FIREBIRD: It’s a song for our very own New Depression–”Buddy, Can You Spare 58 Trillion Dimes?”
LOL…. wonder how much 58.6 trillion dimes would weigh!
The national DEBT would weigh 84,834,550,000 pounds in dimes…. Obama’s share of that is 28,278,183,333.3 pounds of dimes
FIREBIRD: Maybe if we required our President, whoever he or she may be, to carry the equivalent weight of our national debt (in dimes) around his or her neck, we’d get somewhere. Or, to be fair, maybe we could apportion it among the President and all the current members of Congress.
Maybe we could stop this conversation on a dime.
Truth bothers you?
Done.
Just trying to make a pun. By all means , please continue the pursuit of truth.
The truth is – Obama is a spendaholic and a narcissist who wants nothing more than the love and adoration of his followers – he get THAT by giving away goodies purchased with the hard-earned dollars of working stiffs. He has no idea how to govern, how the economy works, or how to deal with the world. He’s is now, and always will be a community organizer who can only rise to the top of the heap by destroying and demagoguing his opponents. I honestly believe the man is mentally ill. But he is the man of the times – the times when the American electorate is ignorant of history (and largely ignorant of EVERYTHING), ill-educated in everything except personal greed, and content to live on government largesse rather than to take responsibility for themselves and try to improve their lives. If this country survives this president, he will go down in history as an anomaly – an historical blip that was the culmination of the very worst in every American.
I hope our national crash comes soon. Buy bullets and canned goods.
FIREBIRD: Given your assessment of the “American electorate,” I don’t think we can expect any improvement. To quote John Derbyshire (something I rarely do), “We’re Doomed”. We’ll continue, alas, to get the leaders we deserve. To your more specific points: is “spendaholic” an actual DSM diagnosis and thus part of the president’s mental illness? Is mental illness grounds for impeachment? And how ought I to reconcile criticisms like yours that dismiss Obama as inept, insane, and completely out of his depths with other criticisms I’ve read that claim he is cunning, ruthless, and calculatingly in control of an Alinskyite master plan for world domination? I’m not saying that all those things are mutually exclusive, but it seems that they would exist uneasily and in considerable tension within one person. (Also, I’d recommend adding a can opener to your survivalist provisions, because it would just be wasteful of bullets to have to shoot the cans open.)
The most likely way in which the books will be balanced will be the emergence of national policy built upon an unctuously loving meme about how 75 million or so Grammys and Grampys “never would have wanted all that excessive medical care anyway”, excessive ultimately to be defined by how much it will take exactly to bring the dimes back into alignment. And, after all, wasn’t it those self-indulgent Baby Boomer Grammys and Grampys who got us into this mess in the first place?
The bonus of this loving demographic cost-containment policy will be, alongside the mineralization of Grammy and Grampy back into the ecology, the parallel accelerated mineralization of Grammy’s and Grampy’s assets back into the economy where they can be put to better use by those doing the loving.

H.M.: Sounds like a plan to me. As you say, it’s really what Grammy and Grampy, back before they went all senile, would have wanted. (Hey, wait: I’m a grampy myself! Just when do you think this “mineralization” is going to begin?)
