But that is the reality of President Obama today. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2257547 [link to www.forbes.com] I wish you read the first comment on the forbes website that explains it all to you OP. But im guessing you didn't. Oh well here it is read it slowly you will understand... daviddelosangeles 2 days ago Hello djvanderhoeven, The problem Mr. Obama faces is that all of that debt was created by Republicans. When Mr. Bush came into office in January 2001, there was no deficit at all, there was a 100 BUSD surplus, and the debt was a fraction of what it is today. Within in just a year or two the surplus vanished and the debt and deficit were skyrocketing. Mr. Bush and the Republican controlled congress had launched two wars but did not want to raise taxes to pay for them so they borrowed all of the money. Mr. Bush of course believed that the oil revenues from Iraq would pay for the cost of the war, which of course did no happen. On top of all of this, Mr. Bush introduced the Medicare Part D prescription drug plan which cost billions of dollars (with an eye to buying some votes) but again refused to raise taxes to pay for this bill. Let us go a step further, on December 17, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010, (H.R. 4853) a bill passed by the Republican controlled house that extended tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans while extending unemployment benefits to millions of Americans. It does not take a mathematical genius to realize that if benefits are extended and taxes cut, the deficit will be increased. Conservatives and Republicans like to talk about “cutting government” but they do the exact opposite. In 1978 the US government budget was set at 478 BUSD while in 1988, after two terms of Ronald Reagen it was 1,118.5 BUSD. In 2008, after two terms of George W. Bush, it had increased to 2,537.9 BUSD. The vast majority of the debt and deficit that can be seen today are Republican creations. What a total crock! Obama has run up more debt that all the previous POTUS combined! Anyone paying attetion knows this well. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |

What is wrong with you people is whats stopping you from getting it right. President Spending? Any President are you serious? You people campaign of Lies and Ignorance just doesnt stop. Hate is a river no man can swim and survive. Ignorance and apathy is far worse... The mere fact that you don't see that the world suffers because people don't have enough, and then defend this "family" for spending more money when America doesn't have it shows me how educated you are on current issues. More damage will be done with your mindset than the mindsets of those whom you just criticized. FOR SURE... watching the "run up" to the elections and the "hopes and dreams" that are built as a result is like watching a dead mouse that is still able to make his exercise wheel go around because his nerves are still twitching that familiar motion... |

As for the poster who refers to 2002-2008 being a golden age: If you had common-fucking-sense you would realize Barry is outspending even the increase of the money supply. Even with factoring in the dollar being worth less, Barry has outspent this. Time for you to learn a bit about economics instead of spewing stupidity. |
