The wait could be a long one. If there were actual arguments that he/she had to make, they'd have popped up already...

Decreasing. Interest paid on the debt in FY 2008 was $451,154 million. Federal receipts from personal and corporate income taxes, payroll , excise, and estate taxes were $2,446,636 million. Interest payments were therefore 18.4% of total tax receipts.

For the first half of FY 2009, interest payments on the debt have come to $168,591 million. Federal tax receipts have been $956,730 million. Interest has therefore been 17.6% of total tax receipts over that time period.

Was there any actual point you were going to make out of that?
What was the fraction ( Interest paid on the debt / Federal receipts ) for FY 2007? And provide a source. FY 2009 is not finished yet so your compare is erroneous.

Sure. Anyone can say anything ending up making themselves look bad and ignorant.

Unlike you folks I am not on here day and night. You might want to temper your impatience.

He lied about getting out of Iraq (which we won't), he lied about getting out of NAFTA (which he has completely retracted), he voted for the Patriot Act (and gave us the same Republican song and dance about "it's for our safety"), he is a bought and paid for shill for the corporate fascist government, he is continuing the bailout of the banks with tax payer money, he is driving us deeper in debt at a record pace, he hasn't repealed any of Bush's Presidential Directives, so on and so forth.

You guys seem like either good Republicans or are brain dead.

Lets see what change has brought us:
- Continuing wars (although, Obama's definition of ending wars is keeping 30-50K boots on the ground) Check
- Special interest/Lobbyist: Check
- Budget filled with pork/earmarks: Check
- Nominating crooks in cabinet: Check
- Reckless spending: Check
- Being Saudi Beeyatch: Check
- Bombing and killing innocent afghan villagers: Check
- Fear mongering ie his speech about the economy when the sky was about to fall: Check
- Giving money to people that hate us: Check
- Defending wiretapping: Check

Nope, no change, just more of the same.
