The money that the government spends is taken out of the economy, and then put back in with all the waste and bureaucracy in place so we lose a large percentage. This is robbing from peter to pay paul and losing 40% on the way!How is it taken out of the economy?

Posted by MikeT23 on 3/1/2013 5:30:00 PM (view original): Just that if the government was selling enough treasury bonds, there wouldn't be a deficit. Treasury notes aren't funding the deficit, By definition, nothing funds a deficit.
This happened 4 1/2 years ago. Just because you can't remember ****, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Posted by swamphawk22 on 3/1/2013 11:07:00 PM (view original):I wasnt wrong. It is a little hard to actually document how it was covered. I can guarantee it was never talked about on SNL. Except on Fox News there was no mass coverage of it. Hillary used it and McCain later used it in speechs, but it wasnt pumped up. It was just another topic. It was far worse than the 47% comment, but it wasnt labeled as as a game changing gaffe.
