Obama Budget Doubles Down on Populist Proposals

TRANSLATION —- 1) more failed stimulus! — 2) ANOTHER $1T deficit figure! — 3) Another lie about “we will cut spending IF you raise taxes”…. this lie has worked twice before, why shouldn’t the Democrtats try it again!?!?! —- Reagan was pressured to raise taxes from the media and the Democrats. So in 1982, Reagan struck a deal with the Democrats to raise business and excise taxes in exchange for $280 billion in spending cuts over six years. As Reagan wrote in his diary at the time: “The tax increase is the price we have to pay to get the budget cuts.” But, of course, the Democrats were lying. Instead of cutting $280 billion, they spent an additional $450 billion — only $140 billion of which went to the Reagan defense buildup that ended the Evil Empire. Meanwhile, Reagan’s tax cuts brought in an extra $375 billion in government revenue in the next six years. His tax cuts funded the entire $140 billion defense buildup, with $235 billion left over. You will notice it is the same culprits pushing for tax hikes today!! —– Unable to learn from the first kick of a mule, President George H.W. Bush made the exact same deal with Democrats just a few years later. Pretending to care about the deficit — created exclusively by their own profligate spending ——- Do we believe them a THIRD TIME??? — I think not!!!!

Of course it is our official position that the burden of deficit reduction should fall squarely on the shoulders of working class Americans, whether they are fully employed or not. Protecting the Bush era tax cuts, especially for our distinguished colleagues like Mitt Romney, will continue to be our top priority.

tmferretti | February 13, 2012, 10:19 am ——— NO GOP proposals… really?? —- The GOP-led House passed “Cut, Cap, and Balance”… the ONLY plan to pass either chamber of Congress that exceeded the S&P threshold to avoid the credit downgrade!! —- Too bad the Dems rejected it… and too bad they did not come up with a plan of their own that met the S&P threshold…. and the US credit was downgraded for the first time in history!! ———– If your spouse was spending and spending even though all your credit cards were maxed out, it would be your DUTY to be the “sane” person in the family and cut them off!! —- Well, the GOP is the only sane (most of them anyhow) person in DC that is saying “CUT SPENDING”… WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF BANKRUPTCY!!!!

“His budget for next year is more of the same,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said. “It’s full of more spending and more tax increases that have put this country deeper into debt.”

Tax increases have put this country deeper in debt? Someone needs to give this moron a basic math book. The Bush tax cuts have cost this nation well over a trillion dollars in lost tax revenue. Republicans are fighting to keep the tax cuts for the wealthy while they have no problem threatening to increase taxes on the poor and the middle class. Republicans are idiots, and what’s worse, they think the rest of the country is as stupid as they are.

We need to vote the GOP back in office to STOP the path the Democrats have us tumbling down!! —- On January 3rd 2007, the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. —- For those listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this… January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%….. The Unemployment rate was 4.6%…. Jobs had been created (no down months) for 52 straight months…. January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. ——- The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? —- BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!!!!!!

Barack Obama is the most dangerous man ever to occupy the White House. He is the greatest threat America has ever faced because he is the first traitor to occupy the White House. Every word Obama utters, every breath that passes through his lips, every beat of his heart is dedicated to destroying America, its constitution, traditions, history, economy and future. Barack Obama is the farm-raised stooge of the Marxist cabal that has groomed him, trained him, engineered his election and runs his administration.

Every day Obama sits in the oval office is a criminal assault on every man, woman and child in America. Every member of Obama’s staff, every judge and department head he has appointed, every person who works for his re-election and contributes funds and resources to it, all these people are co-conspirators to Obama’s acts of treason.

The riots in Greece are America’s future. Obama is planning this and needs this to execute his final assassination of America…by creating chaos and violence and fear in the streets of America so that he can declare a State of Emergency and put all Americans under Martial Law.

This is your future under Obama and it is your responsibility to stop it.

THELOYALOPPOSITION

Just as I said. Cut, Cap and Balance is a smoke screen to “do nothing”. From the founding, this country has never had balanced budget. The deficit and debt should be reduced when we are in good economic times, not now. Spending is the only thing that’s going to get us out of this republican mess.

“Tax increases have put this country deeper in debt? Someone needs to give this moron a basic math book.”

Maybe you can swap yours for that Econ 101 book you clearly don’t have.

