"Look at the results of the last few presidents. It has not mattered if the President was a Republican or a Democrat. They all added to the deficit. The irony is that Republican presidents have actually reigned over the largest deficit increases."

The author does not even know the difference between debt and deficit.
"If we are finally serious about eliminating our $13.728 trillion dollar deficit, here are 3 things that we can do."
Lawd if we had a $13.7 trillion deficit we really would be screwed!
And of course this gem:
"In the short term, we can start by balancing the budget and not adding one cent more to the long term deficit."
They also ignore the even more obvious..
HEY OP.. PRESIDENTS DONT SPEND.. CONGRESS DOES...
Dont talk to me about hypocritical because Bush had deficits of $250B in 2007, $1.3T Now.. and you think deficits there were higher? oooh the humor... Again, look at Clinton, REPUBLICAN CONGRESS..

Both Bushes and Reagan far outspent their Democratic counterparts. In fact, you'll notice the only time Repubs worry about spending is under a Democratic President, and that is pure politics.
Inheriting a federal budget in the black and CBO forecast for a $5.6 trillion surplus over 10 years, President George W. Bush quickly set about dismantling the progress made under Clinton. Bush's $1.4 trillion tax cut in 2001, followed by a second round in 2003, accounted for the bulk of the yawning budget deficits he produced.
