. Now I understand that over 50% of your income sounds like a lot, but when you stop paying insurance, stop paying for your house, and stop paying for school, it is hardly anything. That is the part that people cannot seem to grasp.2011-09-29 19:35:00

I am not saying that our current government does not waste money. I am saying that our current government is a waste of money. Massive reform is needed to keep us afloat. We cannot keep hold of our cold war grudges much longer. Socialism is the answer, and we, as Americans, are too bull headed to see it.

We all have such a small idea of what money actually is and where it comes from that people honestly believe we can ever run out of money?!

There's a simple solution to the worlds money problems - dismantle all banks, and have interest free loans granted by the government.

Here's how it is just now;
Banks: Oh dear - remember all of that money that we were looking after for you? it turns out we've lost it all! - We need all the money you have again RIGHT NOW!
Us: Can we get some assurances?
Banks: No - now hurry up and give us your money!
Us: Ok - just this ONE LAST TIME!
Banks: Fine - oh, by the way - you still owe us all of your money!
Us: What about all the money we just gave you?!
Banks: Oh, we paid that to ourselves for doing such a good job looking after your money!
