Or even worse, imagine the hypocrite one must be to think the $250B deficits by the white guy, caused the recession, but the $1.25T by the black guy will fix it..

Didn't think so.

You know, after four and a half years, this 8% unemployment, crashing currency and declining wages **** is getting pretty old.




"in 1983 the recovery surpassed its previous peak in gross domestic product very rapidly from the recession's trough. Growth rose by 4.5% in 1983, 7.2% in 1984 and 4.1% in 1985, and it kept climbing through the rest of the 1980s."

Oh yeah? Cool story, bro. Doesn't change the fact that the Tea Party wants to destroy America.

In other news, the sun is bright.

You keep repeating this misconception. Obama hasn't increased spending but actually has halted the annual spending increases and put the nation on a plan to reduce deficits.

...........

But why should I bother saying this? Facts are irrelevant to the right-wing.

The Tea Party movement is an American political movement that advocates strict adherence to the United States Constitution, reducing U.S. government spending and taxes, and reduction of the U.S. national debt and federal budget deficit.

And the problem is, you are afraid your government (citizen) handout will get cut?

Really? The United States Constitution makes it very clear that establishment of religion and requiring religious tests are forbidden. Yet, the Tea Party believes the U.S. is a Christian nation.

The Tea Party wants the government to enact more laws restricting birth control, sex education, abortion, same-sex marriage, and drug use, among other things. That doesn't make them small government advocates. That makes them pro-big government. They want to use the power of government to intrude on other people's freedoms. In other words, they are hypocrites.

This letter says much:

Quote:
These arch conservatives’ lives are made easier by laws providing minimum water and clean air standards brought about by the struggles of environmentalists. They eat safe food and take medications made possible by the efforts of far-sighted politicians. They and their retired parents are able to live on pensions and Social Security fought for by liberal union members.

They use public roads, post offices without thinking. These things did not drop out of the sky; they were built by joint efforts—businesses and government and workers. Right-wing activists continue to call for privatization of 32,000 post offices and reducing the labor force even though the post office produced $800 million in profit during the last four years. Roads and highways wait for upgrades and new bridges.

They preach hate and call our president names and they teach those values to their children. They carry Constitutions and brag about the past without knowing about the true history. They are ignorant about disenfranchisement and amendments to the Consitution granting the right to vote to all the people. They now favor vote suppression.

They preach religion yet deny others freedom to worship.
Crows specialize in tea party hypocrisy

What kind of idiot would claim estimated deficits are FACTS?

The facts are that spending was $2982 billion in 2008 and $3537 billion in 2012. This data is from the President.

And spending is projected by the President to be $4090 billion in 2016.

For anyone who can add, it doesn't sound like a reduction in spending or a reduction in projected spending.

Dont you ever get tired of being embarassed

one posting you're blaming a bad economy because Republican "Tea Partiers" are stopping the growth of federal spending, the next, Obama isnt increasing spending so the economy is getting better, then we need more spending to stimulate.

What the hell? Thats almost as bad as you completely ignoring the boost in spending in year 1, and then pretend that the new spending limit is a "new" standard..

If you want to discuss facts, then stop being a hypocrite.
