Raising the debt ceiling is so the government can spend MORE money. Not so they can pay off dedt. More than enough money to pay debts coming into the treasury every day. Obama and the democrats are the only ones suggesting that we might CHOOSE to not pay off our debts.

So you were opposed to raising the debt ceiling every time BushII did it?

So, it is OK to raise the debt ceiling if you want to invade a couple foreign nations, half the world away?
 
Have you ever wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the “right” and Liberals are called the “left.”

??? I said "9/11 and two wars might have been one of the rare situations where it could be justified". Yes wars frequently involve military operations within other sovereign nations. No I wouldn't fund tax cuts to the wealthy with deficit spending.

Huh, and all these years I thought it was because we were "right" as opposed to wrong.

He didnt. In 2001 the top 1% income earners paid 33.89% of all Federal Income taxes. In 2008 the top 1% income earners paid 38.02% of all federal income taxes, even though their tax rates declined.

Revenues went up. I think you have confused revenue with tax in this post. Tax rates went down, revenues increased after a time of a short drop.

There are taxes(revenue) and tax rates. Tax rates went down, taxes went up. No confusion, just semantic games on your part.

It's no conspiracy theory. The economy did crash on Bush's watch, in Oct 2008. Obama didn't take office until Jan 2009.

The economy crashed 1 week before the election in 2008 when everyone was being told that little boy Erkle the Communist was going to be our next president.

You dont work for a living do you? And I suppose you only voted for Obamao because he was black.

If he was a queer then that would've been a twofer for ya.

Tax =/= revenue. There is a reason we use two different words for those two different ideas. Look, it's not like I'm against you, it's just that words mean things. Revenue is not the same thing as taxes.
