APPROVED! 1 More Trillion in Dept

[Tim/Mav 305]

So we again paid for the motels, lunch, dinner and salary for these people. A Government shut-down would have stopped all this aggressive spending of money we don't have if you think about it. I'm just curious of your thoughts.

The last goverment shutdown did not stop it. Why will a shutdown now stop all the useless spending and waste of taxes

People need to understand that 10x of 10y is really the same as 1x of 1y and the only difference is the position of the decimal point.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Sure is, and always will be. Did you know that spending on infrastructure etc can lead to increased economic benefits down the road or conversely the same can be just as true?

Wow impressive graphic. It's kinda tough to argue that borrowing money from the Chinese leads to "economic benefits down the road" In fact, it's quite the opposite.

Is China going to repossess America if the US can't print any more dollars?

Can you let the tea party know. They seem to have trouble with simple math. While you're at it, can you ask why it's okay to let wallstreet gamble with money under written by the tax payer?

My thought is that it is glaringly obvious that have a very poor grasp of 1) what was approved in Congress (hint: it was not another trillion dollars in debt) and 2) what fiscal impact the partial government shutdown actually had (hint: it didn't save a dime but rather caused more money to be spent than would have been the case without that shutdown). So, why don't you go and acquire at least a basic understanding of these two things and then come back here and try to have an informed discussion.

Ok to be correct it is a trillion dollar spending bill. but where is the money coming from? you can not spend money you do not have. Since the government will not stop their wasteful spending, every year the spending bill will go up more and more, while the national debt increases. So it might as well be call the trillion dollar debt bill
