Ahhh, now we get to the point. THE NATIONAL DEBT HAS DEFINITELY CLIMBED under President Obama; but not much of it is DUE to Obama policies. For example, here are the undisputed contributors to the increase:
- Two unpaid for Wars started by the previous administration
- Two massive unpaid for Tax cuts by the previous administration
- A massive MEDICARE Rx plan, unpaid for by the previous administration
- Interest on the debt associated by the above idiotic moves
- A massive stimulous package that is responsible for 4 million jobs (this is not even in dispute), that most mainstream economists feel was not big enough.
The above facts are NOT even in dispute. So when you say that "the debt has increased" under the president, you are really being a little miss leading. Besides the stimulus package (800B$), what are his specific policies that increased the debt? You can not name any. Without the inherited near depressed economy, the two underpaid for wars, the unpaid for Med D, the unpaid for tax cuts, 85% of the debt increase would not exist; THATS A FACT! I challenge you to dispute my facts, with specific facts, not partisan emotional opinion.
* Two unpaid wars that have continued under BO's watchful eye when he said we would be out within 12 months after his election. Also what about Libya? And central Africa where we now have amassed hundreds (maybe thousands of troops). Why? Time will tell.
* Tax cuts that were continued by BO. Why? Because it would hurt the economy. HELLO?!?!? It would hurt the economy??? What the hell does that tell you? And guess what, I predict that they will be continued again. While on the subject, what is the one tax he cuts yet is ready to scream that the other guys want to take away your SS. yeah, payroll tax. The one that is supposed to be earmarked for SS. So he cuts the SS tax making less SS revenue coming in, yet has the balls to say the republicans want to kill grandma. Wake the F up.
* Medicare Tax plan now... Obamacare would make that additional debt look like a surplus. If Obamacare stays as is, we are screwed.
* Last three years have deficits averaged over $1T a year, and next year looks to repeat. Obama's budget was vetoed by ALL (D's & R's) in the senate. Also, the DEMs have not presented a budget for three years. Why?
* A stimulus package not big enough? Are you shitting me? Too big. Didn't work. But don't worry, QE3, QE4 and more will be coming your way. And there will be nothing to show for it. Keynes was an idiot. And so are those that follow his principles. But you just keep smokin' what you are smokin'
Oh, and Taxes is nothing more than the gov't stealing. Learn and understand that, & you will be see the light. Now, since I am on a rant, let's look at campaign promises made by the Big O. I won't even get into his numerous vacations at the taxpayers expense including three x-mas trips to Hawaii (no other Pres had done). Michelle's trips to Spain w/ her buddies staying at 5 start reports, etc... He is playing you. Wake up.
OK, the "promises":
here's a list of some of Obama's campaign promises that have yet to be fulfilled:
- put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them
- have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN
- end earmarks
- keep unemployment from rising above 8%
- close the detention center a Guantanamo in the first year
- make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America 's most hate-filled enemies during his first
year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation
- a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all areas
Now take a valium before responding, I don't want you to blow a gasket.
