for Republicans, when a Democrat is in power. and for Democrats, when a Republican is in power. the party in power is always more than happy to spend spend spend and kick the debt can down the road. the only difference between the parties is that Dems prefer to spend slightly more on social programs, whereas Reps prefer to spend more on defense programs. but there's never a call by the party in power to reduce spending because money is what makes their world go around. it's always when the other party is in power that the debt becomes this overwhelming concern that must be addressed immediately.

Obama isn't the only one that has to deal with it. The Republicans control the house and have filibuster ability in the Senate. They absolutely must accept tax increases and if they don't, you can forget about deficit reduction and that won't be a failure on Obama's part. It will be a failure on the Republicans' part. Obama is already willing to make cuts to social programs, it is well past time for the Republicans to move across their line in the sand over taxes. It will only become crippling if the US starts having problems finding people/countries that are willing to loan us money and that is a long, long ways away.
Maybe you don't understand the question. When does the debt become crippling to the nation? 20 trillion? 25 trillion? 30 trillion? 35 trillion? 40 trillion. I think President Obama fails to realize this.
the way NPR put it this morning, the GOP gambled and lost. although Obama offered them pretty generous deals on both the debt and health care, they rejected it because they were banking on the fact that between unemployment and the bad economy, they would be able to win the election, and not have to compromise at all. they gambled and they lost.
The Republicans agreed to tax hikes. President Obama came back with 400 million in additional tax cuts and the deal fell apart. An Obama failure. The President's Presidency will be considered a failure if he doesn't stop spending and curb the debt and deficit. He promised to cut the deficit by the end of his first term in half. A failure on his part.
Even without the context of the (presumably Schapes) post this is responding to, I found this to be hilarious...
An Obama failure on health care was not including the Republicans. It was passed with a Democrat majority in both the House and Senate. Not one Republican vote. I would love to see the link to the deals he offered them on both the debt and health care.
So why worry about it all? Why not double the spending of the government? Why not have 2 trillion in deficit spending every year? Maybe it is a failure of President Obama to not realize it doesn't matter how much we owe. 100 trillion - no problem? I would think as the debt grows - so does the amount of interest the country has to pay. So, that could be money used elsewhere.
Yes, now that the election has been won the President can unveil Obamacare's secret death panel provisions. Finally there will be a curb on healthcare spending.
I'd say commie is a better descriptor for the borg. What with all the renaming of things and suspension of individuality.
That is correct. I should have put elsewhere, a winner was the American people. They didn't reward extortion. Had Romney won this election, the Dems would have been mighty tempted to follow suit and spend the next 4 years emulating what the Republicans did -- that is, trying to hobble the POTUS and prevent him, and the country, from succeeding.
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=rRY5waZ4IbE&desktop_uri=/watch?v=rRY5waZ4IbE President Obama must fail to realize the seriousness of the debt. This video says the US pays 500 million dollars in interest payments every day. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=QDgxatLjc_Q&desktop_uri=/watch?v=QDgxatLjc_Q My assumption is you are telling me since President Obama has failed to do anything about the debt. The above won't be how it is played out?
No they did not. Boehner was the only one in the House that agreed to the deal. Cantor was opposed to the deal from the start and he was using the agreement to whip up the Tea Partiers to replace Boehner as Speaker. We've linked the articles before and you claim to have read them, so you should know this.
I think the GOP can also kick itself for the way it has basically forced Latinos (who, with their emphasis on tradition and the family were at one point solidly in the GOP camp) into the Democratic tent with the harsh anti-immigration rhetoric of the TEA partiers and the likes of Sheriff Arpaio. well done.
Would love to see them again! Thanks the problem is with President Obama's Dream Act - a failed policy (which ICE agents are suing the administration) the President should take the border patrol off of the border. No reason to have the Border Patrol or TSA agents check passports at the border, if everyone gets a free pass through the failed policy of the Dream Act. The Dream Act was a bribe to Latino voters. So a failure of a policy since the President failed to realize it was a bribe.
Find them yourself, you lazy waste of space. Seriously, if you are just going to rehash discussions that we've already had then Ismitje just needs ban you from this forum.
