Chip00, I only agreed with solamentetu's remarks about the deficit which I and many other Americans HAVE TO PAY!
Since when did they send you a bill in the mail? I paid my federal taxes last year and they were like $3000 - what in the world are you talking about paying then????????????????
I think that gives me the right to speak on this issue whether you like it or not, you approve of it or not or you think it is offensive or not! Also, what exactly gives you the right to speak on behalf of a group of Americans that automatically disqualifies me from speaking on behalf of the same group?
You have every right - have at it fellow American. Where did I ever say you didn't - I was making the point that to say the OP's remark wasn't offensive is wrong. FYI - I'm not a proponent of what can be found the world over but fortunately in the good ol'USA - censorship of opinions.
Please, Chip00, don't put words into my mouth! I did not imply economic implosion.
You said it "...it will bite *us* Americans in the butt sooner or later.
not me - I said that that won't be happening soon.
The US population is ~300 million that makes every American share of the debt ~US$29,000; a debt that is biting EVERY American in the butt RIGHT NOW for sure!!!
For goodness sakes buddy - who in the world ever told you that each citizen will have to pay for this defecit? Ever heard of responsible spending and cutbacks?????????????????????????
Of course, this is a sustainable economic practice in your reality. Are you so wrapped up in your pipe dream that you can't see the problem in this?
FYI do you have any idea how long and through how many different adminstrations we have had this defecit??????????????
