   Okay, I see one or two mentions of the US debt by Teresita.   
      
   This obsession with the debt I see (not just by you, oh my, no)   
   is no more reality-based than Obama's Kenyan birth. Ronny   
   and Poppy and Dubya did their best to run our debt up   
   (two wars on the credit card!) in order to manufacture   
   an excuse to social engineer. Other than under them, we've   
   done fine -- and we will do fine, if the Republicans don't   
   keep us from paying off our debts.   
      
   If you want to wreck the US, by all means vote Republican.   
   Their grand strategy is to smash things so that they can   
   reassemble the pieces in a more pleasing shape. This   
   becomes more and more obvious every day, as they   
   embrace their inner wacko birds.   
      
   I can't guarantee that Democrats won't wreck it, but at   
   least they're trying to fix things.   
      
   And if you want your vote to be worthless, vote some   
   other way. I don't like it, but there it is.
