This Is One Scary Clock

Let me guess, you guys are afraid that the Chinese are going to enslave you when they come to collect the money that we owe them?

Shit, I should be afraid to cross the street too huh?

I couldn't care less about the Chinese as long as we have smarter, better weapons. However, I do worry about a serious tax increase and the financial burden being placed on my son, nephew, niece and eventual grand children. What is so wrong with the government only spending what it has to spend (Balanced Budget Ammendment). Did you look at the "Interest on the Debt" item, take that away and we can provide health insurane vouchers for millions of people (or smarter, better weapons like killer satellites).

Still have checks in the checkbook? Must be ok to keep on writing them, right?

Don't use checks anymore. I know how to balance my budget, bank account, and mattress. I see the national debt is not preventing you from writing personal checks though.

Nah, we will just follow California's example and just give iou's, I am sure China will hold them in good esteem. Did you not notice when China was pushing to get the dollar replaced as the world currency, why do you think they want that? just being silly i guess.

Even the guys that know about economics don't know squadoosh about economics.

Edit: You are right I know less than most. At this time I am just going to refrain from making any more comments about the world financial clock, our national debt or economics. Ignorance is bliss and at this point this stuff doesn't scare me. Maybe it should but honestly I don't care.

If you're going to be blissfully ignorant, just refrain from voting so you don't contribute to the country's problems.

There are so many other issues that I am not ignorant about. I pick the ones that matter most to me and I still vote. Even the Almighty Schneed cannot care about absolutely everything. Everyone is blissfully ignorant about something.

Well, I'll put it this way, the debt issue has the potential to put a lot more people out of a job, and make things more expensive to buy. That's as simple as I can put it.

How anyone can care about any issue more than that one (aside from wars) is beyond me.

I don't buy that you don't care. I think it's more that you're intellectually lazy, can't understand how the debt could possibly affect you, and don't want to take the time to figure it out. You better hope someone fixes the problem for you, because if you don't care now, you'll care then.

You mean like the bums off the street and the people the dems have to teach how to vote that they bus in for each election. LOL
