I told you a long time ago that Reagan nearly tripled the debt; Bush Jr almost doubled it and Obama only raised it a mere 45%.

It's conservatives who like to borrow and spend.

Don't get personal! Keep your responses geared toward the topic and not the participants that disagree with you.

That chart is extremely misleading. It needs to account for the deficits representation of total output, not it's nominal change via presidential term.

He can't. He is perhaps the most consistently wrong poster on this forum.

So trillion dollar deficits aren't a problem as long as the deficit is a little less than the year before? Who does your finances?

Trillion dollar deficits are not a problem so long as they coincide with economic growth in conjunction with a consistent decline in real terms.

Only a liberal who doesn't understand finances and is brainwashed by an ideology believes that trillion dollar deficits and adding over 6.4 trillion to the debt in 5 years is ok as long as the deficit is a little less each year. The fact that it is over a trillion dollars doesn't matter to a left leaning zealot.
 
Re: CNN Poll: GOP would bear the brunt of shutdown blame [W:176]

A few of you seem unclear on the concepts of debt and deficit - they are NOT the same thing.

Gradually decreasing the deficit still is adding to the debt which when interest rates rise is unsustainable

It's better than what your two buddies Reagan and Baby Bush did--rapidly increase the deficit. :roll:

A rise in interest rates will only impact the subset of debt that is denominated in Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS). The interest rates on the remaining debt is fixed. Hence, a rise in interest rates will have zero impact on repayment as long as future deficits continue to trend downward.

Your hopeless. Your so biased that you cheer deficit spending by the GOP but howl like a stuck pig when a Democrat does it at a lower rate.

Enjoy your uninformed paradigm.

Not surprising, the sequester is in effect and Obama takes credit for the reduction in the deficit. Keep allowing liberalism to make a fool of you.

Hahaha! This dude thinks the sequester is the reason deficits have been precipitously falling for the last three years!

This is why we can't have nice things.

It provides a better picture of the fiscal differentials among presidencies. Showing change in nominal debt doesn't tell you all that much. For example, an overwhelming amount of debt during the early Reagan administration was inflated away, but you wouldn't be able to tell that given the chart you provided.

Yep, getting the Federal Govt. back to where it belongs, smaller and living by the Constitution, providing for the common defense, eliminating the unified budget thus removing Medicare and SS from the budget and eliminating any expense duplicated at the state level.

I just don't understand people like you, what is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty? All you ever can do is blame someone else. Reagan added 1.7 trillion to the debt while creating 17 million jobs. Bush added 4.9 trillion to the debt in 8 years while paying for 9/11 and increasing 7 million jobs from 2001-2008, Obama has added 6.4 trillion to the debt in 5 years while having a 2 million job increase but a working force 2 million less than when the recession began. I don't know why I waste posting numbers for you because you simply ignore them or don't understand them. You really have no concept as to the role of the Federal Govt. do you or the qualities of leadership.

CNN Poll: GOP would bear the brunt of shutdown blame

In a related story, Manny Gonzalez, the home plate umpire for the Cleveland / Tampa Bay wild card game, guaranteed pitcher Danny Salazar will have 12 strikeouts.

No, what I point out and continue to point out is that if you are going to create debt you better generate a better return on that debt. Where is the return on the Obama debt. I grew up a Democrat, a loyal Democrat but grew out of it. That may happen to you someday when you realize what a fool the liberal elites have made out of you
