Re: Budget deficit drops to $435B
in the past we would always just have a war, but that seems to have changed; the wars we are in now are transparently unjust, never ending, and manufactured.

Interest on our debt is a huge part of the debt. I just pointed it out that he needs to get credit for decreasing the deficit.

Re: Budget deficit drops to $435B
interesting that the debt is printed out of thin air, and distributed to the rich, while the interest is paid by the commoner. It is a way to steal.

They are not great yet. It hasnt even been a decade since the great recession. Just saying. Look at things when he took over and look at them now. Yes the debt is greater. So is the stock market. Unemployment is less. The deficit is less.

Exhibit A for why our country is headed in such an awful direction. Seriously, the lack of an elementary understanding of economics is mind boggling. This thread is a perfect manifestation of how BO could get elected twice.
