ParticipantThe banks also received a significant amount of bailout money and yet they are not making low interest loans to start up businesses. I have a problem with corporate welfare to the Chargers and to the big banks who have swallowed the smaller banks. The same thing happened with grocery chains, is happening with car companies and will happen with the airlines. Pretty soon it will be like the Sci Fi movie with one restaurant- Taco Bell. Good grief. Fight back people before Lieberman takes the Internet from us. This is an extension of my anti government rant and not an authentic threadjack: “Lieberman said the Internet was ‘constantly being probed by other countries for weaknesses and that “we need the capacity for the president to say to an Internet service provider, ‘We’ve got to disconnect the American Internet from all traffic coming in from this country.’”
He cited China, which has long been criticized for its Internet censorship, as an example. “Right now, China can disconnect parts of its Internet in times of war. We need to be able to do that too.”
What really scares me is his citing what China, a totalitarian regime can do, as a logical example. What is Joe smoking?

ParticipantPrecisely why we are now a nation of lazy weaklings instead of strong, independent citizens. You made my point for me.

Participant“The deficit will start rising again, largely because of rising health care costs.”
“At the moment, as you may have noticed, the U.S. government is running a large budget deficit. Much of this deficit, however, is the result of the continuing economic crisis, which has depressed revenue and required extraordinary expenditures to rescue the financial system. As the crisis abates, things will improve. The Congressional Budget Office, in its analysis of President Obama’s budget proposals, predicts that economic recovery will reduce the annual budget deficit from about 10 percent of G.D.P. this year to about 4 percent of G.D.P. in 2014.”
“Unfortunately, that’s not enough. Even if the government’s annual borrowing were to stabilize at 4 percent of G.D.P., its total debt would continue to grow faster than its revenue. Furthermore, the budget office predicts that after bottoming out in 2014, the deficit will start rising again, largely because of rising health care costs.”
