You're response has absolutely NOTHING to do with your response, so take your stupid attacks back to where you learned that military actions can be done for free..

Hell, if what you said is true, we could have $0 spending on military actions and still have the safest country in the universe.. woo hoo, urbanlife said its true so it must be.. haha..
Sorry, I misread your question. All military action costs money. My response was that any president can basically invade someplace and it not be called a war, only Congress can call it a war.

You mean the bill that Republicans have rendered useless? You should read up on Dodd/Frank bill, it is a shell of a bill that it was meant to be thanks to Republican obstructionist who basically destroyed the entire bill and made it completely useless.

That's economic illiteracy. Cutting spending to reduce the debt decreases economic activity as government cancels contracts and those firms layoff workers.

Clinton was dealing with an economy in full employment and that is exactly the time to address deficits -- not when the economy is depressed.

the growth in GDP during Clintons first term, was actually lower than we currently have taking place, and there was a large number unemployed, which is why Clinton cut taxes.. Nice job at re-writing history, but most of us who were old enough to be around at the time, know better.

http://clinton5.nara.gov/WH/Accompli...tyears-03.html

And its no coincidence that unemployment dropped as he CUT spending growth, thus disproving the hogwash you just posted. In fact Clinton laid off nearly 800K the federal payroll employees in order to help cut the deficits.
Total Government Employment Since 1962

LEAVING MORE MONEY IN THE ECONOMY BOOSTS THE ECONOMY, Clinton understood it, but here you are, expecting the exact same response when Obama does the EXACT OPPOSITE of Clinton.. Thats pretty dumb.

Default Another Obama Record!: $16 Trillion Federal Debt

Obama's set another dubious record......

US Debt crossed over the $16 TRILLION mark yesterday.

That's $136,249 Per Household

I expect that Liberals will be happy about this. Which proves that all their faux outrage over Bush's debt was just partisan BS. They couldn't care less about deficits or the debt.

Well I am guessing you don't know what the Dodd/Frank bill actually does....or actually doesn't do because it has so many holes in it from the Republicans. You should get off your Republican sites, go to some non-partisan sites and actually learn what Dodd/Frank actually doesn't do that it was originally meant to do.
