That equals an increase in the national debt of about 2trillion dollars
per year. With the obama plan for the economy the national debt will be
greater that the gross national product and we will all live like the
third world countries whose leaders obama idolizes.

If you do not have a job now forget it.

It's already a third world country. The only difference is it will
soon be a third world country where even the poor don't have to die
because they cannot afford to see a doctor.
