REAGAN TRIPLING THE DEBT, Bush doubling it- no problem, but Obama 70 per cent more means Pubs have to paralyze the government and cut growth 1.5- 2 per cent in the middle of THEIR Great Recession- BRILLIANT

horseshit!

debt when obama took office 10 trillion

debt 5 years later 17 trillion

it took 43 presidents to get to 10 trillion, but only 5 years for obama to add 7 trillion.

probable debt when obama leaves office---------24 trillion.

who the fuck is going to pay that off? right now we are only paying the interest, nothing

on the principal.

You're a gd moron Pub dupe ignoramus- RAYGUN RAISED THE DEBT 218 per cent, W Bush 86, IN GOOD TIMES, Obama 70 per cent to avert ANOTHER Pub depression and take care of the victims, AND THE DEFICIT IS DOWN TO THE 600 BILLION MARK THIS YEAR.

Would help if your a-hole lying heroes would help the recovery with a jobs act 1 per cent growth and no more phoney debt ceiling and subsequent sequester BS- 1 PER CENT CUT IN GROWTH each. JEEBUS you're a fecking disgrace, brainwashed functional idiot.

 

[francoHFW]

When Raygun started, the debt was 800 billion lol, when he left, 2.4 billion. W BUSH took it from 5 to 10 trillion...NEVER mentioned on the Pub Propaganda Machine, hater dupe...stop wrecking the recovery. Nobody's buy your ridiculous Pubcrappe anymore...

And the Democrats never passed a single budget

Democrats are authorized to pass a budget?

Who do you think is to blame for the lack of progress in the senate?

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) confirmed Thursday that she will seek the chairmanship of the Senate Budget Committee next year but told The Hill that she cannot commit to doing a budget.

This opens up the possibility that Senate Democrats will avoiding passing a budget resolution for the fourth year in a row. The last time the Senate passed a standalone budget resolution was in 2009.

[francoHFW]

Mainly because PUBS WON'TCOMPROMISE AT ALL, BLOCK ALL dem budgets...DUH.

 

[ShaklesOfBigGov]

1.6 trillion of the spending of the last 4 years was interest on the debt.

right, and as the debt gets larger the interest payments get larger. you do realize that we are ONLY paying the interest on the debt, nothing on the principal, right?

Do you libs think this can go on forever? Every time congress increases the debt ceiling, the problem gets worse. Why do you dem/libs support increasing the debt ceiling?

If you don't raise the debt ceiling, approximately 1/3 (at least) of all federal government spending has to stop.

Show us how you would make those cuts.

Let's start by terminating all the czars under his administration, positions Obama gave to his supporters. Now there is no doubt a waste of taxpayer dollars.

 

[francoHFW]

Czars my butt, total Pub dupe. The unknown before the 'no compromise, un-American Tea Party GOP'-TIME- debt ceiling CRISIS is stupid BS FOR DUPES ONLY that costs the economy 1 per cent in growth for a YEAR.

Do you seriously believe this Congress is capable of agreeing to a budget?

Want to talk about sequester?

It?s Official: 2012 Deficit Was $1.087T; $1T+ All 4 Yrs of Obama?s 1st Term | CNS News


Congressional Budget Office last week released updated historical budget data for the federal government, reporting a deficit of $1.087 trillion in fiscal 2012. 2012 marked the fourth straight year—and the only four years in the history of the nation--when the federal government’s deficit topped $1 trillion. - See more at: It?s Official: 2012 Deficit Was $1.087T; $1T+ All 4 Yrs of Obama?s 1st Term | CNS News

I was wondering why the deficit creating tax cuts weren't mentioned or the two unpaid for wars or all the jobs moved to China from 2001 to 2008 and why it didn't mention that Bush's last budget continued until almost the end of the year of 2009 then I looked at the station "banner". The "Right" news "Right" now. Oh, that explains it.

 

[Londoner]

It's official. The party that claims to be against deficits always seems to increase the deficits over the democratic president before them.

Ronald Regan, the father of the anti-deficit Republican Party, was the biggest deficit raiser of all time.

