Q: Republicationists run ever thing for six years, run us into two wars, run up an $11 trillion tab and say "ain't no thing," and then when we the people decide we've had enough, they blame poor people for putting us in this mess?
A: It would be helpful if you would frame the question in a less rhetorical form.
Q: Just like Somalia, right? Geo Sr. throws a bunch of "peacekeeper" "nation-building" troops in Somalia, like -- here ya go, Bill, best of luck with all that, keep in touch...And then Geo. Jr. -- turd in the punchbowl, "here's $700 billion we didn't have to go burn $100 bills." Then they turn around and say that Democrat earmarked money going to some some rare rodent research could've paved your driveway and that paver would bought groceries at your Aunt Sadie's corner store but instead it'll go to fatten the pockets of the bureaucrats in Washington who don't do a gol durn thing. But where do they think money comes from? Did you know Luxembourg owns 2 percent of the national debt? Do you think that's a small amount, because when you consider Luxembourg's got less than half a million people, together they own a fair piece of like Iowa or probably all of New Hampshire that the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg can say, call it in, hey -- America! Give me 2 percent of 11 trillion, eh, round it down, give me Philadelphia and Pittsburg, you can keep State College, and Atlanta, Georgia, and we'll call it even?
A: Yes, it's just like that.
Further research shows that foreign-owned Treasuries represent one-fourth of the $11 trillion national debt (loosely considered), so Luxembourg (just under 1,000 square miles with the population of Kansas City, Missouri) only owns about $55 billion of your ass.
