As I suspected.  He opted for the DODGE.


Didn't dodge your loaded question.  I answered it, I CLEARLY SAID NONE OF THEM, they are "ALL BAD".

Now answer my question, which President cut spending in your graphs?  C'mon, you can do it!  I have faith that you are capable of reading a graph.

So you have an excuse for Obama... what about Bill Clinton?
Republicans HATED Bill Clinton and were obsessed with the "blue dress" but they hated Clinton all the
way to the Bank$$$.

So who's up next... Bill's Wife Hillary!  And the GOP will hate Hillary all the way to the Bank$$$


Classic Boxy bobbing and weaving... did you take up boxing while in the Military???...
No excuse, just an explanation... But I guess Obama fan-boy Boxy isn't interested.

Just one line... not a difficult choice:

Would the debt be smaller if we had continued with the REP plan or the DEM plan???

Republicans Shut Down the Government for Nothing

Quoted Text
"With a deal to reopen the government apparently imminent Wednesday, it's worth
taking stock of what it was all for--the two and a half weeks without a fully functioning
federal government, the nonstop chaos on Capitol Hill, the tiptoeing to the brink of default."


"For Republicans, it was basically for nothing. The GOP will actually get less out of the final
deal being brokered than the party would have gotten had House conservatives never
staged their revolt on Obamacare. In fact, the drama is likely to end with Republicans
ceding policy concessions to Democrats."


It wasn't a total waste.  Americans have finally seen the true colors of the TeaBagger GOP. And
they will remember in November '14.

Ahh...finally a semi honest question.  

Well, there is one factor you left out, congress holds the purse strings.  Under Clinton, there was divided government with Republicans controlling congress for most of his presidency, the rate of spending was slowed.  Under Reagan, Democrats controlled Congress, resulting in an increase in the rate of spending, democrats that controlled Congress did nothing to slow the rate of spending.  Then you get to GWB, republicans control the Congress and the rate of spending EXPLODES.  Now we have Obama, the first two years, the Democrats control Congress, and the rate of spending EXPLODES.  Then at the mid terms, Americans come to their senses and want the brakes put on spending(along with other things), so they vote republicans to take control of the House - Obama spending orgy slows.

So in conclusion, it seems the best balance for government in terms of the rate of deficit spending is for republicans to control the Congress and a Democrat President.

Yes, it was still a loaded question.  You gave two choices that only span 33 years.  None of them was the most complete answer.

I guess that's all you can do when your "Obama is god" claim on him reducing the growth of the budget was shredded..
Now quick... go post something useless in the Zimmerman thread, it will make you feel better...

They did it to themselves..Passing a defund bill knowing it has no chance in the Senate was a complete waste of time.
The ACA was passed and signed.. If the long term goal was to get rid of it, the proper strategy was to send the ship on its way and wait for it to crash..
If you're right about the law, you jump and are the hero... If you are wrong about it, the pushback you get would be a lot less because people have short memories.

Just think of how good ObamaCare would be today if, once passed, both parties worked to make a
smooth transition into the program.
ObamaCare will struggle like any new program of this size, but it will be a permanent fixture in America's
future.  Why not make it a successful plan, and WORK TO CUT WASTE OR CORRUPTION in that system.
Instead the GOP Shoots Itself In The Foot and comes out a laughingstock.

Boehner is finished as speaker and should be...
Once it was obvious there were enough votes in the house to re-open the gov't (219 by last count), he should have brought it to the floor.
It was fools gold...If Obama and the Senate knew there wasn't enough votes to pass the bill, then negotiations would have had credence...
Peter King picked on up this pretty early...Boehner bluffed when everyone could see his hand...stupid...
