Deficitmania - Obama vs. the Tea Party, pt. 1

This is a debate between Obama and a tea partier who insists we must have massive spending cuts right now. Obama say the Republicans had no problem when Reagan tripled the debt and Bush doubled it again. Cheney even said deficits don't matter. All of a sudden, tea partiers say they want spending cuts, but that would eliminate jobs and kill the recovery, as the economy stuggles to emerge from the crisis caused by the Republican deregulation of Wall Street. Obama also addresses the violent rhetoric that is tearing our country apart.

It is amazing that Republicans have convinced Tea Partiers that they must cut spending on jobs in recession, because the deficit is more important than jobs. But, they also say they can cut taxes because tax cuts don't cost money, they just let people keep more of their own money. By this logic, we could all pay zero taxes and it would cost the government nothing to operate. It is absurd. Tax cuts are just disguised spending that Republicans have added to the national debt to bankrupt America.

@tekno2600 You're an idiot. "By this logic, we could all pay zero taxes and it would cost the government nothing to operate." -Did you even think about that before you typed it? What on earth makes you think that ANYONE would imply that this idea goes to zero? Another blatantly incorrect smear from a dumb liberal.

If you can, please explain why you think that rich people are obligated to pay a higher % of their income than everyone else.

There are so many flaws in your reasoning... SO MANY...

oh, and one more thing. Obama's math has been proven false alot of times, he admits that his "shovel ready jobs were not as shovel ready as he thought. (laughter). and he even jokes saying we've created over 1 million jobs (laughter) He lies and everyone knows it.

all throughout history, it is nothing but a long chain of abuses of centralized power, or small govts. becoming large and then abuses of power take place. While we see this we also see the necesity of a government to keep us safe from crimes and invading armies ect. ect. What we have now looks nothing like what was intended for us.

We need to adress our debt, because all of the people who hold it hate this country, and would like to see it destroyed. We aren't for getting rid of all the taxes. We are for mainly, but not limited to, cutting the corporate income tax, I believe the second highest IN THE WORLD!!! and cutting all the regulations on both large and small business alike. Oh, and America isn't a "democracy" it's a republic. We fear the government from growing too large as it has done because (cont.)
