And increased our involvement in Afghanistan. Got us involved in Libya and has us involved in Syria. That is not ending anything.

How would he address decreased revenue?
By realizing that Wall Street does not drive the economy. He had many good ideas as candidate Obama but he has discarded them as president Obama. One would have been his promise to address corporations off shoring of jobs.

No one is trying to justifying, kicking the can down the road.
It is just that we are now looking at the end of that road and the can is pretty beat up.
The debt ceiling being raised isn't something only one side needs, it's what the country needs. The GOP is trying to force partisan measures on something that is essential to the country. They're holding the American economy hostage, which will be out billions in a shutdown.
Did you gain this knowledge since 2006? Like obama did?
economic illeterate would be linking to a source which puts a lot of emphasis into keynesia economics, consider we havent practiced keynesia for DECADES...
