Jack Sheaffer says:

This is more of the Arsonist (bush) and the Fireman (Obama) propaganda. The ruins were created pre-Obama. Poor analysis. When did the Great Recession begin? Why is it called Great? It originated from a not-so-Great President. It’s expensive extinquishing the Great Recession. If it weren’t for SNAP cards, it would be properly called a depression. Don’t blame the Fireman.

Snap shot economics is the above. Sensationalism.

Thomas Hazard says:

Adjust for income tax rate changes and normalize the per capita debt burden. I too know how to play with economic statistics, Using the ceteris paribus principle when making comparisons is the only way to understand fairly the numbers!

Thomas Hazard says:

Please Also show National debt as % of GDP!

Vivian R Palmer Harvey says:

He’s a “play-boy”, skipping and dancing, flinging money right and left through the seasons like the grasshopper played in the famous parable, while the “ant-people” the hard working American citizens do what is they can...to no avail though...so the comparison fails here...and the FEDS are bringing ruination with him.
Better get on our knees and pray for rescue from THE Almighty.

Fear The Voices says:

If your sole purpose is to overwhelm and collapse the system, then yes, being number one is that important. One has to believe that by the policies enacted, and the dramatic increase in unbudgeted spending (not to mention not having a budget at all) which has taken place for nearly four years under this regime, one can only conclude it is.

I’m actually surprised the debt hasn’t been run up higher than it is; but the regime isn’t out of office yet either.

PaulTheCabDriver says:

Actually, believe it or not, I’m in FAVOR of these massive government debts and defeceits. Here is why: Everyone knows that these debts will eventually end in one of two ways; either hyper inflation or default. So too many pundits are screaming that the budget must be balanced. But a balanced budget will allow this government and all its stupidity to survive. This is a totally unacceptible situation. This government and all that goes with it must be so completely discredited, it must so sicken the American people, that Americans never again look to government as a solution to any problem. Otherwise, we will face this problem again in a generation. Our only hope for ridding ourselves of this horrible tyranny is total economic collapse. And these huge debts are hastening that collapse, and rid us of the Leviathan that much sooner. So, bring it on Obama! Let’s see how much MORE you can spend.

Gordon Anderson says:

Kevin,

You’re an idiot also. You Lying Anti-American Democrats will do anything it takes to cover up the stink of your own gutless party. One Republican squeezes out a crooked f*** and your liberal nose is right there to sniff it in and blow it out of proportion!
