I understand that newspapers are losing readers, but maybe Henry should read one every couple of weeks so he knows more than what Rush and Hannity tell him.
The way government reduces deficit is very easy for them to do, ReFlex. They go into their spreadsheet and see what the deficit is going to be, then, they go to the cell that shows how much they were going to borrow and increase that number and “PRESTO!”. The deficit is reduced. The consequence of this ledgerdermain, (misspelling intentional) of course, is that debt increases.
Except the House (boner et al) write the spending bills and add extra debt to fund their pet home district projects…up to and including crap the DoD doesn’t want
Scott he’s not lying he really believes. It is the same thing with unemployment. They drop the number of people looking for work every month and they say they have over 40 months of job growth.
“I doubt he will be clearing brush on the back 40.” Why would The President , do something as useless as that? You must be thinking of that other guy with a non-working ranch who used it for photo ops .
“@ReFlex-76 What a liar you are. Obama added $6.6 trillion in debt his first four years in office while Bush only added $5 trillion over 8 years. Yet again ‘higher’ math eludes a liberal. 6.6>5 AND 4<8.” Question, Did you deduct the off budget items Pres. Obama put on his budget which included the previous +/- 8 years, and apply it to the little bush budgets? The Bureau of Public Debt did not.
Funny how "conservatives’ didn’t raise a fuss when a Republican controlled Congress raised the debt ceiling 6 times during the Bush Administration. They don’t care about the debt, just which party is creating it.
Called "the Thomas Nast of his time" by The National Review magazine, Payne is an informed journalist whose investigative writing has also made national headlines.

According to this analogy, Congress raises debt and deficit.
- BTW, the deficit has shrunk under President Obama.

Just as the expanding universe is shrinking? Tell me how out of control spending is ‘shrinking deficit’.

Anyone see O snuck off to Hawaii for his $4 million vacation? I doubt he will be clearing brush on the back 40.

It’s no accident that newspapers are losing readers. People are smart enough to recognize liberal shills when they see them.
