Can any Republican on this board please name all new debt under the president.

[Mike Evans]

Why didn't you have to support your claim that they were too high?

I asked the same question

[Mike Evans]

Again a total overhaul of the entire political system needs to happen. This finger is pointed towards both parties. Until then spending won’t be stopped and the national debt will continue to sky rocket. If things continue to spiral out of control history will repeat itself. And when I mean a repeat of history an internal war will occur. We broke away from England through the Revolution due to the increasing taxes and political BS they were trying to set in place.

Why didn't pubs call for this under the guy who started the problem? Why now. Hmmmmmmm

[Eastsider]

What I get out of all you post total blame goes towards all Republicians and not a single Democrat.

Hmmmmmmm.......

Hmmmmmmm.......

The republicans have vowed not to work with Obama. They have put partisanship before the good of the country...

[RHB]

Obama's budget was defeated.

http://talk.baltimoresun.com/showthread.php?t=314701

Just like Obama's budget for 2009, 2010, 2011 etc..

Therefore any and all budget deficits are squarely on the shoulders on the republicans....

This is where I point out why so many on the far-right ignore facts and just listen to their talk show masters.

So the Dems were for Obama's budget? Yea okay, maybe a few. How come Harry does not bring Barry's Budget to the floor for a vote?

Lol, according to you the person in charge gets the blame. Bush inherited a booming economy and F it up

[Mike Evans]

Yup they had a meeting about it

[Eastsider]

There is a ton of blame on Bush for this mess. But right now Obama has the helm and he has not set this country on the correct course in my opinion. Again do you blame a single Democrat for this mess?

[Eastsider]

Yup they had a meeting about it

Link???? I normally don't ask but that is a big accusation.

[Wizard777]

Lol, the president doesn't hold the check book. Obama Cares has not even hit the debt. Again the republicans are liars. Bush inherited a balance budget a F it up. Opps I forgot we are supposed to forget about the cowboy.

The Republican lead house holds the check book.

[Eastsider]

Lol, let's end this right now. Pubs are crying that the presidents spends like a drunken sailor. I'm asking right now, what new debt that he introduced has added up to 5 trillion. I will be waiting

Maybe this was a debt failure on Obama's adminastration. Add up the billions of dollars and the number of jobs lost.

Lol, when were those jobs lost. 25 straight months of job growth. Bout to be 26

[woody]

He hasn't raised taxes. Are you willing to pay higher taxes to reduce the debt?

No, because the crooks and liars will never apply increased taxes to reducing the debt. They will spend more increasing the debt even higher. They have sold this country down the toilet.

That would be the republican who did that. He inherited a surplus

[georjec2]

Who provides the funds for the spending? We the taxpayers. Taxes are too high.

Actually they are too low. The republicans would/will never let them get too high.

To many many Americans any amount of tax is too high and yet these same Americans want safe bridges, clean water, properly inflated 747 jet tires and rodent free restaurants.

I agree. Taxes should be raised during war time. Everbody has to sacrifice. All those let's go get them cats need to feel the pain as well, since they won't pick up a gun.

How much tax is enough? Most of us don't mind paying taxes for the things you mention. We would like government to be more responsible with our money though. Corporate bailouts and entitlement programs is not being responsible. Without the waste and inefficiency of where our tax dollars go, the tax rates would be just fine where they are. Let's keep the safe bridges, clean water, properly inflated 747 jet tires and rodent free restaurants....let's lose the bailout and entitlement mentality. I bet we can fund America on the current tax rates if we do that!

Alot more than the approximately 10% overall rate (federal income tax revenue vs income)

Personal Income US 2010 = $12 Trillion

http://bber.unm.edu/econ/us-tpi.htm

2010 Income tax revenue = $1090 Billion

Thats about 9%

[gps29070]

Whatever Obama inherited is not the issue. What has he done to reduce the debt?

Nothing, because the REPUBLICANS keep voting down every budget that Obama submits..

That is a fact... So I'm assuming Mom49of4, you are blaming the REPUBLICANS for these deficits we are currently accumulating? Or are you just going to play the HATE OBAMA card, and blame Obama for it instead?

[gps29070]

Corporate bailouts and entitlement programs is not being responsible.

So I'm assuming you are against all entitlement programs like Medicare, Social Security.... along with the one's that cost nearly as much such as Medicaid, Food stamps, Section 8 etc....