Bread and Games, Bread and Games.

tmferretti | February 13, 2012, 10:44 am —— We will NEVER be in “good economic times” again unless we boot the Democrats out of the Senate and White House….. Lets Review Obama and the Dem’s record the last 3 years!! —- First US credit downgrade… Spending as % of GDP highest since WWII… Budget deficit as % of GDP highest since WWII… Federal debt as % of GDP highest since WWII… employment as % of population lowest since 1983… slowest jobs growth 26 mo after a severe recession since WWII… % of taxpayers paying income tax (49%) lowest in modern times… government dependency (47% recieiving one or more fed benefit payments) highest in American history!!! —- And NOW Obama runs “against congress” because he has no other option… he can’t run on his dismal record!!!

More smoke and mirrors from this America hating “president”.

Life is a giant game of musical chairs, For the boomers, there were 100 million chairs, and 150 million people looking for a seat, now their are a 1.5 billion chairs and 7 billion looking for a seat. Many people will be left standing, now that the size of the game has increased even more people will be left standing, and for the first time since WW2, many of those people left standing will be Americans. How much does America want to win, what are we willing to do to win, and ensure it is Chinese and Indians are left standing without a chair and not Americans. The only way to do it is to replicate the conditions of the Post War period, and that means destroying the competing industrial capacity, and reducing the global labor force. The question I have to ask is any presidential candidate willing to do that.

OB, you and my wife have the same spending theory. She says the more stuff you buy on sale the more you save. Now, you have added a new twist to give her more ammo. Ending the 2 wars by not budgeting money will save money? Now, she is going to tell me that she had planned to spend an extra $500 but did not because she wants our savings to increase. Darn, I called my banker and told him to increase my savings account by $10,000 due to the fact I decided not to spend the money I never budgeted and would not spend anyway. He did not understand. I told him to listen to OB and if it is good enough for OB it’s good enough for me. Can you believe people are this gullible? Yes, at least 50% in this country are this gullible.

The truble with republicans is they want power and money. The middle class people and President Obama want a dream full filled again the way it was 20 years ago. The republicans want 70Ft. ships and 400 room homes and to tell the people to clean them for 50 cents a hour. Grow up republicans this not going to happen because the majority of the people and tthe President Barak Obama will not let it happen.

$8 Billion dollar job training proposal already exists, it’s called college. Deficit spending is like Obama, an oxymoron. And has anyone looked at Obama’s tax forms online? Law does not require someone to take every tax break that they are entitled to. The Obamas took every tax break and even fully funded their 401K. How can he be against these things while he partakes in them? It’s called hypocrisy.

Tax breaks do not boost the economy. We have tried this for 3 decades, and the results are available to analyze: the rich got richer. I am dismayed at all the GOP fans on here talking up supply-side economics, still! It is quackery. It is false. There is no reputable economist who will argue that supply-side economics is a thing that can work to improve a nation’s economic situation. But we have been fed this story our whole lives now, most of us, and so we inexplicably swallow it. The fact is that governments need revenue to make things happen for their constituents. Revenue must include taxation. THAT is “Economics 101,” as all the supply-side sheep like to cheekily say.

Conservatives are mostly about hating / despising what they can’t figure out or understand . Narrow minded and repressed . I’ve never seen a bigger pack of liars either .Some are simply ignorant or misled but most conservatives have a partisan agenda that is based wholly on sophistry and out-right bold faced lies . As a political party they are at least as dangerous to America and it’s future as the Nazis were in pre WW2 Germany ; as citizens they are insipid and pathetic and love a lie , in general . Conservatives , politicians and voters alike , have well-proven themselves to be cretins / evolutionary throwbacks with a hateful spite about them that depresses everything like a black cloud / rainy day . Just ugh .

All this guy does is DEFICIT SPEND, and he’s spending the country into oblivion !!!!!!

…more money to pay off the teacher’ unions for their votes. That is no LIE Obama. I can’t tell who is the pimp and who is the prostitute in the Obama/Teachers’ Union match up.

I wonder if he’ll get any votes this time?

3.8T Federal Budget is 25% of our 15.2 annual GDP!!! That’s insane. Don’t they see what path that takes us down, just look at Europe and the riots in the streets and austerity measures required to shrink gov’t spending and dependence. Obama said he’d cut our annual deficit in half in Jan 2009, the deficit was running at 1.4T/yr, this budget proposal will result in a 1.3T deficit….FAIL, You Lie Mr. President, simple as that. He’s run up debt at historic and record rates, he took the 10T debt and rasied it by 5.3T in 3 years and headed to 6T+ by the end of his 4th year. Folks, Bush raised the debt by 5T in his 8 years! Wake up America geez.

