Hmmm, the Founders we liberals who put together a liberal Constitution.
there is an arrogance among liberals that says the last group of liberals did it wrong and thus this group of liberals can do it better. The results are always the same however, failure. I don't understand what generates this kind of loyalty to a failed ideology. Too many people think with their hearts and buy the rhetoric that all this spending in the name of compassion actually generates compassionate results which it doesn't unless you believe dependence is compassionate.
LOL....the "last group" wasn't the "liberals". The last group was your hero...the clown that drove this country to the brink of economic and moral bankruptcy. Take a look at the history of this country. It is almost always the so-called "Liberals" that get us out of the messes that the Republicans leave us in.
You really don't understand the budget process or what is in the budget, do you? SS/Medicare were indeed fully funded but the money was spent when it was put on budget by LBJ to fund the Vietnam War. Learn your history. I love how you ignore the Obama lies yet blame Repubicans for lying. That is typical liberalism and the inability to ever admit that you are wrong.
Just like someone from California blaming someone else for their own failures. Continued discussion about perceived Bush results is nothing more than a diversion from the failed Obama agenda. The current results are Obama's and there is nothing Bush did that created those results. I know how much you enjoy seeing the country become more like California with its high debt, high unemployment, and entitlement mentality.
The increases in spending are due to the belief that we need a 3.77 trillion dollar govt and that was never the intent of the Founders. Suggest reading a history book. Our Founders left England because of the govt. liberals are giving us today
The money was not spent, it was lent to the Govt. by the purchase of Treasury bonds with the money. Bonds backed up by the full faith of the US Govt.
You are the one who is confused or is it lying?
Well the make up of that 3.77 trillion dollar govt is 60% that goes towards entitlement spending, 18% goes to defense spending, and 17% goes to funding the rest of the US government. Just to point out that if you have a problem with a 3.77 trillion dollar government then you're problem is entitlements. Everything other than entitlements is 1.2 trillion and less than half of that funds EVERYTHING the government does.
I'll take the current results over those your hero left us with....any day of the week....and I'll take California over Texas as well. Hell...I'd take Arizona over Texas.
Of course you would since apparently you aren't paying for the debt service on the U.S. Debt and have no problem with the entitlement mentality in your state that has bankrupted it. So much for liberal compassion.
John Boehner and Mitch McConnel are on the record stating in order for any sort of big bargain to take place they wanted either the age increased to 67 or Chained CPI.
The Presidented decided Chained CPI is the lesser of two evils and is offering it as a concession. I'm not sure how anybody that votes Republican can criticize the President for giving their party what they wanted.
You watched the Republican ideology crash and burn in 2008, losing the
faith of the American people and 2 Presidential elections yet you still cling to it like it never happened. We tried it your way and didn't like the results. Time for something different.
Who was president in December 2007?? Where do you get the 500K figure?? Are you blaming President Obama for all of the 17 trillion?What purpose would it serve? Is it Bush's fault that we have 143 million Americans working today in a labor force of 155 million compared to 146 million working in December 2007 in a labor force of 153 million? Is it Bush's fault that 500,000 left the labor force last month and that we have a 17 trillion dollar debt today? Do you understand the concept of leadership and accepting responsibility. Apparently Obama doesn't understand either.

You wouldn't if you understood those results.

Here is the chart you want to ignore
Declining labor force each month of 2013. That is a liberal success story, isn't it, get more people to drop out of the labor force and off the roles of the unemployed thus show an improving percentage change?
Either you need new eyeglasses or your lying, which is it?
LOL Were the numbers in January greater or less than December? BONUS QUESTION: Is January in 2013?Not surprising, you cannot read the chart or choose not to read it
Labor force
155654(1) 155524 155028
You do realize that January numbers were 155.6, Feb numbers were 155.5, and March number were 155.0. Get someone to help you read these numbers and tell you that 155.0 is 500,000 less than 155.5
What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty?
The increases in spending are due to the belief that we need a 3.77 trillion dollar govt and that was never the intent of the Founders. Suggest reading a history book. Our Founders left England because of the govt. liberals are giving us today
