Nice job, Mr. Ramirez, in recognizing the president has 100% control over the purse strings of the US and not Congress, but only when a Democrat is president.
If the US ants to take over my student loan debt then I can start contributing to the national debt. Has anyone started an online Kickstart program for that yet?
Wow, more hatred of Obama expressed by Ramirez. Shocking, yes?-When Bush took office, he stated that there shouldn’t be the budget surplus he inherited, that all that money should be ‘returned’ to the ‘people’ (especially the already wealthy), so that we could have a deficit once more and add to the national debt.-Then, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were financed off the books, along with another round of tax cuts for the wealthy, and Medicare Part D. -But It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It.
Mr O & crew haven’t passed a budget in the entire time he’s been in office, even when they controlled both houses. Not having a budget, as required by law, gives the spendies all sorts of room to screw the taxpayers (and buy votes) with continuing resolutions.
Both Parties in Congress have contributed to this mess. This can all be fixed if there was a re-election law for: You can run for re-election if the National Budget has a Surplus.
Thanks for the wars, Mr. “W”, the ones you didn’t count in your budgets, that Obama did, and which accounted for most of the rise in the debt in the last six years.
BTW, lets stop taxing the rich and capital gains, as the Dow nearly cracked 18,000 today, but ended up 40 points short, record profits for those who can “invest”, and pay WAy less than that touted potential 35% maximum tax rate, more like 8%, actually on those capital gains held briefly, or manipulated by any good accountant.

So you agree with me then, it should be Congress in the space suit, not Obama.

Hey, the GOP wants to give the rich another tax break, $350 BILLION. They don’t see a debt as long as it benefits their overlords.