“It calls for $1.3 trillion in deficit spending next year, including $350 billion in spending on jobs programs and $476 billion in infrastructure projects. Obama also wants to boost aid for manufacturing research and development by 19 percent above current levels, to $2.2 billion.” – ABC News

? ? ? ? ?
What is this, failed stimulus #4?

And why does NoBo want to spend money on Manufacturing R&D?
What factories does the federal government operate?
That’s a private sector concern.

stop WITH ALL of the COMPANEING. the president IS DOING the best he CAN. jUST pay YOUR higher TAXES!!!!!!!

A final thought. Mr. Prez, your last budget proposal went down in flames 97-0. You know what’s more embarrassing than that little episode? 100-0. Sorry, your fellow Dems ain’t buying. I know, I know. Even tho you will get no Dem support it will be the Repubs fault.

Posted by: choppy seas

Yep.
The post clearly states Barry is proposing tripe that his own party doesn’t support and the WH has no opinion on whether the Senate should even pass a budget and this whole “budget” is a campaign gimmick for the base.

On the other hand, they seem to be excited for some unintelligible reason.

A good chunk, near half of next years deficit could cut with ending the Bush tax cuts to wealthy; it is time to address the revenue side of this problem. In the crosshairs are defense cuts, a subject close to the hearts of conservatives, and the stake in the heart of their big government rants. Wars are expensive, and Bush did not pay for them, defense programs are expensive and the right spending there can prevent the next war. It is time to take a more realistic approach to this from the right, and the revenue side is the obvious place to start.

Obama might win again — if he can lie well enough, and if the American public is still willing to be duped.

As I said, Clinton was pretty good. But I didn’t mean to imply the same for Obama. Unlike Clinton, he is a fairly dogmatic marxist. And that don’t work.

As an older gay man who gets a governement check, i will be voting for Obama no matter what.

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT LIE —- They say “we will cut spending IF you raise taxes”…. this lie has worked twice before, why shouldn’t the Democrtats try it again!?!?! —- Reagan believed them in 1982… a deal was struck to raise business and excise taxes in exchange for $280 billion in spending cuts over six years!! —- Of course, the Democrats were lying. Instead of cutting $280 billion, they spent an additional $450 billion!! —– Reagan’s tax cuts brought in an extra $375 billion in government revenue in the next six years, but the Democrats never cut spending!! —- Bush (41) made the exact same deal with Democrats just a few years later pretending to care about the deficit, only to renig again!! —- Do we believe them a THIRD TIME??? — I think not!!!!

Posted by: Fernando Arocha | February 13, 2012, 11:59 am 11:59 am—–And all of it could be cut, by not giving money to people who have not earned it, like 3-6 times more money people receive in Medicare and SSI than they paid in, or the people on unemployment, who have no economically viable or competitive skills, or the tax rebates to people above and beyond what they paid in total taxes.

May I expand a bit my previous thoughts that contained and coalesced all that is within our current and recently past purview regarding these roundabout and raucously riling issues? Thanks. Let me expand on that a bit: the concentric metrics of Obama spasms in maledictory attempts at reconciling with wacky weirdsters from the left has resulted in the degenerate deconstruction of the maladies of misty mists afflicting his naughty attempts at radical reelection. He made a mistake, it can be ceremoniously cretinized and rectified by November, with luck and more jock-strap like support from sycophants everywhere. Surely and sanctimoniously, craven charts and gluttoneous graphs surreptitious stats can aid in the visual and experiential experiences of pontificatory propaganda on and surrounding our egregious attempts at marauding and marranging the moronical masses who no not knowingly know which dire direction to praise, plead, or stumblingly stumble, or even truculently trot. Heed my advice and info contained solidly and slippery within, or just be a clear dummy or a prancing poltroon.

Ive noticed and am very happy reps are going to refuse barack again sorry little boy.

The democrats have not passed a budget in over 1000 days, the last time Obama proposed a budget it was defeated in the democrat controlled Senate 0-99..It received NO votes

Forecast now is of 4.50-$5.00 gasoline by the end of May (obamas war on the middle working class)… a possible stock market “correction” of 40-60%..You think the last recession was bad wait till this one hits

once 51% of the nation is on the public dole…
—————————————

Yeah buddy! -just keep on telling over half the nation that they’re bums [and please be sure to emphasize that this is the standard Republican view of things]. It’s going to work out just splendidly for you this election!

