Obama never met a tax increase he didn't like. Look at this list.

Since taking office in 2009, President Barack Obama has formally proposed a total of 442 tax increases, according to an Americans for Tax Reform analysis of Obama administration budgets for fiscal years 2010 through 2015.

The 442 total proposed tax increases does not include the 20 tax increases Obama signed into law as part of Obamacare.

“History tells us what Obama was able to do. This list reminds us of what Obama wanted to do,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.

The truth is that income under Obama has only gone up for families making over $450,000 a year, and that was by 4%.

Most of the spending has gone to the Republican base in the form of SS, Medicare, Medicaid for seniors, defense spending and a bloated VA budget that is pushing 160 billion. You can throw in some federal disability checks and you have pretty much covered the five trillion with the Republican base. You kind of wonder why they are complaining.

Any one with a brain in their head on straight can. Obama's supporters, can't. Part of the Obama agenda, we know! The naïve can spin things any way they can, but reality is what is really happening.

Obama spends like a drunken foolish women alone in a posh clothing store. Let him go, he is on a freaking roll.

They always try, and divert don't work.

The thing is that Obama should be spending to get the economy back on track, but since most Americans don't understand the national debt, many people label any form of spending as bad.

Cutting back even more on spending would only hurt the economy worse since we are still in a recession.

How much in interest payments on Bush's debt do you think was paid since Obama took office? Few trillion?
