What false choice? Conservative is saying that the government shouldn't be paying for peoples' healthcare, but they are do, and as Adam pointed out, they have since Reagan made that the law in 1986. So where's his outrage at Reagan?

Your graphs show Bush debt from 2001 - 2009. I am talking about the debt that has accumulated since 2009 when Obama took office.

The chart shows you the cost of Obama's policies for 2009-2017 ... $983 billion.

So, what you are saying is that Obama is only accountable for about $100 billion per year in deficit spending. But his own budget is projecting trillion dollar annual deficits. Where is the rest of the spending coming from?

Yes, i believe healthcare is 100% personal responsibility. if the state residents want to support a universal healthcare program in their state then that is within their rights, no such rights exist for a one size fits all Federal Program

But you support Reagan federally funding emergency room care??

Hypocrite much?

Most of the budget lies in non-discretionary items. The chart I posted shows the impact of Obama's policies on the debt.

So Obama has no ability and no plan to deal with/reform non-discretionary entitlement spending? What good is he?

He is the president, he has been president for 3 years. What he has done about the deficit is nothing. What he plans to do about the deficit is nothing. Apparently, you are willing to give Emperor Barack O' Nero a pass as he fiddles while DC burns. You can demand more of your president, you know.

Still waiting for you to say that you support mandatory Federal healthcare, mandating churches to violate their principles and teachings, 47% of all income earning households not paying any FIT while demanding those that do to pay more. Class warfare, crony capitalism, trillion dollar deficits are the norm under Obam

Why are you asking me that on the "US economy creates 243,000 jobs" forum?

What Bush did or didn't do has no relevance to the "Lame Obama recovery" with results worse than when he took office at a cost of 4.6 trillion added to the debt in 3 years and another projected deficit of 1.1 trillion this year.

If that were true, how come there isn't a Republican running who can beat him?

It's a long, long way to the election. It won't be easy defeating Obama, it is never easy unseating a sitting President. But I don't think you can be so optimistic based on the way he is running things right now.

Based on the way he's running things right now, he's beating all of his rivals. Based on the way he's running things right now, his lead over them is growing. You're 100% right in that there's a long way to go and it's true anything can happen, but the way he's running things right now, he's getting another 4 years. Employment is rising, GDP is rising, his JAR is rising, his lead over his rivals is rising. I am of the opinion that it's going to take a major economic disaster between now and the election for him to lose.