OMG! Why does this bozo insist on wasting everyone’s time and MONEY? So one of Obama’s many empty campaign promises was about cutting the deficit in half by the end of four years. It’s obvious to every thinking, sane person that Obama has the spending title in hand. Yet no one on the Democrat side can say he didn’t keep his promise. We’ll he didn’t break his promise he just didn’t do what he said he was going to do….and he’s why. BUSH! Doesn’t it get old for even the most rabid leftys in this country to have a president who won’t take ownership of his failings? He could walk away with reelection if he spoke honestly to the American people. He’s always campaigning. He’s spending trillions to secure votes from the people who will vote for him anyway. We know certain segments of our population will always vote for him, no matter what his policies are doing to this country. The president agrees that the drivers of our debt are the entitlements. Where’s all the reform? He had both Houses of Congress his first two years. He could have gotten reforms IF he had wanted reforms. We know he doesn’t because the people who benefit most from handouts are the people who vote Democrat. Duh. Time to start thinking about the long-term well being of this country. It’s not hard to see the financial catastrophe coming. Is it?

For those who are donning ‘OBAMA BUMPER STICKERS’ just remember that the Golden Goose can be killed! If this job killer is reelected, there will be LITTLE (IF ANY) investment by the private sector, and especially small businesses! WHY YOU ASK? BECAUSE THEY WILL BE UNABLE TO AFFORD IT.

Watch for a migration from the US to places like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Panama, and to a lesser degree, Mexico.

If you vote for Obama for him to ‘TAKE CARE OF YOU’, make sure that he is in the process of developing OBAMA LTD, and that he is as good MAKING MONEY, as he is spending the resources of others!

Snewsome it continues to amaze me that you refuse to admit we have boatloads of corporate and wealthy people welfare going down in this country. Those are the ones doing the most damage. Not some family of 4 earning 20K a year.

Hey S – Drilling is UP. The green loans were started by Bush. Presidents don’t set gas prices and you guys said this not 3.5 years ago as you change the story now. Though I hear if you allow this Keystone pollution pipeline you can expect your gas to go up. As you help Canada sell more on that international market.

Don’t get discouraged folks….these names aren’t registered or anything. just stick to your message.They have to stoop to subterfuge because their candidates don’t really have anything to run on.

Very sorry to see that my good friend, LL, clearly needs an intervention.

Well, yes, LexingtonLady, probably the US military should be defunded and dismantled. But I just hope we don’t get attacked after that.

It seems that LexingtonLady’s definition of a good “comment link ” is one that is basically a libster circle jerk. Typical attitude, actually.

What do you know about work? You’re part of the problem.

“The libs should have never started this phony posting schtick .”—————–Actually I spoke on the phone at length with one of the editors @ ABC news last week about the person(s) making fake posts on this website . They used my online name which just happens to be my real name as well . She told me that the FCC had been contacted and they were waiting for a reply and she apologized for the inconvenience . She did say that ABC has all the IP addresses of everyone who posts . They know there is a problem , they know who is doing it and they are certainly doing something about it from what she told me . Good things come to those who wait . Be patient .

Its going to so damn funny to see the look on Obama’s face when he gets kicked out of office!
He should be asked to pay for all his luxury vacations he took around the world!
He should just start packing his things now and make it easy on himself!

“She’s never “paddled” anyone other than herself. Pretend harder”

Sure,,,that’s why you can’t sit down.

Lennie you say that as if Obama’s tax the wealthy rhetoric means anything different than taxing the middle class to death. For as we have seen Obama’s rich buddies like BUffet (who owes millions for years and refuses to pay it), General Electric (who pay virtually no taxes on their millions) Geitner (who refuses to pay taxes) Kerry ( who will not pay his boat taxes) and so many others, claiming to raise taxes on just their evil rich (even if you lack the morals to know singling out any one group to be forced to pay everyone else is wrong) is just communist BS talk meaning that they want more of your money so they are going to say the rich will be taxed (even though the laws won’t be applied to them because they buy pol friends like Obama daily so it will be the middle class and honest rich people who don’t buy pols). Are people really so stupid that they believe Obama is going to tax his rich buddies and they haven’t noticed that it is middle and poor classes paying for Obama’s bs?

Google “ObamaCare Architect: Premiums to Soar” for what Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber now believes about Obamacare. How many progressives/Dems will bother reading ?

When the GOP candidates stop ripping each other to shreds and come up with an individual who might actually *qualify* for the role of POTUS, then and only then will I worry. But since that hasn’t happened and conservatives keep running to back the new flavor-of-the-week, I don’t think the sitting president has one little thing to worry about. The general public has been watching in amused horror while the GOP implodes. Everybody knows it’s happening and while it used to be worrisome, it’s all just become a laughable farce.

