    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    that's bullshit, anyone with a 401k plan should have almost made up for the terrible Obamacare plan from the previous administration that is still driving up the debt. Tax cuts mean more money to invest, Obamacare meant money for retirement went toward healthcare. The Democrats only cave to minorities at election time.

    Obamacare was much of that balance, as were other liberal policies that raped the middle class

    Clinton was actually able to buy up debt, and have a surplus. Republicans forget about the deficit whenever they are in power, and push up the deficit to unbelievable levels. Then they suddenly remember it again when Democrats come to power, and try to get things under control.

    Look at the presidents since Reagan. The reds all jacked the debt up astronomically while claiming financial conservatism. Words do not supplant deeds. They are spenders who cut taxes to the wealthy while cranking up spending, mostly on the military. They settled in military spending because both right and left can be convinced it is right. It is not. Guns not butter was Ikes warning. The long-term plan for America that the super-wealthy are masterminding is working well.

    Obamacare reduces the deficit, because more medical costs are paid for by insurance.

    Not that it makes any difference with Democrats focused on "Free stuff"
    Always comical when a Repbulican now starts screaming about deficits and debt when for the last four years they approved nothing but spending and deficits, very similar to the rant they regurgitated when Obama took office after four years of free spending under Bush. Quite apparent that GOP principles regarding deficits and debts is defined solely by who occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

    That ship has sailed

    false, Obamacare alone will never show a savings, only more deficits, in other words more free shit for people that won't lift a finger to help themselves

    when repukes start being just as concerned about revenue cuts as they are about tax cuts they'll have some credibility. how is any budget going to work when you increase expenditures and cut revenues at the same time
