Fed debt hits $15 trillion; GOP blasts Obama

Re: USA Today: National Debt OVER 15 Trillion
 

What percent of that is the fault of the Republican tax cuts, deficit spending, and refusal to raise taxes?

Re: USA Today: National Debt OVER 15 Trillion
 

The other 7 trillion is Bush and Regan!

The last 2 trillion is people in-between!

Also last time I checked Congress passes the bills and spends the money, not just the Prez.....:cool:

My car broke down, its Obama's fault
My roof leaks, its Obama's fault
My dog died, its Obama's fault
My wife left me, its Obama's fault
My toilet won't flush, its Obama's fault
My hair is falling out, its Obama's fault
My sister hates me, its Obama's fault

I know the bailouts helped it. Im sure obamacare is doing the samething. This is all on Bush and Obama. Ohh a side not, When bush was in office his second term, the democrats had control of the house and senate so inorder for bush to push our country to the brink of bankruptcy, the democrats had a hand in it. Obama is now finishing what bush started!!

Re: USA Today: National Debt OVER 15 Trillion

No, the debt is much more on the Republicans. They are the ones who have an issue with spending, but what they've done since Reagan is increase spending and increase tax cuts. The Democrats also like to spend, but they at least want to increase taxes. If taxes had been increased or even if the tax cut for the wealthy had never taken place, our deficit would be well within a manageable range. There's a lot I don't like about the mainstream Democrats -- namely that they caved in on issues of tax hikes when put under Republican pressure, and they are threatening to do so again, but the generally approach of the Democrats has been tax hikes and increased spending, while the generally approach of the Republicans has been tax cuts and increased spending. Of those two choices, which is the more responsible one?

You are?
How much has it cost to date?


This started long before Obama and Bush.

See this is where democrats and republicans cant see eye to eye. You thinking cutting taxes is the problem, but to me and republicans think that its SPENDING thats the problem. Have you ever heard the saying, its easier to spend someone else's money than it is your own. The problem with democrats is that they will spend spend spend, but if it was their money, they would be frugal. The way we should approach this deficit is like how a family does. Budget your money so you can pay off your bills and not spend what you dont have. Thats the problem here. We are spending money we dont have. We are printing money at an alarming rate and there is nothing to back up that money. The more money we print the bigger the inflation and the more the US dollar is devalued. I agree in some ways with the spending, but not the federal government. THE PEOPLE OF THE USA has to spend the money not the federal government. Consumers is the ignition. The more the consumer spends, the more money businesses make. The more money the businesses make, the bigger the store and then they will need to hire more people. Thats how you create jobs and build the economy. Also, another way to fix the economy is get rid of the wasteful spending by our government. I know where to start first. WITH THE ILLEGALS. They arent paying taxes at all or contributing to society AT ALL while the tax payers are paying for them to go to school, to get free medical care, food stamps, etc and who is paying for it all-WE THE PEOPLE. Illegals are not people, THEY ARE CRIMINALS. They came in this country illegally. I have no problem with foreign people coming to the country to have a better way of life as long as they do it the right way!
