THOSE policies lie right at the feet of the current occupant that has decided to phone it in for the last 2 years. Not GWB. Not Bill. Not Reagan.

The defict is actually shrinking and has been doing so every year since 2011. It's just about half of what it was in 2010.

At this point, you blaming Pelosi & Reid is just as bad as anyone on the Left blaming Bush for anything.

It's funny to me that the funniest guy on here does't drink. (FTB)

Imagine how he would be if we got him to drink a beer. :D

Accepted. I truly wasn't trying to be offensive when I discussed this, just truthful.

That would be a good strategy, but that's NOT our strategy. Our strategy is a left wing supportive strategy, as evidenced by my post below:

I take that to mean he's not going to run, but it's not like we haven't all heard that line before.

Okay, I'm taking bets. Three choices: One, He goes on to be a "consultant" in DC; two, he returns to the line and flies with the swine; three, he reluctantly accepts the overwhelming demand for his unique talents and allows his name to be proposed as MEC Chairman, again.

It's still negative every year though which means our country is still increasing our debt every year, just not as much.

Yes, sir. That's what a deficit is. Trending towards smaller and smaller deficits is a good thing though. Right? Or, at least better than what happened to it from 2007-2008 and 2008 to 2009. Correct? ;)
