Obama had both houses of congress his first two years, why did they do nothing about the debt?Clearly you are not getting it....Pelosi argued that under Obama, the annual budget deficit, which contributes to the national debt, has been reduced dramatically, and said that without Obama's work, the national debt would be even higher. She also mostly blamed Bush for not paying for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Every bit of that is demonstrably true....what's getting your colon in a twist, Unrepentant 2 Time Scrub Voting Imbecile?
Obama's work? What pray tell would that be? He's a tax and spend liberal. The only reason the budget deficit has been reduced is that the GOP took the House back from the Democrats in 2010. Pelosi claiming "credit" for reducing the deficit is amusing since she's one of the people who foisted the Affordable Care Act on the American people.
I don't give a shit what you drooling slack jawed cretins have been told to think....
a) You can determine, by means of the WH budget request of 2009, what Obama's spending plans were.....he was proposing increases considerably more modest than those we saw under his predecessor, and much more so than those under Ronald Reagan
b) ACA has added NOTHING to the deficit - according to CBO.....Why don't you tell everyone what CBO stands for?
national debt January 09 -- 10.6T
national debt January 17 -- 19.8T
Under obozo the Kenyan messiah our national debt almost doubled. Those stats cannot be questioned.
Now, shall we address Pelosi claiming that the ACA bill was bi-partisan?
The fiscal year starts Oct 1st of the year prior to those dates. Most spending is mandatory, which means it must be changed by Congress, as must taxation.
yes, that's correct. Obama had both houses of congress his first two years, why did they do nothing about the debt?
No matter how you try to spin it, our national debt was almost doubled during obozo's term. and yes, the republicans are partially responsible. Debt is an establishment problem in both parties.
Because, you idiot, the only means by which he could address it is through THE DEFICIT......which has been drastically reduced from where Scrubby left it...
