    I have been trying to get a Liberal to tell me what the spending machines greatest accomplishment was. They avoid the subject of accomplishments.

    I can only deduce that his greatest accomplishment in their minds is lining their pockets with welfare programs but they won’t admit it.

    First off, I do not support Barack Obama so put that fantasy in the trash can.
    Secondly, factual or not Nobody cares. The hard right thinks it can preach this baloney as a preacher to a church congregation and the light will pour down from the heavens. It is not. What amuses me is how Obama's opponents can't see that the general population blames both sides for the mess that the country is in and that if the chance was presented most if not all sitting politicians would be handed their walking papers.

    Ok, so Obama doesn't have any accomplishment worth mentioning.

    He did create 5.1 trillion dollars of debt or 46 percent of total US public debt buying votes with welfare programs.

    If he deleted his big government regulation and fired the EPA, he would create jobs and that would be a notable accomplishment.

    Actually, when measured fairly, the increase in spending under President Obama has been less than any other president in decades. 2009 spending was budgeted when Bush was still president.

    As president, Obama doesn’t have to spend all of the money appropriated by Congress. Of course the Congress was Democrat. In addition, Obama signed the appropriation bill for ten departments on 11 Mar 2009 because Bush wouldn’t sign the massive increases in spending passed by the Democrat controlled Congress.

    Finally, the president can change anything he wants in appropriation bill with only a majority in the House and the Senate. Of course, the House and Senate were controlled by Democrats.

    What would stop him from getting exactly what he wanted and he did?

    So far he has created 5.1 trillions dollars of public debt buying votes with welfare programs.

    Your reference is full crap. It says nonpartisan but its Marxist propaganda.

    “WASHINGTON, March 11 (UPI) -- The $410 billion budget -- criticized for its scope in spending and earmarks -- was signed Wednesday by President Barack Obama.
    The budget document -- which keeps federal operations running through the end of the fiscal year Sept. 30 -- includes more than 8,500 earmarks, or funding for specific projects sought by congressional members, costing roughly $7.7 billion. The measure also boosts operating budgets by 10 percent or more for some of the programs over 2008 levels. Both the earmarks and the amount of money included in the operations budget drew howls of protest from both sides of the aisle.”
    http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2...

    Bush wouldn't sign the budget, way too much spending so Obama signed it.

    The fact is that in 39 months, the Spending machine created 5.1 trillion dollars of public debt or 46 percent of total pubic debt.

    In fact, the numbers show spending actually has increased far more slowly under Obama’s budgets that it did under Bush’s, and more slowly than under any president in half a century. An analysis by the Wall Street Journal’s “MarketWatch” website on May 22 shows spending under Obama rising at an average rate of just 1.4 percent per year. Spending under Bush rose 7.3 percent per year during his first term, and 8.1 percent per year in his second term.

    “[S]pending is rising at the slowest pace since Dwight Eisenhower brought the Korean War to an end in the 1950s,” wrote MarketWatch’s Rex Nutting. And after adjusting for inflation, Nutting notes, federal spending is actually falling under Obama — the first time that’s happened since the end of the Vietnam war.

    The increase is spending is immaterial. Liberals won't allow a new budget. They jacked it up and blamed it on Bush and then they keep using the same budget.

    Increases are meaningless. The fact is the Spending Machine has created 5.1 trillion dollars of public debt or 46 percent of total public debt.

    The fact is that Bush brought in 2.523 trillion dollars of revenue in 2008. The recession started in Dec 2007. Now look what Obama’s policies did to revenues for 2009, 2010, and 2011. In 3 years Obama hasn’t been able to produce the revenues that George Bush brought in 2008.

    Year Revenues (in Trillions)
    2008 2.523
    2009 2.104
    2010 2.162
    2011 2.303

    How would you know if Marxism works or not? It isn't being tried here. And the figures you choose to use mislead. You skipped 2007, with revenues of 2.57 trillion. Revenues were already dropping before Obama took office. And you have to realize that fixing an economy as large as ours take a lot of time. I see that revenues have grown every year since 2009. And in Bush's first year in office, we had a budget surplus of $128 billion. We had huge deficits every year after that.

    Yes, revenues did drop in 2008, the recession started in Dec 2007. What would you expect? However, once the Marxist took control of the Whitehouse, revenues fell through the floor.

    Capital and jobs flee Marxist which is why Obama can’t create revenue or jobs. The workforce participation rate is at a thirty year low.

    Bush created 2.4 trillion dollars of public debt in his 8 years of office or 300 billion per year. The spending machine create 4.2 trillion dollars of public debt in 3 years of office or 1.4 trillion dollars a year.

    That is easy!

    A Marxist is an individual that supports the teachings and ideology of Karl Marx. Liberals support the teaching and ideology of Karl Marx. Therefore, Liberals are Marxist.

    Karl Marx said; “Democracy is the road to socialism.”
    Karl Marx said; “From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need.”
    http://thinkexist.com/quotes/...

    Didn’t Obama pass Obamacare in the Senate without a single Republican vote? Didn’t Obamacare transfer wealth from those with abilities to those of need? Wasn’t the justification for Obamacare that 30 million people needed it?

    You don't know much about republican policy do you? For example take the estate tax which republicans favor eliminating. Do you know what this would do for the vast majority of people? It would subject property that they inherit to capital gains tax when they sell it. In my case when my mother died her house would have been subject to capital gains on roughly $750,000 which has grown to probably $900,000 today. The vast majority of people are not subject to estate taxes. So the rich will get to keep their vast wealth while the middle class will have to pay new taxes. Hope you understand now how republicans will transfer wealth. Won't happen over night but over time it will if they get their way.

    It was your mother's home not the GOVERNMENTS, it was her asset, not taxing what she had payed for is NOT giving her money. You are free to give any part of your inheritance to the government.
    NO middle class person will be required to pay new taxes because your mother didn't pay a wealth tax. It is politicians who want to spend ever increasing amounts of money that would force tax hikes.
    And evidently you are too dense to realize higher taxes will only lead to more government spending. Politicians use money to buy votes, BOTH parties plans call for ever higher spending beyond simple inflation adjustments.

    You seem to ignore the reasons why government asks for money. I admit I do not agree with much of the country on this but majority rules. If it was up to me I would end the war on drugs, reduce the military industrial complex, and transfer some wealth to the better education of our children. I think we now rank something like 37th in something. Not good and will cost this country big time if it is not corrected. But so many want to teach creationism in schools and think Calculus is too hard for little Johnny. Pathetic.

    Marxism is about buying votes with socialist welfare programs. Vote for me and I will steal and transfer wealth to you.

    Capital and jobs flee Marxism which is why Obama can't create jobs.

    Jesus never advocated sending money to central command for wealth redistribution. He wasn’t a fan of the Roman government. He advocated for charity from individuals but didn’t advocate for big government to steal for wealth redistribution. He did say pay your taxes but that was to not challenge Rome.

    No they don't, we need to shut down Obama's vote buying welfare programs and delete his big governemnt regulations. We don't need to spend it.

    What we need is jobs not people on welfare. However, capital and jobs flee Marxism which is why Obama can't create jobs.

    If Romney is elected he will delete most of Obama's big government regulation. Capital will come in and create jobs.
