Ahhhhhhh......and look at the makeup of the Dow and the S&P 500.....companies which benefit by selling outside of the United States. WHAT LEVEL DO YOU THINK THE MARKETS WOULD BE AT IF THE DOLLAR HADN'T HALVED IN VALUE????
Plus, there is a difference between the deficit and the national debt. A huge difference. Even 60 Lame Minutes doesn't appear to understand the difference.
Oh, but don't worry, all will be well once President Obama is elected...

...we're not gonna listen to the former Comptroller General? I have a feeling that he kinda knows what's going on

To say that this is frightening maybe the biggest understatement since Noah said it looks like rain. Other than the flight time, I hear Australia is not that bad.
Why would Obama listen to him? He is obviously not a socialist and therefore not part of the political elite. There are statistics, more statistics, and damn statistics (or something like that). The Obamadramas who think that by taxing The Rich are simply fooling themselves or are fools. That includes Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.
Guess what we don't have today?
An Annual Asset Tax.
Guess what will likely be on the table?
An Annual Asset Tax.
And why not? Obviously, the longer that Warren Buffet and Bill Gates hang onto their shares, the longer the US Treasury (and We The People) have to wait.
If only we can get our grubby little hands on it all that much sooner....

Well, all I know is that at 41 I'll likely be one of the people taking it up the rear when I reach retirement age and this has all crashed and burned.
Yet it is still very difficult to contemplate a "bankrupt America" with a worthless currency. I don't see any situation where either party will be cutting benefits to seniors. What a complete mess we have on our hands. It sure doesn't matter that so many doctors and corporations have ripped off the US Taxpayer (and I'm only talking the Medicare system here- don't get me started about the Defense Department!)
But when I see that an investor-owned public utility can get away with paying secretarys $60k and up per year, what else is out there? The foxes are guarding the hen house. We deserve the government we elect.
So as long as there ISN'T an asset tax (other than estate taxes) guess what kind of retirement plan you ought to be investing in????

I am 33 and in the same boat, however, why should I expect somebody else, or 245 million other taxpayers, to pick up the slack for my lack of planning. I understand that some( a lot) of people live paycheck to paycheck, hand to mouth, whatever you want to call it. This is for the most part, nowhere near a buckle down society.
What does bother me, is people who, and I have seen this on too many occasions, want to bitch about never having money for necessary things. Food, clothing, diapers, etc., yet everytime I see them have a cigarette and a beer in their hand at the bar.
So let's punish the successful people for others mistakes, it truly saddens me.
They're not being punished, they're just doing "their fair share" - I'm pretty certain that's how Obamadrama puts it. And why should the change? All the bigmouths (except for those mean conservatives) say that change is in the air, and they're going to be treated even better than they are today. Their train is pulling into the station with all the goodies on board.
How about cellphones and satellite tvs plus a car and gas allowance, too? I mean c'mon! These people have a need for a car to get to work, should they choose to work, and since GM, Ford, and Chrysler are in the toilet already, it would seem the best solution would be for the US Government to buy cars for everyone who's not rich (isn't that now under $250,000 under Obamadrama's plan???)
Sounds like "A New Car in Every Driveway", just a modification from the 50's slogan!
