“ Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

07:10: "[The Republican vision says even tho we can't afford] medicare/medicaid we can somehow afford $1 trillion in tax breaks for the wealthy. Think about that. In the last decade the average income of the bottom 90% of all Americans actually declined. Meanwhile the top 1 saw their income rise by an avg of more than $250k each. That's who needs to pay less taxes?! They want to give people like me a $200k tax cut that's paid for by asking 33 seniors each to pay $6000 more in health costs."

6:51 Republicans want to basically kill kids with down-syndrome.Are you serious? Because if we don't cut the debt there will be no money for any of these programs because America will be bankrupt. This speech is just one in a long line of complaining about obama's own failures, crying like the crybaby he has become in the white house & the reason he won't be re-elected. Obama had 60 democrat senators & control of the house of representatives. Dream act? No. Tax hikes he wants on the wealthy? No.

@nwoebcke It is not the government's money, it's whoever earns it.

@henryjjohnson3 Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't blisteringly clear in my comment. I will clarify for those who can't apply context for themselves; The two wars he's *gotten us into* and the one that he's *still got us in despite his campaigning entirely on the premise of immediate withdrawal once he took office.* Is that better for you? Do you understand the context of my sentence now? Oh, and soon Syria will be number 4,.. or 3 and 1 for the mentally challenged, like yourself.

The democrats took-over congress in the 2006 elections. During 2007 the US Deficit was ~ 200 Billion Dollars. In 2010, after 4 years of dumocrat rule in congress, the US Deficit rocketed to 1.5 TRILLION DOLLARS.

If is time Boys & Girls to get rid of oblama, Plus the TAX, SPEND & WASTE Congress and balance our budget, before we don't have a country.

No, Hyperbole...You're all wrong... The tax cuts were across the board...! ..This idea about the rich not paying their fair shake is liberal nonsense...And Obama calls anyone...any business making $250K..rich!...A NORMAL business may take in that much...MOST of which goes out in slaries, costs, rent, etc.,etc. It's the 'kids' ...no matter what their age...who 'fall' for the liberal line. Obama and Biden TOOK EVERY TAX BREAK THEY COULD...this year. Where's HIS sacrifice? Obama = THE PROBLEM

I think honestly we need to stop spending money on Tanks, weapons, bullets,planes, ships and end all of the wars, bring our men and women home from over seas, and let all Foreign Countries fight against them selves, without our help over in foreign countries. Keep our Military men,and women here at home in the USA,start taking care of the USA,and the American People First, concentrate on our families here in the USA. We could be saving billions, trillions on military stuff.
