You're the angry one, I'm hopeful and optimistic we can turn this thing around. You don't like that direction, you smell it about to happen, so you rail.

Again since you're obviously simple...growth of 1.7% a quarter when there's savage austerity, universal healthcare, a massive social security net and 3 years till we have a balanced budget...
America has ever mounting debt, no deficit reduction plan, very little in the way of the services we have and an ineffectual Government that cannot decide what road to take.
I'm not throwing stones nor criticising your country, just it needs to get its shit together soon or else:
1: Another ratings drop
2: Another debt ceiling increase
And
3: An even weaker dollar.
That's not "throwing stones" that's calling it how it is man.

We could pay our debts off in 15-20 years, how long would it take you guys? Who's borrowing trillions of dollars a year to run a system with no free healthcare, (no offense) below par school system and a weak-sauce social security system?
Who will have a balanced budget in 3 years?
How the fuck are we more in debt that you are? We both have debt levels of roughly the same, stop ignoring the actual numbers and talking shite instead. Our bond interest rates have halved in a year dick-lips, the markets think we're not doing enough?
You've clearly no clue about the vaguest principles of economics.
Try respond to my post next time instead of trying to insult my country with insults that are basically worthless, ok?

A leading credit-ratings agency demoted Ireland's bonds to junk status Tuesday, signaling that plans to get private-sector investors to share in the burden of Greece's debt problems could have ramifications for other indebted euro-zone economies.
Moody's Investors Service announced toward the end of U.S. trading that it was cutting Ireland's debt rating by one notch to Ba1, from Baa3, its lowest investment-grade level. It is the first of the major ratings services to downgrade the country's debt to junk levels.

Did you even read your own C/P? Or do you just not understand it?
It's the other seriously fucked Eurozone countries that are dragging us down.
But again, I guess it's either a reading comprehension problem or your just a dumb-dumb.
Ok so here's the question, do you think the US can survive in a cycle of perpetual debt? Cos thats currently where you are.
What are you's gonna do? Higher the debt ceiling again? You're living in a fantasy world, your country NEEDS TO GET ITS FINANCES IN ORDER.

Irish is a Race?
Have you realized that the CBO projections have NEVER been correct? Usually they are so far off the mark that trained monkeys that throw shit have been shown to have better and more accurate numbers.
Somehow duke thinks he is making fun of Irish people by using Mc to preface some words, but in actuality I think most people just figure he flips burgers at McDonalds and that is how he talks.

Yeah I told him Mc was generally a preface to Scottish names, rarely Irish, but I don't think he can really read very well.

Kind of like how Rosie O' Donnell thinks all asians only know two words, ching and chong. She's also a big fat liberal with a loud mouth.

i used to work at mcdonalds when i was a young 17 year old stoner. one day on my evening break i went over to a friend's house and got super baked. the rest of the shift dragged so badly and i just wanted to eat every single piece of food that came off the line, it was pure torture.
anyhoo, it is about 2 minutes from closing and a customer puts in a huge order at the drive through but leaves since it took so long to make it. the manager was very pedantic and followed every single protocol there was, which entailed throwing away the food that i was dreaming of eating. so he throws it away and goes somewhere in the back as part of closing duties.
there i stood, 17 years old, stoned off my gourd, staring at $15 worth of delicious munchies sitting on the top of the trash can. i had a decision to make. i made up my mind, i was going to take the food. i took the food, walked out, drove to the other end of the parking lot, and ate the food with stoner passion while i watched my manager walk around the store looking for me.
best mcdonalds meal i ever had.

CBO has historically been within 1.3% for accuracy on Forecasts
[SIZE=-1]http://www.cbo.gov/doc.cfm?index=1486&type=0[/SIZE]
Here is another Anazlysis of CBO projections
http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/68xx/doc6812/10-25-EconomicForecastingRecord.pdf
yep, over the 2 year period of 1996 and 1997, the predictions they made were pretty damned good. Too bad that most of their large predictions are way off, like saying estimated growth for last year would be 3.6%, but it was actually -2%, which they would then say was a small 5% error. But that 5% error is actually a $750 BILLION mistake.
When CBO makes mistakes , they are usually HUGE.
CBO projects Social Security will be completely wiped out by 2018.
