Not spending it on supporting illegal aliens that shouldn't be here in the first place, for example. Not making welfare a way of life. A couple months or some other finite duration and then that's it. Not giving away foreign aid. Not forgiving loans to other countries like Haiti. Not doing nation building. Not paying both to blow something up and then to rebuild. Not staying in other countries like South Korea for 60 YEARS after the war is over. Not shipping jobs around the world instead of here in the United States, which means the government cannot overly regulate or overly tax those businesses. Your beloved liberals are the ones mostly responsible over the years for running up that credit card bill. Not entirely, but mostly, especially FDR's "New Deal" and that Lyndon Johnson and his "Great Society" bullshiat. |

Clinton left us with a surplus. What happened then, Joey? A reminder of what composes our deficit, today: unfunded wars, unfunded Medicare Part D giveaway, unfunded tax cuts (giving away our income) If you give away your income, you won't be able to pay your bills. The largest part of our deficit is George W. giving away our income. Then worrying about cutting spending, when the problem is that you've cut your income markedly, isn't going to get you solvent very quickly. ![]()

BTW Check out CBPP.org, the cartoonist of Riot's graph, and see who they really are.

![]() Baloney. You keep saying it's made up, yet it's a perfectly valid and accurate graph, using perfectly true and valid numbers, it's appeared in multiple publications, and nobody - least of all you - has ever disproven it's validity.

No mention of Obamacare as well so that graph you posted might as well be three times higher with socialized medicine towering over anything represented in the CBPP graph. And BTW Huffington and Salon do not make up 'numerous publications.'

What references, exactly, on the CBPP website that went into the chart do you think are not accurate? Obama "mega budgets" - have you missed what happened this week? We just finished the current budget? What "mega budgets" do you think have been "put through"? (as we are far behind on budgets) And you clearly have no idea the financial impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care act upon the deficit. You might try looking that up. You'd be pleasantly surprised. In fact, you can look at the very recent CBO estimates, of what would happen to the deficit if the Republicans repealed the PPACA.

Obama's first year budget 2009 was 3.517 trillion and 2010 3.37 trillion so that's roughly 800 billion MORE over 2 years w/o the Iraq war and now we're going to cut 35 billion? LMAO. Add those budgets to the graph and project to 2016.
