Hugh Jidette is running for President... you must see this

[Cleaner44]

Hugh Jidette is running for President on a platform of lowering taxes while increasing spending. How? One word. Debt. Sure, we’re saddling future generations with it, but what have future generations ever done for us?

"I don’t see $13 trillion in debt. I see 130 billion glorious portraits of Ben Franklin! Come on, RT for good old Ben!"

Reduce our tax rates. Not just to zero, but to negative 100%! We'd all double our money overnight!

Why is $13 trillion in debt a problem? If we just borrow another $13 trillion we can pay it all back! Its simple math people!

Money is made of paper. So yes, it DOES grow on trees! Yay trees!

By golly, if we can put a man on the moon, then surely we can build a unicorn! And if we can have a man golf on the moon, then surely we can have a unicorn golf on the moon too!

Bingo! Print up a few dozen trillion-dollar bills, pay off the debt, and have trillions left over! Hmmmm... whose face should we put on the trillion dollar bill?

Mmmm... I love the smell of debt in the morning!

$13 Trillion... Its not just the debt, its also enough money to buy nearly 800 billion puppies. You don't hate puppies... do you?

I firmly believe we should not leave our debt to our children. We should leave it to our great-great-great grandchildren!

Some people look at our nearly $14 trillion dollar debt and say "Why?" I dream of the $14 zillion debt we might have, and say "Why not?"

Massive tax cuts? Oh yes. Massive new spending? Oh yes! Ponies for everyone? OWE YES!

People we need ideas! What would YOU do with $13 trillion dollars? Come on, if we're going to double or triple our debt, we need to know how to spend it! Ideas?

Bake sale to pay off the debt! Anyone got 7 trillion muffins?

Filming more campaign ads. Must raise $200 million for Avatar technology- I would look awesome as a 15 foot tall blue alien!

Brainstorm! Change our money to the metric system. Tell the world we now owe $13 trillion divided by 2.2. Money saved! Who wants pie?

The national debt is closing in on $14 trillon. That makes us the number one debtor in the world. USA! Number one!

If we can dream it, then surely we can put it on our credit card.

Pork in the budget? Fine by me. If the noble porkupine chooses to give us meat, I say, take it!

Way behind on payments for the campaign jet. But hey, what are the creditors going to do? I mean, we can FLY away from them!

$13+ trillon in debt? What's the big deal? Can't we just print up another $14 trillion dollar bills?

My God, if you want a pony, you shall have a pony! 300 million ponies if I am president!

Future generations will have no problem paying off the debt as long as we all have 19 kids. See? Plenty of people to pay it off. Problem solved. Who wants pie?

Spending like drunken sailors is the only thing we've got bipartisan agreement on, so why fight it?

If we can go to the moon, why can't we set up a printing press on the moon to print more money?

Fiscal discipline? Pah! Just print more money! We worked hard to buy those printing presses, make cool pictures, and enlarge Ben Franklin's head. Let's use them!

Million, billion, trillion. What comes next? No one knows. But if we keep growing our debt, we'll hit 999 trillion- and learn together! And knowledge is good!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." - Thomas Jefferson

Don't forget, boys and girls, you have a huge debt you'll need to pay ... higher taxes, global solutions to world problems ... sacrifice.

Don't even consider solutions like the gold standard or repudiation because that is ancient and dishonest.
