That's the smart liberals. The stupid liberals just DON'T want anyone (but them) to ride high horses, but don't suggest any alternative.

QuoteThis is an interesting but mis-leading statement.
So is posting a story and heralding it as great news, when really all it says is that you are adding less to a massive debt than expected.

I just was pointing out that this debt story is blown way up. While the number is big it is a small compared to the GNP.
Also in there I hoped one would see that the Bush cuts have actually increased revenues (as have evey other tax cut) Not right away but, after the economy get crankin money flow increases. It has worked every time it has been tryed.

Benefitting from a statement has nothing to do with introspection. Here is some introspection for you....I am not here to win arguments. From that follows that I don't care if I could benefit from it.
I know they are very tough concepts to grasp....

Excellent, that just means you are adding less to your massive debt than expected. You are right, that is great news....
This is an interesting but mis-leading statement. While the dept is big from a numbers perspective (and believe me I am not condoning US debt for mulitple reasons) but it is not even close to the worst it has been when compared to the US GNP. It is small and managable when looking at it from that direction.
However, that is not an excuse for out of control spending.
I think you mean the DEFICIT, not the DEBT. You do know the difference, right? The GDP / GNP has an indirect relationship to the debt, but annual budgets rely on GNP info so they know how much is going to or has come in, in the way of tax revenue.

The debt is the worst is has ever been by a longshot.
Clinton in Jan, 1993: approx 4T
Clinton in Jan, 2001: approx 5.5T
Now: Approx 8.4T
Bush has doubled the increases under Clinton in just 5.5 years. Projected it will triple Clinton's increase in 8 years.
Canada's dollar, which is highly tied to the US Dollar, is making huge grounds largely due to this phenominon.
The debt skyrocketed under Reagan and Bush1 in teh 12 years, CLinton actually leveled this off and then Bush2 took office and it resumed its vertical ascent once again.
http://www.cedarcomm.com/~stevelm1/usdebt.htm
Clinton was the first president in 40 years to realize and leave a surplus, and not a small one. Like 230B as I recall. The annual surplus directly affects the national debt.
If the conservatives who keep posting this assertion would take the time to understand the fiscal workings and the recent (25 years) who have done what to/for it, they might revert back to moral issues and leave this one alone.
The debt isn't manageable, however it can be reduced, but only by taxx increases for the rich and a great GNP/GDP.

Yep. Reality has a well-known liberal bias. A world where you can spend as much as you like and never have to pay it back is much nicer to imagine, even if reality isn't like that.

I agree!!!
My favorite way to pay down a debt is to spend less than what I'm taking in (something the US government isn't doing all that well with lately) and to take the difference and apply it towards my debts. Sure one can add to the government coffers by taxing their citizens more. But what ever happened to spending less?
Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

OK, aside from rhetoric, using my data, explain how we got where we are. Again, using history to exemplify better times, worse times, what measures got us there, etc........ or just keep the rhetoric going w/o reference to any data and NOT surprise me.

QuoteNote that cutting spending was not in the answer. LMFAO.
From the party that authored 25 years of runaway spending, I find that ironic.

QuoteOk so far we have documented in this series of arguments that though Clinton was a philandering fat headed boob, Bush has proven to be a fiscally flatulent ferret faced fuck.
True on both accounts, but the righties will attempt to transfer the former as being fault for the latter......

Agreed! Add to that more tax revenue by taxing people less and it works even faster!
