Yeah, Obama! You should have been able to wipe out Bush’s budget disaster, even the ones he didn’t put on the books, despite the ‘help’ from the GOP guard. Just lowering the deficit from GOP levels back down to Democrat levels isn’t enough.
Ramirez should get his facts straight: Bush Senior left Clinton a $269 billion deficit; Clinton left Dubya a $127.3 billion SURPLUS; Dubya left Obama a $1.4 TRILLION deficit; Obama has reduced that deficit to $492 Billion. The debt is still disgraceful, but take a look at who created it before you point fingers.

The federal budget is not the same as a household budget. http://www.rooseveltinstitute.org/new-roosevelt/federal-budget-not-household-budget-here-s-why
Congress can lower the debt in a instant; just cancel SS, medicare, Federal retirement(Don`t forget ex congress on retirement), we would have a surplus instantly.
Republicans these days make up lies and repeat them to each other and on Fox “news” until a significant number of them believe those lies.
One third of Louisiana Republicans believe that Obama’s response to hurricane Katrina was inadequate.
Nationally, more Republicans believe that Rafael Cruz was born in Ameican than believe that Obama was.
Of course, none of the so-called ‘conservatives’ who post here ever were part of the ‘birther’ stuff. Only they all think — the guy who had ‘people on the ground in Hawaii and when it’s revealed what they found, it’s gonna be huge. HUGE!’ — they think he’s a great candidate.
^Do you have even the remotest concept of the massive difference between U.S. defense spending, number of aircraft carriers and Navy fleets, air force numbers of aircraft, or weapons systems, and what Russia and China put out? Granted men under arms is a different matter, but it was Rumsfeld and Cheney, and now Republican funding, that cut the numbers of our ground troops.
If you desire to see true hypocrisy in action, watch the Democrats blubber on and and on about ‘choice’, then do everything they can to prohibit ‘choice’.

Republicans must be feeling like they’re losing today because they’re bringing up the phantom menace of debt.

Social Security does not add to the deficit; it is used to pad the general fund. Typical cons, proud of their ignorance.

Obama may write too many checks. But Boehner is the one that signs them. 6 years and he has not said “No”.
Boehner is Obama’s bitch.

I see the GOP’s paid shill is trying to deflect attention away from the recovery from the Bush-caused recession of 2008.
