Now I'm not trying to make the forum's LWNJs uncomfortable. That isn't something I like to do. So show it some love and lets talk about it with intelligence. Ah yes, the news and not just some opinion.

You mean borrowing and printing money is not good for the economy? Who could have known? Doh!

How about keeping air force one in the air constantly, never signing anything in DC, have to fly some where else to do it , so he can fly back to DC. That plane doesn't run on water, it takes expensive fuel and lots of it,

A permanent recess of Congress until November 2010 would work out great.

I t wouldn't take much to come up with plenty of ways to save money if they would just listen to us.

Yeah.. you rite. hmmmm... Let's see.. no more trips to Copenhagen (let Oprah get off her ka-zillions & pony up the cost for those 'Chicago' trips), no more date nites in NYC by the Oblablas to the tune of 300,000.. How 'bout the President actually parking Air Force One for just a week a month and being the president in Washington working for a change. Oh yeah.. no more 500,000 grants to Gore to develop 'green' hi-price cars which he promptly takes overseas for some foreign country to design, no more 200 billion to Brazil to drill for oil??? (that was so stupid!!) and.. hmm.. oh yes.. no more $ for Acorn !! Oh.. no HC .. no cap & trade.. no signature on the Copenhagen treaty.. I am sure others can think of lots of things ...

with that list the money would add up fast, don't forget about the 2 million to china to help with their prostitutes drinking problems. i know 2 millions is a small amount but there are a lot of 2 millions floating around. Also send the illegals back home would save more than we realize.

You rite... they say those undocumented illegals are costing the states a ton of money. And 2 million here, 2 million there, it starts becoming real money !!! Oh... let the legislators 'undo' their raises !!! Nobody else is getting raises in this crisis.

This mans knowledge seems to be shared with at least 25% of the American voter.
At his age, you would think he knew better. I wonder if he has progressive values, what ever that is, I don't want to know or even try to understand.
None of it makes sense.
Nice to see YOU, carlene!
