Justify that.
Democratic answer: "We opposed increasing the debt ceiling under Reagan, because they just werent dam high enough. Those increases for hundreds of billions, should have been trillions, because if you're going to do something, do it big"

Your every post is proof of that. Tell us again how there isn't an economic multiplier effect.

You mean the one which relies upon surpluses to pay back the debt created?

Care to validate thats a valid option for the USA by listing for me the last time we had a surplus..

And dont say Clinton, but he NEVER ran a surplus. The federal debt climbed every year under him..

I have been arguing my position there. I have not seen you dispute a single thing I've said.

True. Anyone who really believes the debt ceiling must be raised another *few* trillions of dollars would be admitting that this presidency is a huge failure.

All Obama is doing is digging us deeper and deeper into impossible debt.

Well, looks like stock markets around the world are tanking again today.

These obstructionistic, RECKLESS Republican 'baggers in the House are a CLEAR and PRESENT DANGER to global financial markets and YOUR 401(k)...

We, the people, have to ask each and every time, each person, each representative, every day, every year, every party, the question," Will this action, bill, law, etc. raise or lower the national debt?". The data suggests that under Obama the national debt increased 9.34 trillion. This is not a party problem, it is an American problem and we must solve it.

Tanking? Really? 136 points +/- does not a tanking make. Worry if it's 500-1000 point one day slide.
Better watch out Chicken little, the sky will fall tomorrow!!

Obama actually curbed spending. The budget has takeover about the same for 3 years. Bush's increased continually.
