If you and I had a business and it was run as poorly as the deadbeats we have sent to Washington are running the business of our country we would have a quick meeting and agree to throw them out on their backsides....and it's not specific to either political party.

$ 9 , 3 5 9 , 9 2 7 , 9 7 6 , 8 8 6 . 5 6 is the national debt as of this writing and for those who cannot get accustomed to choking down sick numbers, that's a 9 TRILLION dollar number.

The dirty secret is that sick number is not even the real deficit. It is a Treasury Dept put your best foot forward number that conceals the REAL DEFICIT. Yes, the real budget deficit....the debts we are going to have to pay long after these jerks who are living high on the tax payer hog leave their cush gigs in D.C. is a much higher number.

Call it the IMPLIED NATIONAL DEBT if you prefer. It's the true liability of the United States of America. That is, not only the Treasury bills, notes and bonds we sell to finance our annual deficit and past deficits. But all the promises we've made to make payments in the future...you know, Medicare and Social Security, etc.

That's how you get a ridiculous $55 trillion national debt.

Even with a war that has us hemorrhaging money (and, by the way, running up bills for the treatment of an entire generation of war torn soldiers with head traumas that will cause massive debilitating problems and expensive therapy for decades to come), the war is NOT the biggest weight on this country's economic future. The biggest problem is health care costs that are spiraling so quickly they will turn this once great nation into back of the parade carcass of what it once was.

Ask of your candidates what they plan to do about this. Usually you can get the best info on their websites because in this superficial culture the debates are increasingly about things like gays marrying and gun control.

Unless you are charging gays 40 billion per marriage and each gun owner 2 billion per gun they own, those issues ain't gonna protect us from being ground into dust by the death star of debt.

Let's get focused on the right stuff and get out of this mess.

Maybe we should have a CPA as our next president instead??? (Said very tongue-in-cheek...)

Mark- BRAVO-!! Totally agree with you. I have been reading about the actual deficit, the trillions in unfunded debt, but not on FOX. Your blog is the first to mention this problem on FOX. Everyone else here is obsessed with illegal immigration, and posting silly cartoons about the democratic candidates. They don't want to discuss how incompetent, and corrupt the Bush administration has been. The damage this administration is going leave the U.S. with will be long lasting. It may even result in this country no longer being a super power and world leader.

Isn't it ironic Mark that the government has the gall to waste our money on things they really don't need, yet when someone suffers a hardship when attempting to pay taxes, they attack the person like a boa constrictor to squeeze every cent out of them, and even go after their relatives when they are emptied out? This mess has been piling up for several decades now - before any one who was born after World War 2 was ever born. Yes, it started out as a little blip, but it has now mushroomed, and it will not be solved by 2012...you can bet that someone who runs in 2012 will blame this upcoming administration for not advancing into a miracle. Does anyone else here see that coming too?

That DM is nothing but a Far-Left spinmeister. She's saying this is the first she's heard of this? Either her memory is short or she is lying. For example, I have repeatedly pointed out, at the state level in California, we have a structural budget deficit of $10 billion from tax funds consumed by Illegal Aliens and their Anchor Baby children. Hospital emergency rooms have closed due to lack of funding, Now cities are declaring bankruptcy and all's people like DM suggest is to grant AMNESTY, importing more third world illiterate peasants, Illegal Alien gangsters, who contribute nothing to our economy and culture, by taking Americans jobs and lowering the American tax base. Everything has been heard on FOX11 and right here on these blogs.

BTW - the scourge of The Illegal Immigration Crisis is pervasive throughout our society. Something DM simply doesn't want to acknowledge. Do you acknowledge those things listed above, Mark?

Hello to all,

My name is Adriana Marrero, I'm a 25 year old Account Manager for Bridgeport Insurance Brokers In Los Alamitos, California.

I've been in the insurance industry since I was a senior in high school, and as much as I appreciate and thank my mother for getting me into insurance. Part of me has always wanted to do something else... a model, to be in pageants and have all attention on me, even if it is for a day... I finally have that chance! I've been selected to be a finalist for the Miss Latina World Pageant being held in San Antonio Texas on August 30-September 1st...