Staying firmly planted in the middle, I have to ask, what happened to the “crisis” a month or so ago about reducing spending? Any budget that involves incurring MORE debt should be slam-dunked by both parties! And BTW, how many administrations have run without a budget, ever?

“ANYONE can type in ANY name and ANY email address and it will post. “——————-Yes anyone can post anything under any name or email but the unique and easily traceable IP addresses for each separate post shows who is fake and who is not . Thus ABC news and the FCC can easily ascertain where and who the troublemaker(s) is /are . If you’d bother to read the user agreement on this website you’d know that stealing names and posting as another user is illegal under ABC terms of use agreement not to mention most civil courts in the USA as well . As I said before , they know who is doing the name / identity stealing and from what I understand they are doing something about it as well.

DEANBOB

“ObamaCare Architect: Premiums to Soar” The thing Gruber fails to accountant for is the increased competition. He’s right if we maintain the status quo where the insurance companies have a monopoly in most states, they will increase premiums.

We’ve already seen, at my company, new insurance providers coming in and asking our HR department to look at their plans which offer the same coverage at lower costs. We are expecting a decrease in the amount coming out of our checks this year because our old provider has lowered premiums to keep these new companies out.

Once the mandates go into effect these new providers will lower costs even more to get a piece of the middle class market. This is how free market capitalism should work, not the abnormal capitalism the insurance industry practices today.

Btw , it’s against civil law in most places in the USA to claim or assert in any way you are someone else , for any reason .
No jail , but BIG fines.

Most times maybe but in this case it was a privacy / identity theft issue that goes outside of civil bounds , thus the FCC involvement , at least that was what I inferred from our limited conversation .

Just kidding. I know LL is a lame poster. Was just havin’ some fun.

Some librarians just don’t get it. It is SPENDING that needs to be cut, not taxes RAISED. The spending most in need of cutting is the very kind Obama fancies most: political payoffs and corrupt pork.

The Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus should stop talking politics and take a good look at the budget blueprint and make informed comments. This is a balanced budget, given the complex issues that are happening, it is a way forward. It must be done or else this internal bickering will bring the US down and the rest of the world will lose their respect. Is this what Americans want? Americans put these politicians in Congress so now they have to face the music with these dysfunctional handful of people. Is it so hard to understand the concept united we stand, divided we fall???

Why won’t this president even consider presenting a budget that would have the support of his own party? As to Dan posted “This is a balanced budget…” How do people who think $1.3 TRILLION of deficit spending = a balanced budget? I just don’t know how to respond to that classic liberal way of thinking. This is why we should all be very concerned about who wins in November.

Another trillion dollar deficit is not helping save the country in the long term. All the President is doing is putting forth a spending package that will capture the most votes possible. It is sad that the majority of Americans are taking funds from the government to live on. Socialism pure and simple. Wake up America – it is not a free lunch for all.

and how would theloyalopposition explain the tremendous rise in tax revenues within two years following the Bush tax cuts? I know it can make a liberal’s brain explode trying to understand that you can cut taxes and grow revenues. The notion that the extra billions Obama wants to siphon off the hardest working among us will somehow be directed at deficit reduction is laughable. Only a liberal or university student would believe that. More revenues = more wasteful, unlawful spending like Solyndra. Gee, who wouldn’t want to vote for more of that?!!!!! Morons.

ABC – Why didn’t you mention that Obama’s budget continues to grow the (already bloated) Government? HUH, WHY? Instead you use phony terms like “populist”.

Obama just doesn’t get it. WE’RE IN DEBT, and we have to pay all borrowing back, with interest.

What’s really absurd is believing Republicans can lower deficits and debt. All of their plans either increase the debt enormously over the next ten years, or cut taxes so much for corporations and the wealthy that they can never be paid for. it’s one of the biggest jokes in history.

Who here would ever think of allowing Obama to handle your own budget, or that of your family? If you say — “Duh, I would” — then you are obviously and laughably lying, or you should not be allowed to roam free without supervision.

That same do-nothing, Democratically-controlled Senate will be rejecting this budget from Obama, just like last time. Ah, gee. What then? How should that be spun? LMAO!

With Chris Christie, Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee out, all we have in is a bunch of lousy second-stringers. It’s no wonder we’re getting creamed out there.

