Who Would Vote For This Again?

Democrats: Tax and spend, pro big government.

Republicans: Borrow and spend, pro big government.

After you live through enough Democratic and Republican Congresses and Presidents, this truth gets hammered home to you.
And what makes it worse, is Republicans borrow, leaving Democrats to find ways to pay it back. That leads to raising taxes, which Republicans then use to attack the Democrats.
Wow....The fact that you believe that is incredible.
I don't have to believe it - I know it's a fact. Who cleaned up Reagan's deficit mess? Democrat Bill Clinton. Who cleaned up Bush's deficit mess? Obama, and he lowers it further every day.

You're just butthurt because Republicans are incompetent and your ideology has failed.
 
It would ALL be worse under McCain or Romney.


We will never know if it would have been better or worse. McCain/Palin was a bad ticket. Romney would have been a very good president because he understands how to run a business and how to manage money.

But you fools gave obozo 8 years and we are all stuck with your mistake.
lol...mittens would just be doing what obama is doing now.
 
Ya gotta face reality, chic. Liberals are not interested in facts, results, or truth. They are party zealots from birth to death. Obama is their black kenyan messiah. he can do no wrong. He is their hero, savior, and mentor.

the defective liberal gene is running rampant in the usa. It is a plague.
dude you suck more rightwing dick than larry craig.there isnt a jug big enough for you to carry all that water you slurp up

Let's examine some of the 'benefits' that an Obama-vote has accumulated.


1. Obama has essentially flushed taxpayer money down the toilet of the welfare system...with results that are the exact opposite of what was desired.

a. "... since President Obama took office, federal welfare spending has increased by 41 percent, more than $193 billion per year. Despite this government largess, more than 46 million Americans continue to live in poverty. Despite nearly $15 trillion in total welfare spending since Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty in 1964, the

poverty rate is perilously close to where we began more than 40 years ago.Throwing money at the problem has neither reduced poverty nor made the poor self-sufficient." Scribd


b. "….the dramatically larger increase also suggests that part of the program’s growth is due to conscious policy choices by this administration to ease eligibility rules and expand caseloads….income limits for eligibility have risen twice as fast as inflation since 2007 and are now roughly 10 percent higher than they were when Obama took office.

Since then, it has increased $7,514,567,086,650.22--which is $65,443 per household, $70,985 per full-time worker and $84,266 per full-time private-sector worker.

According tothe Treasury, the debt started calendar year 2014 at $17,351,970,784,950.10 and ended it at $18,141,444,135,563.30. Under Obama Federal Debt Up 84 266 Per Full-Time Private-Sector Worker CNS News


6. Food stamp recipients up 49%


7. Debt held by the public is up 89%


However, the Obama administrationrecently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $626 billion the year after. At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency.

As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office.

The same story applies to family income, which includes many families with two earners. (The “household” figure includes single persons living alone, as well as families.) Median family income in 2012 was $62,241, or 5.1 percent below the inflation-adjusted 2008 level.

The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures.


8. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.

25. Washington, D.C.- An unabated influx of illegal aliens along the southern border of the United States is causing a health crisis in the border region. Actions by the Obama Administration to disperse illegals across America while providing an incentive for more illegals to come could lead to a nationwide health crisis that is likely to manifest itself first within our public schools.....It has spread as far north as southern Mexico and south into Panama. Diseases such as this could be carried across our border by illegal immigrants and could create a nationwide health crisis. Chicken pox, measles, mumps and tuberculosis are already causing problems." — Project 21 member Michael Dozier, Ph.D., an expert in homeland security issues and talk radio host who has worked with humanitarian aid missions in Africa, Asia, the Balkans and the United States
