I know this is what you want to believe especially that the CBO Projection which was made on January 7, 2009 was the actual results for 2009 but the facts simply don't support you.
I already said the final results for FY2009 were $1.4 trillion. Why must you continue to lie?
Projections are made upon based assumptions given them
And those assumptions were based on the spending bill Bush had signed in September of 2008 for FY2009, as well as the hit in tax revenue we were going to take because of the recession. They even noted any stimulus passed would drive deficit up more.
Do you understand anything about what you are talking in this thread? You don't understand budgets, you don't understand Social Security, you don't understand a President's policies don't go into effect a year before he takes office...what do you understand?
and the assumptions were that we had a budget which we didn't, the assumptions were that Obama would live by those assumptions which he didn't, the assumptions were that changes would be required should those assumptions not be accurate which they were.
You're trying to distract again. See my response above.
You see, your partisanship is controlling your thought process here
You have done nothing more than lie and show a total lack of understanding of some of the basic concepts of what we're discussing. I've sourced from official government websites, and you still continue with your lies even after they've been proven to be wrong. At this point, we both know you're wrong and we both know you're having to resort to lies. Why is it so hard for you to admit you've been wrong?
and you want to believe the Projections were reality ignoring the Obama contributions to the 2009 deficit
How could the projections made before Obama took office take into account Obama contributions to the 2009 deficit when Obama wasn't even in office? Once more, you're saying ridiculous things which have no basis in fact.
including the fact that he signed the budget in March 2009 after making changes
And those changes amounted to about $200 billion dollars more added to the deficit, which I've said three times now. Seriously, could you present an honest argument just once?
Apparently he knew that people like you would blame Bush for the deficit in 2009
The fact Bush signed the spending bill in September 2008 and the CBO projected a $1.2 trillion deficit before Obama even took office might have something to do with that. :roll:
and the people like you would ignore the deficits in 2010-2011-2012
You mean the deficits which basically declined every year (except for one, which remained relatively flat) until they are now roughly half of what Obama inherited?
You should thank Obama's policies.
and then tout cutting those record deficits in half as a significant accomplishment.
Because it is? Our previous President took a relatively balanced budget and by the time he was done, had racked up $1.2 trillion in deficit. Our current President took $1.2 trillion in deficit and has now cut it to $679 billion (FY 2013). When our current President leaves office, the expected deficit will be $413 billion. Since you seem to care about deficits, you should be thanking your lucky stars we finally got a Democrat back in office.
Only a liberal would buy the fact that Obama's proposed budgets which requested record spending would cut the deficit in half.
Only you would not understand the difference between spending and deficit.
I assure you that if we had those 20 million unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers on the job full time we wouldn't have the deficits Obama has generated.
Then maybe Bush shouldn't have fired them all. After all, we were losing hundreds of thousands of jobs when Bush was in office, and it wasn't until Obama and his policies that we finally turned things around.
You should be mad at Bush and praise Obama. Go ahead, say what you really want to say, "Oh, hail, King Obama". I know that's what you want to say. After all, once more the Democrat had to come clean up the mess the Republican left.
how poorly informed supporters are.
Says the person who doesn't understand how Social Security or budgets work.
I'll come back to what I always come back to, and what you simply cannot deny. The fact is, under Obama, we've cut the deficit in half, recovered every private sector job lost from the effects of the recession, grown GDP and have a booming stock market. No amount of partisan comments will change those facts.
But, I think I've grown tired of educating you. I might be back, I might not. At this point, we both know I taught you how Social Security works and we both know you have nothing left but distractions to avoid admitting the truths.