Well independents have apparently come to the realization that the whole Mitt Romney platform is a shell game, and have wised up nicely, by about -20 points.

The Bush tax cuts did NOT increase revenue. Anyone who believes that doesn’t understand basic economics.

“The new CBO data show that changes in law enacted since January 2001 increased the deficit by $539 billion in 2005″

“George W. Bush’s CEA chair, Greg Mankiw, who used the term “charlatans and cranks” for people who believed that “broad-based income tax cuts would have such large supply-side effects that the tax cuts would raise tax revenue.”

Read It And Weep, sorry but I just laughed at your jabber. What you refer to is nine months away from election-time, and it is less than nothing compared to the many millions of Independents that Obama has lost, who misguidedly voted for him last time, but won’t be doing so again. And, uh Gerry, no, since that didn’t even happen in the spinning way you say. I am referring to Obama’s constant lies and shell game with expenditures and fudged numbers and projections, and his constant stance that more and more failed spending will somehow reduce the deficit. Again — wise up, and get honest.

LOL! …. after both the Reagan Tax Cuts and the Bush Tax Cuts, both of which contributed to those two presidencies leaving the country with “MULTI-TRILLIONS” in debt, I don’t think Republicans are in any position to talk about a “balanced budget”. Their credibility is shot!

The Republican Mantra: “More Tax Cuts” (without cuts in spending) ……….. and that’s what got us in this mess. The two largest increases in the rate of climb of the nation’s debt occurred while Republicans were in office, and after the “Tax Cuts” mantra (Reagan and Bush Tax Cuts) was executed:

Nixon and Ford administrations combined national debt increase = $292 Billion
(Debt Balance when Nixon takes office = $363 Billion…Debt Balance when Ford left office = $655 Billion)

Carter administration national debt increase = $280 Billion
(Debt Balance when Carter takes office = $655 Billion, leaves office = $935 Billion)

Effect of Ronald Reagan and the “Reagan Tax Cuts” (without dealing with cuts in spending):
National debt increase under Reagan = $1.75 Trillion ($1,748 Billions).
Debt Balance when Reagan takes office = $935 Billion; leaves office = $2.683 Trillion ($2,683 Billion)
NOTE: Reagan’s Debt Increase Compared with Carter’s equals +624% more than Carter’s
NOTE: Reagan equals the first U.S. President to have the debt increase “in the 2 trillions” under his one presidency.
Reagan wrote the book for the next two presidents after him to follow… “How to Introduce Tax Cuts, Never Cut Spending, and Run the Government Off of $2 Trillion Dollar Debt”

George H.W. Bush (Bush # 1) administration debt increase = $1.4 Trillion

Clinton administration debt increase = $1.6 Trillion

Effect of George W. Bush (Bush # 2) and the “Bush Tax Cuts” (without dealing with cuts in spending):
National debt increase under Bush # 2 = $4.9 Trillion ($4,900 Billions).
Debt Balance when Bush # 2 takes office = $5.7 Trillion; leaves office = $10.6 Trillion
NOTE: G.W. Bush’s Debt Increase Compared with Clinton’s equals +300% more than Clinton’s
NOTE: G.W. Bush equals the first U.S. President to have the debt increase “in the 5 trillions” under his one presidency.

….. and the Bush Tax Rates continue today….. and Republican candidates for President say we need “MORE TAX CUTS!” …. LOL! America, you don’t pay off your bills by reducing your income. Both Ronald Reagan and G.W. Bush proved that.

please Stop WITH all ofthe COMPLAININNG!!! The PRESIDENT is doing the BEST he can. Just PAY your HIGHER taxes!!!!!

@2HundredThousand
Just stick to your own points, and please stop with un-PC teasing of me just because my “spam” and silliness reflects that I am gay and still live in my mommy’s basement. It is likewise unkind and mostly irrelevant to point out that I have obviously never even seen the film “Forrest Gump”, or that I thoroughly and stupidly misunderstood it.

The budget has not been Obama’s strong suit, but he will learn to do better if we just give him four more years to improve.

I’m bankrupt now because the budget was not my spouse’s strong suit, but he will learn to do better if I just give him four more years to improve.

America has become a selfish country where almost half of the population believes that the government is obligated to provide their most basic needs

We just love to hear that!

Billionaire Banksters 4 Obama! Man, was that stimulus stuff great for a some of us. And Solyndra — taking the rubes to the cleaners bigtime. Loving it.

Obama sucks. See, it’s not so hard to admit the obvious.

The headline reads like Obama is straining to take a marxist dump.
