Obama warns about years of trillion-dollar deficits

who cares? You agree with passing the buck so long as we remain in a contraction. You and the one differ on the length of the contraction, not with passing the buck.

sorry, but no.

Repetitive.

What it comes down to is that huge deficits are OK as long as:
- The Dems have power
- They say they have a 'good reason' for running them.

(Note that only Dems can have a 'good reason' for running them)

No that is not what it comes down to. What it comes down to is a return on INVESTMENT. What have we walked out with in the past 8 years as compared to the Clinton 8 years? After Clinton's 8 a new industry was firmly in place, the internet.

That's funny, what I had perceived is that what it comes down to is that huge deficits are OK as long as:

- The Repubs have power
- Republicans say they have a 'good reason' for running them.
- They're because of tax cuts

(Note that only Repubs can have a 'good reason' for running them)

Funny how that works out.

pointing out their hypocrisy gets repetitive though. :roll:

Don't worry about us, we can handle ourselves. There have been proclamations of doom before, the most they amount to is recession and once, depression. As you can see we've survived them all. I'm sure we'll find some way to get out of this one without "total collapse and civil war".

Yes, but the most notable collapse is not economically, but politically and intellectually, as well as less than those socially. Add on top of this a financial crash never before seen, which will most likely last until the economy and way of running it is completely overhauled. This I cannot see happening, I cannot foresee great economic and political changes happening in the US, and if they do not, a civil war is inevitable.

Yes, like what? Investing hundreds of billions(possibly a trillion) of dollars in bankrupt financial institutions?

But investing in new ideas that create long term value is against the ideals of capitalism, which will only invest in things for short term profits... It will unfortunately never happen Winston that a capitalist society will do long term investments, unless something changes COMPLETELY.
