The White House is now ‘bragging’ about 20 billion in proposed budget cuts for 2011, while simultaneously creating the largest deficit in the history of the U.S.
I found three pennies in my car the other day! Someone give me a Nobel Peace Prize!!
I guess the recession is over now.

I fail to see your point.
No one liked Bush that much. I’m willing to bet that the majority who voted for him here were voting against Kerry, who would have undoubtedly had an even greater deficit. Lo and behold, we elect a Democrat and the deficit balloons within the year.
Blaming shit on Bush isn’t an argument. It is basically all you’ve done in your posts in PWI. Kindly comment on CURRENT events or GTFO.
Dude, he’s driving a truck full of Federal Notes down the highway full speed with the windows down.

Yeah, that’s sort of what happened.
Actually, in 2007, the deficit was on track to being neutralized by 2012. Guess what’s changed since 2007. I’m sure Bush decided to sandbag the first 7 years and then REALLY fuck things up in 2008 so the Democratic elect would look even worse, huh?
This graph has pictures, so it might be easier for you to figure out. Sorry, I couldn’t find any with John Stewart sound bytes so you’ll have to try real hard. Here’s a hint, 3.2 is LESS THAN 7.3.
Here’s another one with the 10 year projections:
Funny how the White House isn’t even projecting a deficit in any year equal to or less than the highest Bush deficit. I guess ol’ W probably spent his last months in office hiding phone bills around the Oval Office and pre-ordering pay per view movies so Obama would look really bad, huh?

“On track” if one could simply stop the business cycle, or if his policies actually had lead to “Sustained economic growth” as he was predicting (see your own link).
But were his predictions accurate? Was he really “on track?” There was something that started in December of 2007… what was that again?
Current deficits and debt were largely inherited and have further ballooned by the need to fight the current downturn, leaving the current administration with a herculean task. I agree that this task should be addressed. But to pretend that any administration could simply fix the incredible mess that was left to them within a year is pure ignorance.

The most reasonable post on this so far. I listened to a professor from harvard the other day on the daily show describing that the problems obama walked into were worse than any since FDR. Someone also descried that Kennedy was very similar to obama in his first year. Things will hopefully make giant leaps in one direction or the other this year.
I was in the USA during the election, and could tell that all the Obama fans are bound to be disappointed…
I’m really surprised that anyone left or right thinks that one president in one year can undo the work of the biggest imbecile/war criminal you guys ever elected.
Do right-wings have a better idea how to fix an unsustainable economy (that happens to be world’s largest), during the world recession induced by a mad man, while fighting two wars, in a totally corrupt representative system, so that you can’t even get your own party to support you?
Thought so.
Too bad McCain didn’t win. I’m sure Sarah Palin would do better, after he’d had a heart attack.

How you fix an unsustainable economy is let it fall. Reagan did this and is known by anyone with a working brain as one of the greatest presidents in modern time.
McCain wouldn’t have done any better, most people who voted for him did so because he was the lesser of two evils. I am just happy that this inflationary depression we are going to enter into is going to be under the watchful eye of a progressive liberal. hopefully after its all done we will put every left wing nut job in the a mental health facility until they get better. Maybe teach them some basic economics while we are at it.
Obama has done more drone strike in Pakistan in one year then bush did in his last. Obama’s deficits are greater then anything Bush ever did. Bush did stimulus packages first, look what it created. Obama is threatening Iran with sanctions(does this seem similar to what Clinton did in Iraq?), sending special forces/shooting missiles into Yemen(without a declaration of war that is a war crime.) Its amazing how many liberal love Bush 3.
The bigger the deficits grow the more money is pumped into the system, the more money pumped into the system the greater the inflation grows. By allowing this man to do what he is doing the left has stolen the elderlies retirement and made the poor even worse off.
Any more talking points you would like me to strike down?

Hmm… What did his budgets look like? Were there deficits? Debt? Did you like his chairman of the federal reserve?

The deficits where created to destroy the USSR. There is a big difference between going into debt for war and using the debt to create temp jobs. Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later. - Benjamin Franklin
Perhaps your school failed to teach you about the cold war?
Reagan’s deficits where not ment to continue after the war.
Not a fan of the federal reserve, I will give Volker his dues tho he did raise interest rates when needed, tho I suspect Reagan was a huge influence on increasing interest rates.
The highest the debt to GDP got under Reagan was 53.1%.

Uhhhh, why is that funny. Whatever the hell you think about him the man has talked one on one with some of the most intelligent and influential people in the world. He has talked with presidents, foreign leaders, cutting edge scientists, the worlds best authors, and more journalists than you could count. Who gives a fuck if i listened to a harvard professor on a show that is partly about comedy, i still heard what he had to say.
Harvard teaches Keynesian, best to ignore their economic advice.

Yep, you just keep framing yourself as the guy who gets his political perspective from “The Daily Show”. That’s awesome.

Please… 5 out of 6 articles posted here come from fox news, the most ridiculously biased news channel on television. At least the daily show has the courtesy to call itself “fake news”.
And again, just because someone is on a comedy show doesn’t change the fact that they are who they are. A lot of very smart things are said on that show.

Again, with the “Fox News” line, you seem to relish in confusing “News” with “Entertainment”. When you say “Fox News” is biased, what are you talking about specifically? Five of six articles? That’s impressive. Please post 3.
Yes, the “Daily Show” calls itself “fake news”, yet you feel compelled to use it as a primary source for your political cues. That’s as fascinating as it is entertaining.

Fox news is the highest rated news channel out there. If you gave it a chance and stopped listening to stewart you would find that their news shows are very fair and balanced. Why not try watching their news for a week.
