State of the Union Address

Increased debt, bigger govt. rising unemployment, bogus war in Iraq,

Again, results don't matter to you with an R in front of their name.

See, you really don't know the data, growing GDP, declining unemployment, rising labor force, declining misery index and the alternative was Kerry

The reasons I listed were enough not to vote for Bush. However, results don't matter to you. You're dismissed as just having Obama Deranged Syndrome while at the same time having Bush Worship Syndrome.

The reasons you listed were wrong and the data proves it

What about the Perry record on debt another guy you have said you'd vote for:

From 2001 to 2010, state debt alone grew from $13.4 billion to $37.8 billion, according to the Texas Bond Review Board. That's an increase of 281 percent. Over the same time, the national debt rose almost 234 percent, with two wars, two tax cuts and stimulus spending.

Seems to me like you vote for increasing debt on epic scales.

No I'm not. Rising debt, bigger govt., and more unemployment. I lived through it, you obviously had your head in the sand.

South Carolina's Sixth District Congressman, Jim Clyburn, seems to be asleep during the State of the Union address.

Obviously you better contact the Bureau of Labor Statistics and tell them their numbers are wrong.

Then what exactly where you asking when you posted the following as it was related to the claims of spending cuts for tax increases. Apparently you don't even remember what you are posting.

Apparently I remember more than you do.


I was not asking you anything.....This is what you floated:

Conservative said:
not that I disagree with you but what does any of this have to do with the excessive spending and the massive expansion of govt? When will spending ever be addressed and cut with the real role of the Federal govt. resurfacing?

Conservative said:
But it has everything to do with what I said and what is going on. SS and Medicare have no business on budget and being spent on items other than SS and Medicare. LBJ put it there to pay for the Vietnam War and every Congress and Administration since has used it as a slush fund. Now it has trillions in unfunded liabilities and like all liberals you kick the can down the road never addressing the real problems.

No, you brought up Gore, and I said you have his context wrong, to which you went back to LBJ. Please try to focus. :coffeepap
 
Conservative said:
If Bush had added 4.6 trillion to the debt like Obama has he would have almost doubled it in 3 years, that is my point.

Your "point" is specious. All things being equal Bush doubled the debt. And had could he run for a third term you would have voted for him again over the Democratic nominee.

Just going by your record and statements.

You vote for candidates that have proportionately higher increases in debt.

No President in U.S. history has generated the debt in three years that Obama has generated. you can stop playing the game now as I know you aren't going to vote to re-elect him. No business owner or former business owner would ever do that
 
Conservative said:
Now I know you are smarter than you appear in this post, debt is 100% of our yearly GDP. Your numbers posted are irrelevant and you know it. we pay debt service on the debt, not the percentage change
Click to expand...

Uhmm bright eyes we are talking about increasing the debt not debt as a % of GDP.

And the guys you vote for increase it more.

For example Bush pretty much doubled the debt.

Obama has not done that.

So Obama increasing the debt by 4.6 trillion dollars is a good thing because it is up only 40%? You ran a business?

Bush increased the debt 4.9 trillion dollars in 8 years or 600 billion a year and that is worse than 1.5 trillion a year? You ran a business?

4.9 trillion in 8 years bad
4.6 trillion in 3 years Disastrous

What is a disaster: We have a conservative/liberal government that is corrupt, and there are no laws in place to stop their corrupt behaviors now, or in the future.

So no matter who or what party holds the controlling reign in Washington, we all will continue to be their never-ending source of money to forever support their lifestyles.

Conservative/Liberal Washington elected officials - and their cronies - control the language in the tax code that allows for the continued raping of America.

They have unbridled authority to spend as much as they wish, grow government as much as they wish...and both conservatives and liberals are equally guilty.

Don't disagree with you on your statement. The problem is that we have a debt today that is 100% of GDP and requests for more spending. Obama has made things worse, had his chance and now needs to be replaced. If the Republican delivers similar results he too will be replaced in 2016 and I would support it provided the alternative is better.
