The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.
It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills.
It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally.
Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’
Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.
America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
— Then-Senator Obama, on the proposed Debt Limit increase, on March 20, 2006.

What you hear from the Obama administration is, “We’re helpless, our programs aren’t working.” What you hear from Congress is, “we don’t know what to do so we’re going to do nothing.

Fiscal policy does not work. The US has just tried the biggest fiscal experiment in history and it has failed. What matters is the quantity of money and in extremis that can be increased easily by quantititave easing. If the Fed doesn’t act, a double-dip recession is a virtual certainty.

Private pay is down, government benefits are up. For both, they are at the lowest/highest in history. Lowest private pay EVER, highest amount of government benefits EVER.
The original graph is from this USA Today Article. I did some quick photoshopping to see when the two will meet, showing when America will become a complete welfare state.
All I did was repeat the existing line at the exact same angle. Personally, I think this is a conservative estimate, as the major up-turns in government benefits happened (oddly?) in the last two years, and will accelerate in the coming years.
Just something to think about. Good news is that soon there will be no reason to work!

Florida 20% rebate for appliances will go fast
Florida’s horribly- and unoriginally-named “cash for clunkers” home rebate program, which allows up to a 20% rebate on new home appliances, is expected to run out very quickly. The program has only $17.6 Million, starts April 16th, and is expected to last 10 days or less.
If you need new appliances, now’s the time! Get that free government money!
