Perspective.
Here's some perspective for all you arguing about this, as I sit in my office eating my lunch I am looking at our sales projection, cash flow projection, and my inventory reports for the month. And to put it bluntly looking at them really makes me consider a prescription for antidepressants. I thought this was the time of year to be merry and jolly……..oh well time to go and try and sell something to pay the employees so they can give their families a Christmas.
He bailed out the banks, banks make it harder to get home financing. Sales suck…. Check
Creates a health care bill that doesn’t do squat costing business’s and employee’s billions. Check
Reduced road and infrastructure funding bankrupting cities, counties and states. Check
States raise tax on fuel as well as other taxes to try and cover lost revenue. Check
Utilities raise prices to try to cover costs of improvements from loss of gov subsidies. Check
But never mind all that stuff, he’s going to change things and make things better for everyone. Speaking of change, anyone have a $1.50 that I can borrow? I would really like to buy a soda to drink with my lunch.

While I couldn't possibly have voted for all those people, I do agree with Leahy...
...Several Democrats also voted against both bills, decrying the attempts to tamper with the Constitution over budgetary matters.
“I have never seen the solemn duty of protecting the Constitution treated in such a cavalier manner as it is today,” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). “I wish those who so often say they revere the Constitution would show it the respect it deserves rather than treating it like a blog entry.”...

I don't think they should be allowed to attach bills to other, unrelated bills. Every bill should stand on it's own merit and be voted on.

I guess I do not understand your definition of demagoguery.
He voted against both bills and succinctly explained why in a sentence or two.
He voted as I would have or as I wish my senator would have.

Read exactly what I write.
You added a plural to it to make it seem like more was wrong with it aside from NPV is the only thought I posted, nothing else.
Add a positive and negative and a positive number.
The summation of the 3 numbers is positive.
That is a true statement.
It is also true to say the the last number is a positive number, but that does not make the 1st statement incorrect.
You are right, that is a convoluted explanation....
....<snip>...Your premise is your grandfather bought a house financed it, paid it off and owned it outright, ...if only for a year (1835).
Then your dad got it, refinanced it never paid it off.
Then you got it, also financed and never paid it off.
Now you have pictures on the mantle of all the men who have never owned the house outright, including a picture of your grandfather.
(Your grandfather would say, not so fast SSCULLY.)...<snip>...

Something not quite right with your analogy, as I take it that my grandfather is the same as Jackson, but from the end of this quote, I take it you feel My Grandfather's picture should not be on the wall ??
If this is the case, you are making an analogy that Jackson should also be excluded with the 1st 6 POTUSs.
My opinion is you didn't want to show that, but the analogy is making that point.....
OK, forget talking in 3 fiscal years, and get into family owned property...
My great-grandfather takes out a loan for 5K to buy 15 acres of land and build a house on it. In the following 5 years, he adds $ 1K each year to the mortgage ( to try to show the 1st 6 POTUS ) for a total of 10K in loans on the 15 acres and house.
My Grandfather inherits the family property and the mortgage of 10K.
He adds another 2K to the loan, totaling 12K.
In 1835 he sells 5 acres on the west side of the property to pay off the 12K mortgage.
Great, free and clear property and house, although it is for less land than he inherited. It is not like he did something great to do away with the mortgage, he had to sell part of it off.
In 1836 he gets a new mortgage for 2K on the property.
He adds to the loan another 2K to make a total of $ 4K on the mortgage.
My dad inherits the family property and mortgage of $4K and over the next years add another $ 20K in loans to the property, totaling 24K in loans ( the Ronnie years for you ).
I inherit it from dad along with the mortgage of 24K, and I add another 30K to the loan to paint the place bright green ( to be Geo W for you to follow ).
At this point there is a mortgage of 54K on the family property that is 1/3rd smaller than when it started out way back when.
Is it not true to say the family property of 10 acres, house and what ever else was built on it, has a total mortgage of 54K on it ?
Yes that was so much easier than 3 FYs listed with a summation.
....<snip>...I thought damiansalmond was asking a legitimate question and if I simply pointed out that Washingtons pic shouldn't be there and instead it should be Jacksons, (as he did leave Office with debt), then daniansalmonds curiosity may have been peaked on the subject, if he so desired.
He then might discover other consideration s, such as one could just slide a Clinton pic overtop the Bush pic, then slide the Bush overtop the the Obama pic and it's still factually accurate ...you know, simple stuff like that....<snip>...

Then again if it was Alligators to dolphins on the left to a zebra on the right, it would show something else.....
-> Not what the picture that was posted shows.
This as example of the JEPG being incorrect in addition to the NPV item is not this JEPG is wrong.
Want something to point out as other than NPV being wrong, do some fct checking
Actual for FY 2009, 2010 and the estimated 2011 ( not done counting where all the money went ) totals $4.3 T from the debt history spread sheet on the White house site.
From Washington ( Or Jackson if you can't deal with the summation of 6 numbers to be zero ) to GW Bush is 5.3T from the same spread sheet.
So by the White house documents, and only related to budgeted items ( not Turbo Tax Timmy spending money or the fed buying our own bonds with money from ??? ) the left is 5.3 T for 1836 to 2008 FY and FY 2009 to FY2011 is 4.3T.
Feel better, Obama spent 19% less in 3 years than all other POTUSs did in 172 years. These are real ( aside form the final count not being audited on FY 2011 ) numbers, not some number of 12 year out, and not including Turbo Timmy.
This way nothing would ever pass ( due to not buying votes with favors ) and nothing would ever get spent.
I guess you do not see it in that light but, I do and consider it an insult.
I'm surprised you address my other considerations yet continue to claim I have but one.
Chief among them is that you acknowledge that the pics are interchangeble with the prior administration ("...90% sure").
I would consider that key evidence 'consideration' of the strength of the jpegs unique claim. You knew it and I knew it but, damiansalmond obviously didn't know it, nor did Frank or the rest of the Great Unwashed.
Including Obama out years, which you acknowledged, is another consideration.
Assuming prior debt and the interest thereon, yet another consideration.
As to Grandfather/Mortgage exercise, I was just trying to pay you back in kind, for making my eyes twirl in opposite directions with your winded post.
So this all began when I mentioned Jackson at one time paid off the National Debt, a small factoid in History.
I never wanted to type so much on this and yet have been reluctantly drug into it.
I do not blame you, I've read your other threads and you just can't help it.
I blame the OP, an embittered Redskin fan whose true Perspective is spelled 'mathmatical elimination'.

I am the one that did the fact checking for you, as you would not / could not do it for yourself.
I am not one to lie about something, if the facts show an error, I will shine the light on it, regardless of which side of the aisle it falls on.
Sorry but the fact is, you had only one issue ( NPV ) and when it comes down to it, I supplied that for you as well. Guess it had considerations but you could not articulate them....
I don't know what to say about that......
I could follow the error in your analogy, so it was not a case of "eyes twirl in opposite directions" for me.
Seemed easy enough to find the error and correct it, again to me.
I guess the same can be said of you.
Anything GOP, and you have to to discount it.
Does not matter if you come prepared with facts or supposition and speculation, any of the above are good enough for your posts.
Yes there is more than one issue with the JEPG, if you change it so it is not the same, then....

Yep, that is another problem you have with the JEPG aside from NPV, it shows a Democrat in a bad light, and that in itself is a problem for you.
Guess I hit a nerve pointing out I had to be the one to supply all your facts for you after you entered the debate.
Conceited ? Maybe.
Factual ? Yes.
Typical.
If you can't make a point with supposition and speculation, you resort to this.
This seems to be the corner stone of any political debate with you.
Thank you for your time, have a good evening.
