You might as well start blaming your glasses then. Do you see food stamps use lower in 2008-2009 compared to 2000? Really? The difference is huge enough to not even worry about glasses, just reasonably functioning brain.
Are you really that dense that you cant see that over the length of the last three Presidencies including Obummer that Bush Jr . had the LOWEST usage over the term of each President. Oh well moving on.
I agree that if we have debt, we should be paying it off with any surplus we have.
I think we need to concentrate on expanding the economy and improving the GDP / Debt ratio in order to make the debt more managable. The balance does not matter it is affordable, and we are getting to a point where is it not affordable.

Don't worry about others, worry about self. Find another person who sees a decline in food stamps usage through Bush years. He inherited a trough in 2000-2001 and that went through the ceiling during his Presidency.
I may be "dense" to not see and draw conclusions that you do. In fact, I addressed us being exact opposites in my first response.

Don't agree with the focus. Why continually pay interest on manageable debt? Do you do that with your personal finances?

Get rid of the debt. Save the interest payments.
Simply paying out Social Security checks to retirees and Medicare is "paying out" the debt. It would be a good idea to reduce the foreign portion of the debt, but the rest is best dealt with as I described.
The new full time week is 32 hours. EVERY new hire we have at our company works 4 days or less and they're considered fully employed. A younger ex co worker keeps in touch and has gone looking for better employment but can't find anything. He's working at McDonalds in the same 32 hour program.
I feel guilty working the full 40 hours sometimes.
Yes the worst five year low in new claims for unemployment benefits in sixty years will be used as proof that the big government, tax and spend philosophy of Barack Obama is a roaring success. It is really pathetic.
Just think how much better off we'd all be right now if Clinton would have vetoed that GOP Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that eventually tanked the economy.
In a welcome sign of recovery for the job market, initial jobless claims blew past expectations and plunged to a nearly five-year low.
First-time claims for unemployment benefits plummeted by 37,000 in just one week, falling to 335,000 from 372,000 the previous week, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's the lowest since January 2008.
Only a liberal!
So, that must mean that more people are working? That suddenly, we are experiencing a boom in job creation, and people are returning to work in droves?
You are delusional. But that is typical of a Democrat ('Progressive').
Food stamp usage is at an all-time high. Shouldn't this be going down since unemployment numbers are going down? OR is the government using fuzzy math with the unemployment numbers?
Oh, don't burst his bubble!
I love threads like this, because they always prove what idiots the Obama supporters are.
