Under Obama, the deficit has decreased more and faster than at any time since the end of WWII. The debt ceiling is not Obama’s, since he doesn’t set spending levels. It’s the congress’ problem, and they’ll need to deal with it. Either cut 40% of all government spending (including Defense) in a recession, or raise taxes to unprecedented amounts in a recession, or recognize reality — in a recession, you need to spend money. Then you need to KEEP TAXES UP when the economy is doing well to pay down the debt. What are the chances THIS Republican congress can recognize reality?
Opposite Radish. I wish O and other would stop saying Americans want. I haven’t been asked, I am an American, and not tea party . I am a Libertarian and dislike both sides when they act stupid… LIKE NOW!
Glassman is a long-time liberal.He used numbers from The President’s Reports….government numbers on the record.-the numbers are the Ratio of deficit to the GDP using the current fiscal year official numbers.Obama surpasses all other presidents in his skyhigh deficits and has added %$5 trillion to the Federal Debt.
