jimbrown 0 #1 June 6, 2011 So you all know how crazy this national debt thing has gotten. Right now to pay it off every american household would have to pony up something like $125,000 today. So look at the poll above. Is it your debt. Much of it was probably accrued before you were ever born. Certainly , any child born in America today will be saddled with a huge amount of debt. And some of you people are bitchin about these Mexican babies as citizens why? Peace, Jim B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #3 June 6, 2011 Quote Is it your debt. Much of it was probably accrued before you were ever born. no, most of it was accrued from the Reagan Administration on. Went from 1T to 4T in the 80s, slowed down under Clinton, reaccelerated under Bush, and got a rocket underneath it with Obama. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
