    Your problem is you're willfully ignorant. I'm done w you. It's a matter of public record that Obama has lowered the 1.5 trillion dollar deficit he inherited.

    It's public record that the job market is better.

    It's public record that the Stock Market is better.

    It's public record that the Housing Market is better.

    If you want to whine and cry like a child, and deny facts, so you can blame all the Nation's troubles on Obama, go right ahead. Be my guest.

    In 2008, Bush's last year in office, he hit just $500B. Obama is the only President who achieved a $1T deficit. The Congress Bush had was a majority of Democrats who passed the new budget Obama inherited. My research has shown there is dispute between what Bush had asked for and what the Democrats wanted in the budget for 2009.

    "Eisenhower took over a trillion dollar deficit and the worst economy in 4 generations?" pickles

    I guess you meant to say Obama because Eisenhower never took over a $T deficit. And where did the "worst economy in 4 generations" come into play?

    2009 was Bush's last budget. Obviously, you're a really smart guy, w/o an axe to grind, so you understand the way the budgetary process works.

    The deficit for that year was almost 1.5 trillion dollars.

    Again, you're a really smart guy so clearly you understand the meaning of a question mark at the end of a sentence, and the concept of a rhetorical question.

    And the state of the economy doesn't have a direct influence on the deficit??????????????????????????????????????????? ????? (See, I made it easy for you there.)

    “Senate Majority Leader Reid and his Democrat conference will have gone an unprecedented 1,200 days without adopting a budget plan as required by law,” the statement reads. “Not only have they failed to adopt a budget, but with America under threat of financial calamity, they have refused to even present a plan for public scrutiny.”

    The last budget created in the Senate was in April of 2009. They are required to pass a budget every year. Is this responsible government on the part of Democrats?

    I also understand how politics work. And knowing you can blame the outgoing President on a future increase in spending is how the game is played.

    In a true capitalist economy there is no such thing as to big to fail. Not banks, not auto industries. We have bankruptcy laws for this purpose. You don't reward banks for bad investments and you don't reward car manufacturers for building garbage people won't buy.

    I figure he's a 96%er that just couldn't help himself. In 300 more years that number will be closer to 73%. Too bad for them. :shrug:

    Facts confuse them.
