[W:1422] Federal Deficit Soars

Great question, didn't expect an answer, did you? This group of liberals is great at placing blame but never good at accepting responsibility. Obama did such a great job that he took the 10.6 trillion dollar debt and converted it to a 20 trillion dollar debt. Focus is always going to be on Bush or any Republican to divert from the Democratic Failures and radicalism

I will get the usual answer soon Im sure. There is nothing new to be said in this debate.
 
What exactly did Obama do to clean up the mess? And what else happened in 2010?

Obama's presidential years were 2008-2015. Talking about everything Obama did would be a very lengthy discourse, and it's probably best explained by looking at American confidence. Suffice to say that everything he did gave confidence to the American people again, and investors. Here is a stock market graphic. The top dashed line is Obama, the lowest dashed line is Bush.DowJonesbyPresident.JPG
 
Continue to notice how radicals always divert from the thread topic and totally ignore the past when bashing the President. No where in any posts is debt service addressed and no where in this discuss is the Trump actual budget being address nor the results being generated. Seems the U.S. never existed prior to January 21, 2017 and the Obama term never happened.

It is obvious that the Democrats never took Congress in 2007

It is obvious that the Obama stimulus never happened

It is obvious that Democrats continue to control the Congress and the WH with President Hillary

it is obvious that Obama never generated 9.3 trillion added to the debt

Truly interesting how liberal honesty isn't recognized by U.S. govt. official sources and the U.S. Taxpayers are paying debt service on the data in those official sites.

That's the false narrative you attempt deploy when discussing employment data... as if the events between 2008 and 2017 never happened unless it's to highlight peaks in unemployment, debt, or deficits.

It is obvious that the Democrats never took Congress in 2007

It's obvious the GOP didn't take the House in 2010. Debt has increased by more than $7 trillion while under the control of the GOP.

It is obvious that the Obama stimulus never happened

It is obvious that by the time the stimulus was in full effect, the labor market had bottomed out.

it is obvious that Obama never generated 9.3 trillion added to the debt

What about Congress? Oh wait, i get it... only bring up Congress when condemning Democrats. When the economy is doing good during a Republican President and Democrat controlled Congress, it happened in spite of Congress. When the economy is doing good during a Democrat President and a Republican controlled Congress, it occurs in spite of the President. Such mental gymnastics might impress the fellas at the local adult daycare center... but it only serves as a reminder of dishonesty here.

Truly interesting how liberal honesty isn't recognized by U.S. govt. official sources and the U.S. Taxpayers are paying debt service on the data in those official sites.

Do yourself a favor and stop talking about debt service....
 
Better get help reading the chart and 2019/2020 hasn't happened yet. GOP took Congress in 2015. Bush didn't have spending authority after March 2009

Stunning ignorance of data and research

This is funny how weak of a mind does it take to look at this chart and say it was Obama s fault and it was the hate party that brought down the deficit. It's very easy for us Democrats to know why the right voted in Scum Bag, by what comes out of their mouth. This is straight out funny.
 
You're delusional, dishonest, and a hack.
This is a real bright group here they look at the chart and say Obama was a failure and all their idiots did great for this country, You have to be blind ignorant to look at these charts and see the lies that they see.
 
Re: Federal Deficit Soars

There is one advantage to this , we know what weak minds that we are dealing with, simply look at any post from the right wing hate group and you would swear they were 10 year olds.
 
Re: Federal Deficit Soars

I know now how much the left hates seeing a deficit and adding to the debt and just how much of an understanding they have of the line items in the budget. Just a reminder here are the line items in the budget with revenue and expenses. Really too bad that the radical left is not only civics challenged but also accounting and economics challenged

Income Taxes
Corporate Taxes
Total Tax Revenue

Employment and general retirement
Unemployment insurance
Other retirement


Excise taxes

Other:
Estate and gift taxes
Customs duties
Miscellaneous receipts
Total other

Total Revenue


National defense
International affairs
General science, space, and technology
Energy
Natural resources and environment
Agriculture
Commerce and housing credit
Transportation
Community and regional development
Education, training, employment and social services
Health
Medicare
Income security
Social security
Veterans benefits and services
Administration of justice
General Government
Net interest

then the reality of Interest expense

Now the truth be known we cannot let actual treasury data get in the way of the leftwing ideology and narrative

I wish the left had more respect for the millions of Americans who voted Trump into office, but they don't.

