Conservatism is easy to mock, just as has been done here.

U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK

The Outstanding Public Debt as of 05 Aug 2015 at 07:51:09 PM GMT is:
$ 1 8 , 1 5 5 , 1 3 2 , 0 0 8 , 1 6 2 . 6 3

The estimated population of the United States is 321,120,903
so each citizen's share of this debt is $56,536.75.

There's only two ways to balance a budget this far out of kilter.

a) Increase revenues (raise taxes)

b) Cut spending.

I know of no third way.

So this thread criticizes Obama for being fiscally conservative, sacrificing a tad of U.S. national pride, and saving $Billions in the process.
That may not be a formula you like. That's fine.
But let's tell it like it is. It is fiscal conservatism. And we fiscal conservatives appreciate Obama for it.

The GOP has never figured out that sending jobs to China increases the deficit. They may be new jobs, but they aren't new jobs here. In fact, they don't even understand why closing over 40,000 factories under Bush was such a big deal.

So who has been in office for 6 1/2 years, while wages have fallen and poverty has reached record levels?
