You live in a realm that somehow manages to project the exact opposite of what is happening in reality.
Bush cut taxes, the deficit grew.
BZZZ the deficit grew because SPENDING INCREASED.. Spending has DOUBLED over the last 10 years.. Spare me the talk about reality until YOU learn how to face FACTS. When Bush cut taxes, REVENUES INCREASED, not decreased

WRONG AGAIN.. Clinton LOWERED taxes in 1997, and the deficit shrank. Why do liberals ignore the 1997 tax cuts? he also cut taxes as part of his 1993 Economic plan, lowering taxes on 90% of small businesses.

I'm free to believe FACTS, while you sit here and ignore then..
Cantor says they have agreed to 1.7 trillion in cuts over ten years.
However that 10 years crap is just crap. Can't you understand that the members of Congress 10 years from now won't be the same as the ones now? How about trying to understand that it is NOW that we need those cuts, not 10 years from now. If the members of the House were stupid enough to accept cuts 10 years from now they would have to give up their jobs. This should tell you why you couldn't ever be a member of Congress unless you ran as a Democrat.
You have convinced me. We need to money aside in the budget for birth control. We should make sure that the Bachmanns are getting a daily supply. I will pay for it out of my own pocket if necessary.
Now you understand why democrats hate the Mexico City Policy. Why they love them some welfare and why they'll never budge one bit on funding abortions overseas.
They hate life. Or more generally humans, they're fine with bacteria, viruses, and other diseases.
Again, another greedy stance by democrats who are not willing to budge one micron (1/25,400th of an inch -- mercury, whatever) to give up their Z and are willing to literally kill other people's babies over it.

Surely you see what a huge chore you have taken on trying to help someone like that to understand what is going on. I am backing off and you should too,

Why is Cantor lying to the American people and his own caucus? The leadership is lying to it's own members. Nice guy.
That doesn't keep up with is being spent yearly, especially as it gets closer to the 10 year mark.
Actually I don't think that some of these left leaners understand that 1.7 trillion divided by 10 makes 100 billion per year. That used to be a lot of money but since Obama took over it has become rather small.
Ask Obama about the Stimulus and how that worked out.
Obama has been focused on jobs since Jan, 2009, or so he says.
An exceptional leader he turned out to be.
Ya, where are the jobs, with unemployment numbers that are actually counted, on the rise again, in Obama's economy? You tell me?
I won't hire anyone, because I have no idea what the future holds.
Your an employee and totally clueless.
The Republicans were going to come to DC and focus on job creation.
