What part are you not following on? If money is worth less and paychecks don't increase then it is a government caused issue. I'm not going through the whole process for you but what part specifically doesn't resonate with you?
NO, that isn't true of course. If paychecks don't increase that is most likely a problem caused by the private sector. Inflation is more controllable by the government. Not sure how you think inflation fits into our discussion though. It's pretty pretty mild for a very long time, so inflation isn't really a huge factor in anything.
Deficit and debt are not the same thing. We are in a debt crisis, the deficit is a smaller part of the problem. Try to keep up.
Kiddo. That makes no sense. Seriously, you need to focus up. Think things through before you say them. The deficit is how much more we add to the debt each year. You can't address one without addressing the other. Obviously.
No, we are talking about spending, not simple budgets. Spending in general is the problem and you want more taxes to cover the problem. THAT is what the discussion has involved.
You are not following the conversation. Go back to the start and try reading through it again maybe.
Dude, don't even try. Obamacare already has outlays being provided for and the total cost expectations first year are around 10 trillion, this is on top of current debt. There is no need for party apologism here, these are facts.
Kiddo, again, my figures were total outlays so your claims about Obamacare aren't relevant. But, no, very few of the provisions have kicked in so far.
Besides, while Obamacare will increase spending, it will increase revenues by more, so it reduces the deficit.
