394. America Runs For the Thistle Award

Only Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan and Portugal have debts larger than their economies in the major economies of the world. But, look out, the U.S. is now running for the dishonorable thistle award. We have joined the "elite" countries that are bringing down Europe and Japan that has had a stagnated economy for over a decade! According to this USA Today article, we've made it to Debt=Economy level. $15.3T doesn't sound bad when you compare it to the estimated $26T expected within the this decade; whoa, what are you saying? Right! It sucks. Read the article that explains that the debt reductions already passed will cut that $26T to $24T. What progress! Now do you think we need a BUSINESS-Oriented fellow in the White House. One that had EXPERIENCE in reducing costs and growing a company (nation)? Another wake up call for those still dreaming that things will get better on their own WITHOUT a leader. We can't afford new stuff, let alone the old stuff, like Obamacare already consuming too much too early.
