What most people don't get is the problem is uncontrolled spending and growth of the Federal government.

The Federal government has almost doubled from the $2.1 trillion we spent at the beginning of the Bush Administration to the $3.9 trillion today.

I don't disagree!
When the USA backs a $2 billion Export-Import Bank to Brazil and then obama says the USA will be Brazil's best customer??? HoW f...king stupid!
So not only does he take $2 billion out of USA Treasury to back the loan to buy equipment to develop Brazil's oil so the USA CAN BUY Brazilian OIL!

These village idiots NOT only take tax money BUT INSURE reduced Federal Tax income form USA oil development companies that are PAYING the taxes to develop Brazilian OIL!
 
Also I want YOU conservatives that STILL contend "Bush spent like a drunken sailor.."
That "Clinton surplus"??? GONE because the dot.com bust cost the USA budget nearly $166 billion!
$5 trillion in dot.com losses! Was that Bush's fault?
Then do you conservatives remember 9/11??? Was that Bush's fault?
Cost nearly $2 trillion in losses which means nearly $66 billion in lost tax revenue
Finally do you conservatives KNOW that the worst hurricane seasons in history occurred and it definitely WASN"T Bush's fault... YET that costs $1 trillion or another $33 billion in LOST TAX revenue which combined with above losses nearly $300 billion in LOST TAX REVENUE!

All the above events occurred and were NOT Bush's fault.. YET you conservatives especially seem to totally IGNORE the obvious fact if $300 billion is NOT being PAID that means less money!
Then as far a "drunken sailor spending"???
$600 billion for Homeland security totally UNPLANNED for at Bush's beginning!
$600 billion for Liberation of IRAQ because we had traitors LIKE Obama encouraging terrorists to continue the Liberation of Iraq far beyond the military accomplishment done in may 2003!
The liberation was completed.. BUT when Obama calls our troops civilian killers, Kerry calls our troops "terrorists", Durbin says our troops are worse then the Nazis... well don't you think for one minute the enemy USES these words as encouragement to killings?
