palin plans premiere does she have presidency in mind that might be what's on Americas mind? In a move certain to feed speculation about her political plans limit feedback and Sarah palin will visit Iowa on Tuesday to attend the premiere of a movie about her career the name of the movie is the undefeated and when it's all said and done one supporter said the game is on so it sounds like some speculation on the fact that something is likely going to happen what is really going on and on another note the country is divided on the debt limit is not raise limit the polls show most oppose raising limit but it could send us back into a renewed recession debt poll 41%oppose 53% expect a major economic crisis if the limit is not raised so there are lots of Americans out there who think that we might be in trouble if they don't lift it facing an august deadline for raising the country's borrowing limit or setting loose the consequences politicians and economists are plenty alarmed so we as Americans do have alot to worry about and how we are going to get thru this what are we going to do about it or can we do anything? .So in your own words can you explain what your take on the situation might be? We might be getting to the point to where we don't wanna hear any more

11 months ago: As far as Palin is concerned, don't worry she won't run. Her highly touted bus tour which some thought would presage a declaration that she would run, was very disorganized and counterproductive. Generally bus tours are to generate publicity, but she refused to tell anyone where she was going. Then in the middle of the tour she got bored and just ended it much like she bailed on that governing thingy.

As far as the extension of the debt limit you are justified in worrying. The Republicans have declared that their number one priority is not jobs, or the economy or balancing the budget. Their number one priority is getting rid of Obama, and they are willing to destroy America and it's economy and drag the entire world into a major depression, because they figure that if the economy is bad people won't vote for Obama - even if Obama is trying to fix the economy and the Republicans trying to blow it up. People don't rely much on rationality, facts or logic. They just get angry and always blame the current president.

Every policy advocated by the Republicans would cost jobs and slow down the economy. Every policy advocated by Obama and the rest of the Democrats is aimed at creating jobs and improving the economy.

When the economy slows down the debt increases because there are less people paying taxes to pay off the debt. When the economy improves the debt shrinks, because there are more people paying taxes and less dependent on the safety net.

So the Republicans are working to take jobs away, while also taking away any social services to help the poor and middle class, they are also working to slow down the economy and thus they are working to increase the debt.

BUt Cheney said that Reagan proved that deficits don't matter, so they created 2/3rds of the National Debt, by putting two wars and huge tax cuts for the rich on the credit card. They used terrorist tactics to get those tax cuts extended by threatening to cut off all unemployment if the rich millionaires didn't get their $200,000 gifts. This accounts for half of Obama's deficit.

Now they are threatening to default on the payments for purchases that they have made.

These guys are deadbeats, thugs and terrorists, and their huge propaganda machine has convinced millions of dupes to support giving millions to the billionaires and corporations, not realizing that this means that their own taxes fees, will be increased and the services that they depend on be reduced in response to their foolish decisions.
