Is Obama drunk or crazy? He said today that the deficit has gone down.

This ^

You probably need this spelled out for you. The $787 billion Obama Stimulus went into effect in February. It was then revised to $831 billion. It's pure debt added to the already existing debt! THAT is the major reason WHY the 2008 Bush debt of $450 billion shot up to $1.4 trillion.

The other factor was Obama's hideous unemployment figures. The stimulus did not add net jobs. No it and Obama's regulations cost jobs.

The Stimulus was not Bush's doing - it was Obama's!!

CBO says you're a lying moron.
CBO officially projected a deficit of $1.2 trillion BEFORE Obama took office!
And CBO specifically said this:

"That total ($1.2 trillion deficit), however, does NOT include the effects of any future legislation," the CBO noted. "Enactment of an economic stimulus package, for example, would add to the 2009 deficit."

An April 2009 study from the Pew Charitable Trust found that a combination of factors -- increased government spending (Bush), tax cuts (Bush) and the economic downturn (Bush) -- were mostly to blame for the large budget deficits.

He can say what he wants. His supporters will beleive him. They don't vote for intelligence they vote for charisma.

Above all, it was the Great Bush Crash and Collapse of the economy that caused our trillion dollar deficits, NOT anything that Obama did.

Morans

Are we not supposed to believe what the Congressional Budget Office forecast BEFORE Obama took office??
Wtf?

He is just giving the sheep what they want to hear. If you want to be a sheep, prepare for an eventual slaughter.

Read the fucking thread.
Two things have been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt.
1) Obama did not cause the trillion dollar deficits.
2) The deficits have been steadily dropping.

I could also add:
3) Obama has been spending at a rate far below Bush and Reagan.
4) The stock market has doubled in value the past four years.

Hmmm, Nope. Still at 16 Trillion.....and counting.

Moosefucker, decreasing the rate at which a deficit grows is not shrinking the deficit. It means the deficit is GROWING at a smaller rate, yet still GROWING, MEANING THE DEFICIT IS STILL GOING UP....... UNDERSTAND?

Obama has trillion dollar deficits every year.

Obama has outspent every president ever, BY FAR.

The stock market is a sham now and it's being held together by duct tape.

You're too stupid to understand, so this post is for others.

Dumbfuck, if the deficits are decreasing then they're decreasing, not growing.

Perhaps you don't understand the difference between deficit and debt.

Obama outspent Bush II by 4 to 5 times. Yet the MSM was freaking out over Bush, but is completely silent about Obama. Funny how that works.

That's not true.
Obama is spending FAR LESS than Bush did.
The problem is mainly reduced revenues AND ALL THE ACCUMULATED REPUBLICAN DEBT SINCE REAGANOMICS.

he knows that his supporters are so stupid that they'll believe it.....

lol....give it up idiot

Read the fucking thread.

Tell me what the deficit was for 2009.
Then tell me what the deficit is forecast to be in 2013.
Then tell me which is more and which is less.


Morans

LMAO tard, your pulling the old libtard trick of it's all Reagan's fault now? What was that, like 30 years ago? Might as well blame Calvin Coolidge, LOL.

Here's the fucking problem tard, well even not factoring in reduced revenue Obama outspends Bush II by 4 to 5 times deficit wise, but even if you factor in reduced revenue, umm, isn't a reduced revenue possibly Obama's fault too??? Huuuuuh???? Duuuuurrrr???

Its like saying my wife went crazy with her credit card and increased our debt by ridiculous amounts the last four years, but its not her fault because she lost her job and made less money too to compound the problem!

Give it up libtard, Obama's toast.

LOL....wake the fuck up, Chewbacca....LOL

What would be your recipe?
An austerity plan of defunding the government and do nothing to stimulate the economy?
You think that would reduce deficits?

I yelled when Reagan tripled the national debt, I yelled when Bush doubled the national debt, and I would be yelling at Obama if rising debt was his fault, but it's not.

You fuckers really need to educate yourselves.

You just live in a fact-free zone, don't you?
Nothing gets through that thick skull of yours.

Weird

Fuck, if the deficit is not Obama's fault tard, than it certainly is not Reagan's or Bush's fault.

LOL libtard even I as a conservative will admit Reagan or Bush did not do enough to keep social program spending in line. But I'm not going to blame it on Carter or Clinton - umm, you do know where the housing crisis started right? ;)

Anyhoooooooo, like anyone with a basic understanding of economics, like Romney seems to have and not Obama, is that the one and only way to blast out of deficits is, umm, and I'm trying to use as simple as terms as possible for tards like you, is to grow the pie (Romney) rather than take bigger chunks out of the pie and ultimately shrink the pie (Obama).

Think about it MSM brainwashed tard.

:true:

Morans

This would be a lot more accurate.

Debt added by the last four Republican presidents we've had: $11 trillion.
The only presidents in generations to reduce spending: Clinton and Obama.

some people will believe him, hes trying anything to stay in office,

Are you saying that deficits aren't dropping?
What are your numbers?
Or are you just talking out of your ass?

NO, It means the DEBT continues to rise. The budget deficit is falling. Yet another Moran who can't differentiate between deficit and debt.
