    Please don't use facts in a political argument. The Right HATES facts. They are so damn inconvenient. That's why they have "beliefs" and "values." You can be whomever you want in fantasyland.

  • If debt is a problem now, it should have been so during Bush while he was cutting revenues and running record debts. I find it suspect that debt is only now an issue. Cowboys spend and spend.

  • And under whose watch did America's credit rating go down??? Obama

    I would much rather live under a president racking up debt on "real" items rather than giving handouts to people who should not even be in this country!

    And why was it downgraded? Because the Republican controlled House didn't increase the debt ceiling. Something that was done NINE times under Bush.

    I dont' believe in handouts. Repubs give handouts to Oil companies, bankers, pharmaceutical companies, etc. They prefer corporate welfare to traditional welfare--it's still welfare nonetheless.

  • Why not show the percentage increase based on GDP? Oh yea that's right, it doesn't fit your cute little liberal meme that floated around about a month ago courtesy of Nancy Pelosi. And by the way, correct me if I'm wrong I'm not a magical wizard like you but isn't 41% of 10-11 trillion much more than say 189% of 500 billion?

  • Picture is kind of the same when done with debt vs GDP. Now granted if they did what they were supposed to do as decent human beings than the story may have changed.

    So you're implying raising the debt ceiling would have made the country more solvent? This is like saying increasing someone's credit card limit, who is already insolvent, makes them a better credit risk. Both sides of the aisle are guilty, but no one wants to make the tough choices when it's an election year and the electorate is restless. Welcome to the United States of Greece....

  • So Tim, is it a good thing that this Nation is $15.4 Trillion in debt and that
    we've only added $4 Trillion in the last 3 years with another 1.4 Trillion planned for this year? I am not sure if your happy that we are broke as a Nation or not. And we
    have no plans to solve this in the near future. Buy gold my friends. The dollar will
    be worthless.

    You're funny but in the way people are laughing "at you" and not "with you"... This president has added more to our debt than any in history and at an unprecedented pace. If a public corporation borrowed the relative amounts of money this guy has and the economy was still in the shape it presently is in, the CEO and the entire leadership team would be out on the street and the company's stock would be at "junk" status. Talk about "Fantasyland"... That is the one place the liberals inarguably have complete and total dominion over.

    Go look at how much GDP rose under each President, and then compare debt growth to economic growth for an accurate picture.

    TIM..you should know better than to throw FACTS out to the Nazi Reich wing sheep....

    I havent been on here in months....nice to see that STUPIDITY SILL REIGNS from those like sryan, Timmy and their flock of morons....it must piss them off to no end TO KNOW that President Obama will be President for another 1800 days....I LOVE IT

    The Greed Over People party have NOT had a presidential candidate with a brain in 24 years....OH HOW THAT MAKES ME SMILE....they spin everything....but are alienating WOMEN on a vast scale, whom represent 52% of potential voters, unless of course they get their statehouses to pass ANTI-VOTER and archiach JIM CROWE laws....and take away many civil rights and womens rights....it must be sad to see their HATE falling on deaf electorate ears....

    Unemployment is down....the DOW is over 13000....Bin Laden DEAD....Ghadaffy gone without a boot on the ground....my,my,my it must make their blood boil to watch an educated, intelligent (half) black man restore dignity, class and someone whom speaks in full sentences to the office of The President Of The United States Of America....while LOONEY Paul, SCARY Santourm, HATEFUL Gingrich and ELITIST Romney make their Nazi party the laughing stock of the world....

    Come November, President Obama will have won a 52% - 48% LANDSLIDE VICTORY....somewhere along the lines of a 303 - 237 ELECTORATE LANDSLIDE....proving once again, that the Rethugliscum party of no cooperation is nothing more than southern, white, racist men that pray in church on Sundays for nothing more than the defeat of President Obama ABOVE ALL ELSE....and their God said NO....ONCE AGAIN....THAT must really make their skin crawl....

    Keep fighting the good fight here....afterall, there are many IGNORANT FOX NOISE sheep here....and their stuidity knows no bounds....JUST SAYIN biggrin

    Percentages mean little. Real dollars do. You can't spend percentages. Obama's budgets are digging the debt in dollars deeper than any other president. Still he refuses to take on entitlement spending. He had a chance to try to fix things and turned his back on the recommendations of his own appointees Bowles-Simpson.
