Fox Noise: "Creeping socialism is destroying America."

777Drum: "Squawk, creeping socialism is destroying America, creeping socialism is destroying America, creeping socialism is destroying America, squaaaaawk."

Once again, 777Drum, proves himself to be a blithering, blathering, brainwashed, idiot who has absolutely no idea what he's talking about! And now for something completely different, reality!

(1) J. Carter national debt = $1 trillion, budget deficit < $50 billion.

(2) R. Reagan national debt = $2.5 trillion, budget deficit = $250 billion.

(3) G.H.W. Bush national debt = $4 trillion, budget deficit = $400 billion.

(4) B. Clinton national debt = $2.5 trillion, BUDGET SURPLUS = $250 billion.

(5) G.W. Bush national debt = $10 trillion, budget deficit = $1 trillion. (The fraudulent Iraq War for war profiteers has so far cost over $1 trillion, is projected to cost a total of $3 trillion, and not one penny is for the benefit of America. The Bush billionaire banker's tax cut benefited less than 1% of Americans and led to a quadrupling of the national debt under his watch).

(6) Republicans can't balance a budget! They're too busy packing pork and cutting taxes for their billionaire banker and corporatist fascist pay masters.

(7) Republicans can't win a war! They're too cowardly to fight and to fat to run.

(8) Republicans can't protect America from domestic terrorist attacks! They're too busy planning fraudulent wars for the benefit of the war profiteering corporatocracy

(9) Republican corporate, fascist, corruption of government, in every branch, at every level has destroyed America, democracy, the economy, and it will take 50 years of sacrifice by everyone, but, especially the corporatists, to undo the damage that these pigs have done.

(10) If billionaire bankers and multinational corporations paid their fair share of taxes WHICH THEY DON'T, the middle class could pay less.

(11) The $700 billion Economic Stimulus Bill reduced net job losses from 800,000 per month when G.W. Bush left office in January, 2009, to under 100 in December, 2009. ALL credentialed economists agree that the Stimulus Bill was 1/2 the size it should have been.

(12) The "country" is broke (and I'm glad you characterized it that way) because that's exactly what the republicans want. That is the republican plan, to bankrupt the country so that there is no power or resources to stop the corporatocracy. With the help of their republican pimps, the corporatocracy has taken over the entire government, every branch, at every level. All of the laws and regulations are written by the lawyers of the corporatocracy, for their benefit.

(13) Since the puppet pimp, Ronald Reagan, was elected, and his fascist, fraudulent "trickle down" policies were implemented, the wealth and quality of life of the middle class has steadily declined, and the wealth of the top 1/10 of 1% has grown exponentially. Thanks to voodoo Reaganomics, ECONOMIC INEQUALITY BETWEEN THE CORPORATE ELITE AND THE MIDDLE CLASS IS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE 1928!

(14) As has been proven, over, and over, and over again, right under 777Drum's nose, FREE MARKET CAPITALISM DOESN'T WORK! It is a scam, a lie, a fraud.

(15) The American medical system is a disgrace! American medicine costs 1/5th of the GDP. That is, 1 out of every 5 dollars spent in America, is for medical care. And what do with get for this investment? (a) Medical care as a whole is the 3rd leading cause of death in America behind only heart attacks and cancer. (b) Adverse reactions to FDA approved drugs, alone, are the 4th leading cause of death. (c) Medical malpractice, alone, is the 6th leading cause of death. (d) The U.S. ranks 37th in life expectancy and infant mortality among industrialized nations. (e) Medical bills are the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S., more than all other causes combined. BUT, TEABAGGING WINGNUTS LIKE 777DRUM DON'T WANT TO CHANGE ANYTHING. THEY DON'T WANT SAFE AFFORDABLE MEDICINE, THAT WOULD IMPINGE ON THEIR FREEEEEEDOMMM! IDIOT!

OH WAIT!!! I see 777Drum is from Texas. Well, it all makes perfect sense now!
