SO if raising taxes has not reduced the deficit perhaps we could try lowering taxes instead.

Yeah, that worked well for W's budget deficits and that's not counting the cost of Iraq as the war was not included in the budget.
That's no excuse for Obama and Congress, whether Dem or GOP controlled.
Doesn't the House control the purse strings?

Obama's deficits far exceed Bush's. Yet another failed post from a really pathetic poster.

link?

I don't think that word means what you think it means hack:

U.S. Posts Smallest Annual Budget Deficit Since 2007

The budget shortfall fell to its lowest level since 2007 during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, the Treasury Department said Thursday. The deficit declined 9% from the prior year to $439 billion—around 2.5% of gross domestic product and below the average the U.S. has run over the past 40 years.

Thats from YESTERDAYS Wall Street Journal as well. Not exactly a liberal bastion.

You may want to check who was president in 2007.
You are a doofus, a total doofus.

ironic post is ironic. We're not talking about before the recession presided over by a Repub Pres.

Fact is the deficit has decreased since a non-Repub assumed office. Your argument is FAIL (as usual)

what have taxes done in that same period

Um, you may want to check the dates of the recession and gov't spending in response to it. Also Obama's deficits for the first term. Also the headline of the article you posted.
Yes, Bush's deficits were lower than Obama's. You proved that yourself. This is the first year Obama's deficits will be on a par with the worst of Bush's. And that's only thanks to the GOP control of the House and their refusal to bust budget caps.

RW response is: You dont understand math.

RW response "we don't do math."

RW response "we don't do math."

Leftwing response: You just dont understand because you're all caught up in those rules of math. It's more interpretative.
