No, that's not what I'm saying, show me where you complained about Obama running up the debt........
You're too stupid to understand this....but for others......
The debt would have risen by $3 trillion because of tax and spending policies that were already in place BEFORE Obama took office. Plus, the Great Recession drove up spending on safety net programs, such as Medicaid and food stamps, without the president or Congress doing a thing.
Obama DID raise spending with his 2009 stimulus plan and his making most of the Bush tax cuts permanent in 2012; these steps contributed to the debt. But the 2011 Budget Control Act, which curbed government spending, helped slow the projected growth in debt.
Also,
keep in mind that Obama can't take any financial steps without Congress' approval. And Republicans controlled the House for six years of his term and the Senate for two years.
LOL, omfg, he doubled the debt, and you say he lowered it, are you just retarded?
how did making the tax cuts permanent reduce federal dollar intake
Who Really Pays Uncle Sam's Bills?
From 2013 to now it has never dipped below pre 2008 numbers...and today it's almost 1 trillion more than in 2008.
so we took in MORE money.....the deficit is because of MORE spending........
Notice when the economy tanked, ie businesses got fucked, and what happened? people lost jobs and we lost tax revenue, what a concept, growth works!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you for proving tax cuts do INCREASE revenue for the govt.
Now if you really care about the deficit, you'll reduce spending.
