CBO report: deficit to plundge 642 billion

Superfreak said:
reality... when you continue to pretend that a BUDGET surplus is somehow going to change an ACTUAL deficit into a positive... you don't get to decide what constitutes fiscal responsibility. Especially when the guy you voted for twice has raised the nations debt by almost $5T in less than five years and you are proud of his accomplishments.

Whatever the fuck you want to call it (Bush himself called it a surplus), the surplus/deficit was a shade under $1.2T when Bush took office. And you voted for him. Twice.

I mean, let's assume just for giggles that Bush started with a deficit of $200,000. He increased it by $1T. Obama, by contrast, is on pace to have cut the deficit he inherited in half. I may not be a rocket surgeon, but even I know that increaseing the deficit by a factor of 6 is slightly worse than cutting the deficit in half.

Look, we can all have a nice debate about whether a $600 billion deficit is something to celebrate or denigrate, but let's not pretend that Obama didn't cut the deficit in half (true) but instead increased it to double Bush (not true). OK, sweetheart?

nice sentiment...


Superfreak said:
So after Obama raised the deficit he then cut it in half. Ok douche bag.

Again, you want to use the crisis year deficit and pretend that it was the norm under Bush. Typical leftwing nut BS.

But I am sorry...that's a big ol negatory good buddy...hateful Righties can't have a nice debate.

Insane is pretending that cutting it to double Bush's average is somehow magically delicious because it is half of Bush's last year, if you include over $200 Billion of Obama's Stimulus as the CBO does...

Reality: when you've overspent your predecessor's last 8 years in 3, you aren't allowed to claim "fiscal responsibility"...

No...insane is pretending that deficit reduction during the Obama presidency isn't a good thing.


We told you partisan clowns that once the recession was over, the deficit would be coming down...and VOILA!


But then, I do have to consider the partisan clown I am responding to.

With respect, you clearly have no idea what is fueling the stock market. And by stating that it's the Feds actions is economic reality it does not mean one hates Obama.

I'm open to hearing your perspective however. What do you believe is the driving force behind the market reaching an all time high?

Whatever...what is hateful is that YOU can't admit that deficit reduction under Obama is a good thing.

They're like Mean Girls. You know the kind who if someone mentions another girl lost some weight, will be all like

"Pfft, I sure didn't notice!"

"How can you tell?!"

"Whatever, I can't stop staring at her cankles!"

"And is it possible her nose got even bigger?!"

Whatever? Christi asked why Obama wasn't getting credit for the stock market. Are we not supposed to respond to her? Should we not answer because giving the correct answer would be deemed hateful?

If you don't like that she asked the question post to her not to ask the question. Don't get mad that people respond to her.

And you can't admit that deficit reduction under the Republican leadership of the House of Representatives is a good thing. That makes you hateful.

No, its like the girl was 140lbs in 2008... ballooned to 340lbs in 2009... then down to 290lbs in 2013 and you pretending she has lost a lot of weight since 2008.

Y-E-S...Cherry picking one particular fact while ignoring the good news from the OP that the deficit is coming down is hateful.

Dearest Zappa, Christy asked a question regarding the market. I answered that question. She then asked a follow up question and I answered that. They were not in regard to the OP. They were in regard to why Obama was not getting credit for the market. If you aren't going to pay attention to the entire thread, then do put the plug back in your ass so the rest of us don't get bogged down in your bullshit.

I know I have seen him be really stumped. I love the idea of him calling up Cawacko and claiming to have great seats for the 49'er game and then they are in the nosebleed section but both of them think they are the best seats ever! I think they are wearing matching earmuffs like these:
