I bring it up because that is the case.Not when the CBO says we can't do what Obama wants.Threatening to not raise the debt ceiling.
Threatening to cut Medicare.
Threatening to cut people's unemployment unless the rich get more tax breaks.
Slashing funding for education.
Clearly that describes "reckless", "insane" and "madness".
What Obama wants is the opposite of what the CBO says we need to do.
So, NO...N-O to Obama.
Spending more than we have is reckless and insane. Continuing to do so when the situation is dire, makes some wonder if ruination is the goal of Obama.
....
Despite the low projected figure for defense spending and all other spending, the high costs of the major health care programs and Social Security mean that total outlays apart from interest on the debt are projected to be 20.5 percent of GDP in 2021, nearly 2 percentage points above the 40-year average. After interest payments are included, total outlays are projected to be nearly 24 percent of GDP, 6 percentage points more than the average amount of revenues during the past 40 years.
Therefore, given the aging of the population and the rising cost of health care, the United States cannot achieve all of the following objectives in the future:
Keep federal revenues at their average share of GDP during the past 40 years.
Provide the same sorts of benefits for older Americans that we have provided in the past 40 years.
Operate the rest of the federal government in line with its role in our economy and society during the past 40 years.

One must laugh at your tripe. The retards hve trashed America for the last 20 years eaisly, and you bring up ruination. LMAO!!
Again, the argument that we continue on the path to financial ruin because we always have been on that path is insanity by definition.
Give yourself a pat on the back, skippy.