I don't support people powered by their hatred of just about everything. I seem to remember when this pig got elected every time he came on stronger with his ugly hate the more the right followed him. Tell me again that I should respect their vote. You put this countries biggest threat in office. What you need a standing ovation, your the problem not the solution. What a laugh.

Democrats claim republicans are a threat to America. Republicans claim the democrat agenda represents a serious threat to America. I agree with the view that the unpatriotic, leftist liberal, communistic, socialistic, hedonistic, and atheistic democrat agenda is the real threat.

There are others who agree with you, including Obama's preacher, the Rev. Wright, who boldly declared "I don't say God bless America, I say Godddamn America" The right good rev. neglected to mention that the US government under the direction of democrats awarded him nearly 1 million dollars in federal grant money with no strings attached. When I learned that I found myself also exclaiming, "...Goddamn .... American waste and corruption." We are giving black racist quacks money to propagate their anti-American black racist anarchist agenda.

you think that is bad, the right wing doesn't want to pay wartime tax rates for their alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror.

Nice dodge.

AND Nice distortion of reality and actual results. You will notice that the left doesn't understand context when posting charts and in many cases don't even know how to read the charts. Pretty charts that don't show the true results of the Obama term, low annual GDP growth, record numbers of part time for economic reasons and discouraged workers, massive debt, 9.3 trillion, a failed stimulus that didn't create the taxpayers promised. Propping up failure is what they left does as they even fail to recognize it

No the Nazi , hate party that is bigoted, chauvinistic, Islamophobic, cruel, anti American, anti constitutional,anti poor that hate immigrants, fake Christians. Who become the only party and president in history that is supporter by the Nazi's, white supremacist and kkk and the most organized hate group this country has ever seen . We can all make lists, and my is a hell of a lot closer to truth then yours, the only thing your showing with the Commie Socialist **** is , that without a doubt you have no clue what either mean. My list is longer .

That funny while you hate party leader says their are nice people in the KKK , the white supremacists and the Nazi party, and he says that men should walk right up to women they don't know and grab them by the *****, he says they like that kind of stuff. What a pig.
 
Re: Federal Deficit Soars

The true Obama story -,by the end of his presidency , Business had highest profits in history, the fastest rate of increase of profit in history, and the highest percentage of gross that was profit in history, one of the biggest decrease in unemployment during a presidency in history and brought us back from another financial disaster created by Bush the Baby killer and his parties policies. After the right wing all but destroyed this country and it economy. Big difference though , is there is no distortion or lies on my list , yours at best will be bigoted half truths.

Cannot help but notice how the left ignores the official data and always buys rhetoric from sources they want to believe, almost like they were family members defending their family's very poor economic performance and results. Seems like the reality that Obama inherited a Democratic Congress, a stimulus program almost day one, saw employment drop 4 million from the January employment numbers, and never got back to pre recession employment until 2014 isn't of interest to the left but is of interest to the silent majority and the millions negatively affected by the poor Obama performance

we know how to read charts.

Nice dodge.

It does seem that the left when confronted with actual data runs and diverts to some other issue. Most have no clue as to what is going on in this country getting their news and developing their opinions for sites they want to believe.

You won't hear anyone talking about the line items in the budget showing over 500 billion in debt service for fiscal year 2018 or the Entitlement spending growth that created most of the 2018 deficit.

you also won't find the left ever posting official data showing that FIT revenue has grown every month vs. 2017 and that the GDP growth will exceed 3% this fiscal year.

You will never see the left celebrating the 3.7% Unemployment rate and the 4 million new taxpayers created since Trump took office.

There is a true loyalty to liberalism that I will never understand. The left seems to live in a dark world and trying to spread their liberal misery equally to everyone else

Im not really interested in placing blame or political games. What are we going to do moving forward?
