So mat-ty, do you believe it's time for a tax cut? From what I've heard, Representative Paul Ryan thinks so. How are we going to reduce the deficit and begin addressing our debt problem by bringing in even less revenue? |

President Obama’s 2013 budget would add $3.5 trillion to annual deficits through 2022, according to a new estimate from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). It also would raise the deficit next year by $365 billion, according to the nonpartisan office. The CBO estimate is in sharp contrast to White House claims last month that the Obama budget would reduce deficits by $3.2 trillion over the next decade. That's an annual deficit difference between Obamamath and CBOmath of six trillion seven billion dollars per year in just one decade ... and we all know that almost every forecast any administration makes ends up being busted.
I can't understand why the brighter half of the Obama groupies here support this administration. He will seal this nation's fate if reelected. |

Take a look at the two posts from the two conservatives above. Notice the use of fear to make their argument..."we are F##ked", "seal this nation's fate". One can choose to live in fear or not, I choose not to....carry on. |

Can't but note the use of the conclusive word "worse" substituted for the numerically comparative term "more" in the second paragraph. Nothing like non-partisan reporting from that fringe paper.
Also, their own source undermines the term "worse." To wit, '''CBO found that by 2016 deficits as a share of the economy would be below 3 percent — a key milestone of fiscal sustainability. It found that after implementing the President’s Budget, debt held by the public will decrease and then stabilize as a share of the economy, also a key indicator of improving fiscal health,' Mr. Zients wrote."
Sounds like "better" to me. _________________ Support Your Sport. Join US Windsurfing!

I remember your boy Cheney saying that deficits don't matter. Also, if things are so fooked, how come my stocks are going up? Especially my Apple stock that I paid $77.00 each for...(sorry, I just love saying that) _________________ /w\ |

I've have since Jan 2009, and Ive enjoyed the ridiculous returns in the capital markets, as Windoggie stated above. The Apple growth machine which has taken it to the largest, and soon to be most profitable company in the WORLD, has happened during Obama's term. There is NO way it could happen in the type of world you negative right wingers describe each day. |

Eh, doesn't it bother you that the GOP gives platitudes to job creation when, by great measure across all levels of GOP control, limiting or extinguishing abortion rights is their collective stamp? At least Santorum has been upfront about his agenda -as repulsive as most people find it. But are you willing to embrace the push toward the abrogation of rights of all people? Please note, I'm unaware of a single law that establishes "personhood" rights to a zygote, so even if you believe "zygotes are people, too" I ask you respond outside of that narrow exclusion. _________________ Support Your Sport.
