I didn't say it did, but the curious thing is that you will spend nary a keystroke criticizing Obama for his obvious fiscal recklessness. What is it that you think we're getting for all this deficit spending?

In June 2012, CBO summarized the cause of change between its January 2001 estimate of a $5.6 trillion cumulative surplus between 2002 and 2011 and the actual $6.1 trillion cumulative deficit that occurred, an unfavorable "turnaround" or debt increase of $11.7 trillion. Tax cuts and slower-than-expected growth reduced revenues by $6.1 trillion and spending was $5.6 trillion higher. Of this total, the CBO attributes 72% to legislated tax cuts and spending increases and 27% to economic and technical factors. Of the latter, 56% occurred from 2009 to 2011

Complete bullshit.

We discussed the topic in depth back in this thread about Rex Nutting's disingenuous article from a few months ago:

This has nothing to do with the CBO, unless you want to take their reports out of context. I suggest that you read the posts in the thread to which I linked if you actually want to gain a better understanding of this issue.

Cap'n, goddammit! It's horseshit, not bullshit!

Ok. I'm cranky. Trying to quit smoking.

Still, it's horseshit, dammit!

Oops -- sorry, you're probably right!

Either one is damned good for your garden, though.

Always happy to clear up misconceptions and debunk bullshit articles.

not even a nice try

You write in your choice, knowing full well your guy can't win. You do realize your vote is completely pointless don't you? Why not just write in Bozo The Clown or Rex the Wonder Dog? Or for that matter, just stay home and pretend you voted. The result will be the same.

I understand the refusal to discuss what Romney wont discuss either, and the almost instant willingness to discuss Obies short side which we already know all about.

Ryans Path To Prosperity, is in question too, which by the way doesnt balance the budget ubtil hes 70 years old and most of us are dead ... but that pearl of prosperity gets bypassed as well, and directed back to the current admin .. and the issues we already know all about

question what we know all about, but not the issues we know nothing about ?

apparently, understanding is used rather loosely.

my vote isnt useless. Im exercising my voting rights.

a vote for anybody but x,y or z is useless when the x.y,and z's represent the same thing youre voting against, and in this particular case, even more than youre voting against.

I vote with my beliefs and morals, outcome be damned. Im true to myself, not a partisan, political idea.

The End
