The only spending that counts is the next two years.
By increasing both?
That’s meeting alfway?
What a liar.
The whole thing is BS. Nothing but kabuki theater. Not one single plan under discussion amounts to a fart in a hurricane in regards to addressing the national debt or the economy.
I hate it when government leaders lie to the electorate
What I want for Christmas: ONE member of the media who will confront ridiculous statements such as this.
No, O. We don’t need half of your tax increase. We need a substantial tax CUT!
and if you can’t start cutting the excessive spending NOW when it is doing us the most harm, then nobody believes you about any proposed cuts in year 2025
Lying POS.
How could fox stand there with a straight face? We don’t need even steven spending and cutting. the Cutting has to be WAY more than the spending, that’s how you REDUCE deficits.
Can I nominate Dave Ramsey for budget director?
I think O is being coached with drama lessons for this fight,’
He knows its won on TV.
Total BS from Mr. Transparency. He not only move the goal posts, he also strecthed the field.
Obama is a a full bag of Cr@p!
LIAR
Our founding fathers gave newspapers extraordinary protection in the Constitution. In exchange they were to be the last check and balance in our political system.
We are now at the point where almost 100% of the old main stream media support the goals of the far left. And if you are a member of the far left, the ends justify the means. Lying is not a problem.
This administration does not even attempt to provide cover for their lies. They can make any statement about anything and the media will report it as truth, and demonize anyone that attempts to correct the record (which is why they have spent years demonizing Fox news and conservative radio shows).
Now all they have to do is say “Well that comes from Fox and you know how bias they are”, and the people will believe it to be so.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. We are at that stage where they feel they can say and do anything they want.
History has proven that even absolute dictators will fail when they push their citizens too far. As always no one really knows where that point is. Also no one can predict what will happen to those that have been lying to the people when that point is reached, I suspect it will not be pretty.
Compromise means more can kicking. Who would have guessed?
First, we raise the Debt Ceiling because an ALL DEMOCRAT MAJORITY pushed handouts to un-sustainable levels, and now we want to pay for that on the backs of those who have "more than their fair share"? So...if we cut back on OTHER spending, then taxing is okay?
What a dork.
where are those fact checkers from the debates?
Lying sack of shyte and the media will dutifully (joyously) convey his lies
A man capable of lying like this is also capable of more serious crimes. It's ominous that he has failed to close down Gitmo; he may be holding it open for his real enemies.
