So assuming you're telling the truth about that figure (yeah, I know), how much of that $112,000 was from increased federal spending, and how much was due to decreased revenue caused by the Great Recession?

I bet you don't want to answer that question.

Wow - anger, bitching and moaning don't ever take a holiday, apparently. But Merry Christmas anyway!

Melon has no good answer to my question about Obama's debt, so he falls back on name calling.

Name calling? You need some help with your reading comprehension. Cry some more, boilerman - the entertainment value is priceless!

Deficits are also not a measurement of economic growth ... but Economic growth is clearly a topic Boilerman is frightened to talk about. He prefers to deflect to the deficit instead - which is ironic given his passionate support for the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation in history (the Bush Tax Cuts)...and given the fact that Obama has cut the deficit in half while growing spending at a smaller rate than any administration in over 50 years. But whatever. Republicans bust the budget and Democrats clean it up. Thats the cycle from the last 2 decades.

And that cycle is getting ready to turn again. John Boehner's first order of business in the new Congress is to give us a new CBO director that uses the same math that promised us the Bush Tax Cuts would yield 20 years of budget surpluses. People like Boilerman are big believers in it. We can look forward to some great budget magic acts in the near future. Residents of Kansas have already had a front row seat in their state.

Pj might want to review Keynesian economics.

The 2008 deficit was less than $500b, Obama ran the deficit to over 1.4t. He then brags about cutting it half to a level higher than any other president.

Here is a debt vs GDP chart. I understand that Liberals don't understand large numbers, but they should consider boning up on their math.

This is the first accurate post you have ever put up. I am an evil librul, and I have no idea what that equation means. Is it some right wing "trickle down" justification? Or is it just a guy that can't post a working link, but calls everyone else stupid?

Moar please.

Will any of you guys address the discussion of how we pay off our DEBT? Does the $112,000 in DEBT racked up by Obama even register with your guys, or possibly concern you guys? This is real money with real ramifications.

Deficits are also not a measurement of economic growth ... but Economic growth is clearly a topic Boilerman is frightened to talk about. He prefers to deflect to the deficit instead - which is ironic given his passionate support for the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation in history (the Bush Tax Cuts)...and given the fact that Obama has cut the deficit in half while growing spending at a smaller rate than any administration in over 50 years.
