What's causing rising debt?

[Truth Detector]

Do you imagine someone said they did, fool?
Yes I do.
Do you imagine someone said we'd be spending less?
Reread.
Reread.
Relevance to my argument?
why would you imagine the issue couldn't be revenue if revenue hasn't declined, dunce?
Do you imagine someone suggest the OMB's projections tend to be right, fool? Obviously not. Each new year has legal changes which can result in increases and decreases. The whole point of my argument was that the OMB projections were WRONG, due to specific changes made by the Republicans. Did you honestly fail to grasp that?
Did you not realize that laws can be changed, fool?
Reread. I made it clear it was only a minority portion of the problem. Try to read more carefully and you won't embarrass yourself this way so often.
Yes, they're the primary change that took us from a path of falling deficits to a path of rising deficits. They resulted in revenue growth being far below average levels, such that they fell well short of even below-normal pace of spending growth. Spending growth has moderated, but revenue growth rates are much lower, therefore we have a revenue problem.
Yes they do, fool. Read the tax code then get back to me.
Orthodox economic policy calls for deficit spending during and immediately following recessions, which should then gradually be decreased as the economy strengthens, ultimately turning into surpluses when the economy is very strong and can afford a little extra burden to assist in getting out from under the debt overhang. Obama can, of course, be faulted for not pushing for larger deficits earlier in his presidency, when they were so clearly needed. But after that, we generally had a reasonable glide path of falling deficits. By comparison, increasing deficits at a time with unemployment in the 4% or lower range is reckless and clearly contrary to orthodox economic ideas.
THINK!

Same old tired talking points. No, the tax cuts weren't predominantly for the upper income. It was predominantly for small business owners. The majority of the overall dollars still went to the lower and middle income families. Only on a per capita basis does it benefit the wealthy more and that is simply because they have so much more and pay so much more in income taxes.

The two wars were largely over when Obama came into office. Pretending otherwise is ridiculous. The recession ended in March of 2009. Two months into his first term. There was no reason for him to run up massive debt after year two. Yet he completely failed to get us back to pre-crisis levels. The economy was only being propped up because of his massive over spending and because the Fed kept rates so low for so long.

Are you familiar with something called tactical calculus? I am. I served in the military. I am familiar with the weapons of war, troop strengths...among other things. One concern is the aging planes of our air force. They are mostly outdated, and we do not have anywhere near enough stockpiles of munitions or spare parts. Our troops are not properly trained because of a lack of funding. I've seen it first hand, so don't even try to deny it. Our military is weaker than most people realize. That's the truth.

and yet it is MASSIVE compared to every other countries on the earth.

who exactly are you on planning on attacking us?

Because he jumped someone who was armed, in the dark, and started beating him MMA style. I do wish you had a brain.

Trayvon was stalked by a man with a gun at his fathers home because he was black


the man who stalked him with a gun had a violent record

Trayvon did not have a violent record