"Reagan nearly tripled the federal budget deficit. During the Reagan years, the debt increased to nearly $3 trillion, “roughly three times as much as the first 80 years of the century had done altogether.” Reagan enacted a major tax cut his first year in office and government revenue dropped off precipitously. Despite the conservative myth that tax cuts somehow increase revenue, the government went deeper into debt and Reagan had to raise taxes just a year after he enacted his tax cut. Despite ten more tax hikes on everything from gasoline to corporate income, Reagan was never able to get the deficit under control."

Turn off talk radio and study actual history.

The postwar and Reagan booms took place during MASSIVE deficit spending.

Raising the debt ceiling does not at all confront the issue and deal with the national debt - moron. If we want to talk cuts, how about we end federal support of Planned Parenthood, and open them up to private funding and supporters like the Salvation Army. They are among the oldest organizations in our country and managed to survive WITHOUT Federal funding.

Official US Government Spending
1993: $1.41 trillion
1994: $1.46 trillion
1995: $1.52 trillion
1996: $1.56 trillion
1997: $1.60 trillion
1998: $1.65 trillion
1999: $1.70 trillion
2000: $1.79 trillion
2001: $1.86 trillion
2002: $2.01 trillion
2003: $2.16 trillion
2004: $2.29 trillion
2005: $2.47 trillion
2006: $2.66 trillion
2007: $2.73 trillion
2008: $2.98 trillion
2009: $3.52 trillion
2010: $3.46 trillion
2011: $3.60 trillion
2012: $3.54 trillion

Here is the big picture. Government spending is only down a little from a really high level it spiked to from bailout & stimulus. Deficit spending exploded during the end of Bush & beginning of Obama's term. This is mainly due to the bailouts, tax loopholes & stimulus. Government income is way down. Way more work must be done or the USA will be the next Detroit of Greece.

 

[francoHFW]

There has NEVER been a problem with raising the debt ceiling in our history until the new BS idiot GOP. AND IT COST US at least 1 per cent in growth for a year, just like the ensuing sequester. FOR NOTHING. ABSOLUTE TEA PARTY IDIOCY. ty Sean Rushbeck LOL.

And the Democrats never passed a single budget

Of course with the GOP loons in the House blocking them

Daily Kos: LA-Sen: Mary Landrieu (D) Calls Out Republicans For Blocking Budget Negotiations

 

[Avorysuds]

Democrats are authorized to pass a budget?

The GOP controlled house has passed several budget bills, Reid has not let a single one come to the floor of the senate for debate or a vote-----------dems control the senate RW.

So yes, the dems are responsible for the US having no budget for the last 5 years.

The GOP House passes budgets without any Democratic input that contain poison pills making them dead in the water
Starting your budget with "Repeal Obamacare" is not a workable budget
Reid is under no obligation to consider a budget that is a waste of the Senates time

So you're saying the Dem party is the party of no, or .... is it different when they (you) do it?

Quoting Daily KOS makes you look like an idiot. Claiming that Republicans are responsible for blocking budget negotiations is foolish, especially since Paul Ryan has been trying for the longest time to pass budget cuts. His biggest obstacle is a obstinate president and a Democratically controlled Senate.

Don't lie.

Adjusted for inflation, federal government spending PEAKED in FY 2009 (note that FY 2009 includes 3 months of 2008)

You are in desperate need of a f*cking math class.

So you're one of the idiots that thinks we shouldn't even have a debt ceiling. No amount of debt can possibly become a problem when we are borrowing money not to expand in a reasonable way but we are using debt to pay for past debt. You really aren't smart enough to notice that maybe new debt on top of old debt to pay for programs previously funded by debt is a problem?

You apparently don't have the mathematical skills let alone the cognitive to recognize the country is now at 101% of debt to GDP.

Let me see if I can make this simpler. We are spending $1.10 when our absolute earning power only provides a dollar. And I'm being f*cking generous here with these numbers in your favor. Yet your solution is more borrowing. And on the income side of this spread sheet is the government making rules to reduce our earning power. The earnings that actually pay the debt. Are you too f*cking stupid to actually follow this?

Way to block the recovery ANOTHER year with stupid BS. AND thanks for the stupidest wars ever and the Great World Recession/meltdown.
