"In the long run we can't continue to spend as if deficits don't have consequences, as if waste doesn't matter, as if the hard earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like monopoly money, that's what we've seen time and time again, Washington has become more concerned about the next election than the next generation."

Yea... there is a monopoly on the money, so....

Obviously speaking to something he does not believe and probably for the purpose of needing a soundbite his supporters can use to stifle desent on this subject.

Prove it Obama.

I think all this is a euphemism for "we all got ours and you little guys can shove it"

Obama sure sounds like he wants to be the banker:

THE BANK… Besides the Bank’s money, the Bank holds the Title Deed
cards and houses and hotels prior to purchase and use by the players.
The Bank pays salaries and bonuses. It sells and auctions properties
and hands out their proper Title Deed cards; it sells houses and hotels
to the players and loans money when required on mortgages.
The Bank collects all taxes, fines, loans and interest, and the price of
all properties which it sells and auctions.
The Bank never “goes broke.” If the Bank runs out of money, the
Banker may issue as much more as may be needed by writing on any
ordinary paper.

I wonder if we can export irony....

[andrewh817]

The government is printing monopoly money and giving it to foreign banks as we speak.....

Obama makes another funny.

How two faced can this man get? Haha, tax dollar as "monopoly money", when he's running the deficit to extraordinary levels. You gotta be kidding me.
