If only Obama understood when to stop borrowing…

My cousin Kenneth was a basketball player for Arizona State U. and an LDS missionary to Eugene (used to see him shoot hoops when ASU was the U-Dub Huskies’ visiting team).

Why does he need a net when he’s still got a hoop?

Who makes their kid pay to replace a rotten old, worn out BB net? Now if he actually broke something….

Candidate Obama correctly calls President Bush’s spending unamerican. President Obama makes Bush’s spending look trivial.

So did the kid get a new net last week or an advance on his allowance?I hope it wasn’t a new net.

The president that didn’t need to learn that was the one that had us in the black and paying down the national debt — Clinton. Of course, we couldn’t have that when GWB took over.

Night-Gaunt49: The rate of increase is going down. The debt is still rising. The last president to get the total debt down was Grover Cleveland.

Also, until yesterday, “Four straight years” without a budget…

Why do we even have a “debt ceiling” when every time we get close, we raise it? And Night-Gaunt, Down? Really? Where can I find those statistics? Thanks.

Four straight years of trillion dollar deficits. Where did you learn math?