Here is where I need help, as excited as I am to go and represent all the Latina woman of the world...There's some work I need to do in collecting my entry fee to the pageant.

I'm in need of everything, from an evening gown, make up, airplane ticket to and from Texas, my entry fee...OMG!!! The list goes on and on...

**I am asking any of you out there that are able to help me- Not Only will you be making my dreams come true, but you will also be promoting your business in the Miss Latina World Pageant Magazine. Your Information will be listed below my picture and name as a sponsor. It would be an amazing opportunity to represent Miss Cuba at the Miss Latina World Pagent.

Thank you all and God bless!

If interested you can reach me via email at agmarrero@hotmail.com I can provide you with more sponsor information coming straight from the Miss Latina World Website.

Thank you again

Adriana M.

DF: She??? LOL!! lets see... a trillion dollars spent on the IRAQ war, tax cuts for the SUPER rich, and the BUSH administration continuing to spend money as if it grows on trees. So lets say 10 billion is spent on illegal immigrants, far more is being spent this year on Iraqis, how do you account for the other several trillion dollars of deficit?
Your language is disgusting. "Anchor Babies"? These are human beings that are AMERICAN CITIZENS. Whether you like it or not. "Third world illiterate peasants", you accuse me of hating America which I don't, but how do you go through life hating humanity so much?

Third world illiterate peasants

______________________________________________

Certainly not terms that I made up, but definitely accurate ones.

People who purposely come to this country ILLEGALLY and pop out babies on U.S. soil (at our expense) so that it will be more difficult to deport are not only criminals, they're destroying the very fabric of America.

And as for the "illiterate peasants" term, you can't get more accurate than that. 90% of the criminals who come here can't even read or write their own language, and a peasant is just a poor farmer. Look it up.

YOU seem to be the only one who's willing to pay for these illegal invaders, so why not put your money where your mouth is and invite a couple of dozen to move into your place? If you're the great Jimmy Carter humanitarian you claim to be this should be no problem, right?

I'm waiting to see if Mark Thompson will fund the skankoid's Miss Cuba pageant and pay for more cool tattoos. Come on Mark, it would be good publicity for FOX to give away more money to needy people.

TAINT: So how do you account for the several trillion dollars in deficit spending? Answer that question. IDIOT.

Jimmy Carter Humanitarian? Please, never said that.

Uh, Mark my friend, there is a third choice that many choose to ignore so here is the information on him and the third party that could easily fix what the other parties have broken. It's called the Constitution Party and their website is here at http://www.constitutionparty.com/ and their presidential candidate is none other then "Chuck Baldwin" for President. If enough people get the word out, you can have a political party that cares about and loves this country, not the other crapheads.

I would advise you goto my blog with Chuck's acceptance speech for the party nomination and hear what this guy has to say before you lose hope. Unfortunately, your buddy Bob Tarlau has with FOX ignored the millions in this third party, which is a shame, but shows very much how FOX isn't really Fair and Balanced. Here is my blog link Mark, don't lose hope yet!

Chuck Baldwin is the Constitution Party's candidate? Bob Tarlau and FOX are laying down on the job.

I personally am leaning toward writing in This Aint Your Land. I'd like to hear from Chuck Baldwin. Come on FOX!!!

Villaraigosa’s Spending Is Up 32%
By Walter Moore, Candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles, WalterMooreForMayor.com

Please burn this number into your memory: 32%.

The next time you hear someone claim Villaraigosa is “cutting spending” because of a “budget crisis,” I want you to blurt out that number: 32%.

That number is how much more of your money Villaraigosa is spending now than when he first took office: 32%.

Villaraigosa’s proposed budget calls for spending $7 billion this year.

The spending budget when he took office was “just” $5.3 billion per year.

That’s an increase of $1.7 billion per year, which amounts to 32%.

And what do we have to show for it? The quality of life in our city has continued to plummet, while the Mayor acts as though his job is to pose for photo-ops.

Do you make 32% more money than you did when Villaraigosa took office? No? Then why should he raise your DWP bill, your trash fees, your parking meter rates, your library privileges, your right to drive on streets for which your tax dollars paid, and your phone bill even higher than he has already?

You need a Mayor who won’t squander your money. I’m your man. I’m 100% your candidate for Mayor.
