Fall of the Titan

“He that dies pays all debts”

If I had to summarize the fall of the United States in over a thousand words it would be in a picture much like the one below.

The thing that certainly sticks out for me like a red thumb, and I'm sure for you as well, in the picture above is the "Obama Tripled Deficit in 2009 and 2010".

Now dwell upon that for a moment a country almost ~13 billion in debt at the time and all the american people can think of is "was either Republicans or Democrats who were responsible." Not: hallelujah lets fucking raise taxes, maybe even ending a few wars here and there, revamping Social Security, maybe cut a few of this and a little of that or perhaps my favorite and I'm sure it is Ants as well, to cut spending as a whole.

But, let us be Americans here for a moment who here or any one in America for that matter really cared about the US debt before this month, honestly.What did we as a nation care about as a whole in care about in 2008, 2009 or 2010? Well , in 2010 it was the year of h1n1, gay marriage,50% BPs gasoline would contain salt water, Greece down grade version 1, wiki leaks, miners falling in a hole and the final nail in the coffin health care plus my personal favorite Snookie showing her cooter to all. But, not once was the US debt brought in to question on a scale such as we see today.

Actually I lied. It was brought up...sorry. This happened during the 2010 elections and then silenced until July 2011.

"YOU ARE SO FAR OFF POINT FROM OPENING SENTENCE" I'm certain many of you are saying that, but truth is no one couldn't be further on point. Every single thing listed that happened in 2010 was center of debate for that time period and in that debate contained no solution, but rather a red text chart suggesting it was party in power fault

That my friends is the problem in America. No, one gives a fuck till "shit hits the fan" then all of a sudden all these experts come out of the wood work claiming they know who is to blame. Why oh why is it always who there is to blame and never a solution. For those of you who do give solutions props to you.

Also, just that there is one thing I can't seem to wrap my head around. How do the American people get so flippy floppy. One day a Democrat says they want this..the next 10 minutes a Republican says Americans want this!
Make. Up. Your. Fucking. Mind. America. It. Is. Not. Hard. Do. You. Have PMs. Please. Do. Not. Be. That. Douche. That. Can't. Decide. At. Tacobell. Drive. Though. If. She. Wants. Taco. SoftShell. Or. Hardshell.

In all honestly Elected Officials please stop saying you know what the American people want. Half of us do not even know why the US debt is important. 80% of us will not be able to explain what treasuries or default swaps on debt are, what a commercial paper market(toilet paper?), derivatives -- the thing Wall Street uses to fuck over main street? Even how many Representative there are.

See,this is why we elected you; to do what you believe is best for us(in context of states/districts). Do you fucking job. Great the other party fucked something up, what will you do to fix? You can't agree with an opposition party member, learn to compromise. Many of you went through that shit US Public school system like the rest of us...did they not teach diversity is in the 60s/70s/80s? Oh...maybe they didn't perhaps they taught real classes like math/sci/phy/bio/english/chem where you learn something real... you know back when The United States were number one in education? But, I digress; do you job you fucking idiots.
