The U.S. for decades paid off what it cost to have the Revolutionary War. It was completely out of debt until it started borrowing cash to fund the War of 1812. There was an initial $52,000.dollar loan that was never repaid and the interest accrued was in the millions by the Civil War.

Where is the inflation? Are you saying the Federal Reserve isn't fulfilling its mission of keeping inflation low? It's (notice the apostrophe) just a matter time until what? Oh, dear, dear. It sounds awful. Just a matter of time until what?

Whose job is it to create jobs, if not the government's? It's certainly not the job of corporations. Is it my job? Is it your job? Whose job is it if not the government's?

Th US had its highest growth during the 50's, when the US was the only western economic power that did not have its infrastruture obliterated by bombs. It was not when Reagon was president, his actions put many out of work, decimated the boating industry, and started the attack on the middle class. Government on the other hand, helped build the interstate, intrastate, and local highways, bridges,numerous hospitals, and provides security for all of us.

This is the republican’s response to prevent any progress in reemployment, economic expansion, or any other good economic news, as a means to divert the fact that all they want to do is ensure the rich get richer. Remember that government is the employer of the last resort, and the private sector has lengthened the work week, cut individual pay, diverted retirement, cut out maternity leave, and pays their CEO's 400 times what the average worker makes.

It is not the governments job to create jobs.....remember when the US had the highest growth in the entire history of the world was when taxes were low and the government was small and people just worked for themselves

Obama is a joke. We are 100 Trillion in the hole and growing another 2 Trillion a year and he wants to keep spending. Using GAAP.
