Why do the dependent elderly and the poor people get the blame for the debt and no one seems to think the trillion dollar wars, banker bailouts and foreign aid have anything to do with it? I agree that there needs to be massive cuts, but I think the focus should be on cutting military waste, corporate and foreign welfare instead of trying to blame grandma and some homeless guy. I know the entitlements system needs to be reformed, but I'll never support that effort until I see the other cuts 1st.
Obama is so correct--he has a one term proposition. He has spent more than all the rest of America's presidents put together. People forget that the more government spends on programs and giveaways, the more freedom it takes away from the people and the more regulation you have to live with. Do you want a nanny state to rival the old Soviet Union or do you want the freedom to start your own business, make and spend your own money, own your own gun, and control your own life?
I call this five dimensional chess, and I am tired of it. Put your graphs up, put your policy up, but I am going to tell you what it is on each level, and we are going to make the chess board easier to comprehend.
Well no shit Jim. We had mortgage meltdown, we had a drastic automotive bailout, we had a huge bank bail out. This is all unprecedented and has no bearing on previous recessions. If you knuckleheads have a solution that will work over night then spread the wealth otherwise it is just politics as usual.
The debt limit is the cap. It isn't being adhered to. Why would an amendment be any different? I like DeMint, he's wrong on this and foreign military issues. Less Empire, more liberty!

If one buys the assumption that the President actually has a major impact on the economy then you must admit that Obummer is responsible for the poor performance.In point of fact he had a majority of members in the congress and the senate. Personally I don't buy that assumption. I believe the fault lies directly with the Federal Reserve banking Cartel.
The Federal Reserve has printed money w/o restraint for more than the last decade and destroyed the value of our currency,causing rising prices and reducing capital for investment.......Etc......profligate government spending further reduces capital that could be spent on labor. Obummer however is responsible for continuing the spending and rewarding the banksters who caused it all.He was obviously placed in his position to continue the STATUS QUO.
@Richdelux Have to cut spending across the board. Republicrats and Demublicans won't give, they'll keep kicking the can down the road. Military aggression needs to be stopped and Social spending has to be cut and hopefully phased out. The damage was done by the bailouts, quantitative easing (read inflation), TARP, expansion of war and government. If you want a current example: Obama's insisting on Libya without congress' approval. Costs us hundreds of millions, potentially billions so far.
@Richdelux Democrats have controlled both houses of Congress from January of 2007 through January of this year. Obama has "ruled" since January of 2009. This awful recession lies at their feet.
The Republican congress, which is only the House, has only had power for the last few months. It is already holding the line on the debt limit, something which would never have happened under Nancy Pelosi. Strip the RATS of all their power and a real solution becomes possible.
First, no one disputes the fact that every president for the last 100 years has borrowed money and helped put us in debt--including Reagan, although it's worth remembering that Reagan had a Demoncratic Congress that inhibited a lot of what he might have done. Second, while the recession started under Bush, Obama had control of the entire Congress for two years and put us further into debt and took over more of our lives than all the rest of the presidents put together.
it is going to Obama's Plan to destroy this country... and force on the American People a new government that is no resemblance to what we once knew...
When are people going to learn - BarackO is full of bulls**t !!!

**How is this Obama's fault? What about the republican congress?**
Let's review the facts:
- Democrats have controlled the Executive Branch for 2 1/2 years now (since Jan. 2009).
- Democrats have held a majority in the U.S. Senate for 4 1/2 years now (since Jan. 2007).
- Republicans have controlled the House (only the House) for 5 1/2 months (since January of the current year, 2011).
Nice attempt to make an argument rooted in lies, though.
