It appears that the dates are switched on those numbers, but anyway.

Well heck, what is a trillion here or there matter? We are so screwed now and in the hole so deep, we will never get out anyway. So just keep running it on up. It would take 20 generations to pay it off, but we know it ain’t gonna happen.

“Obama doubles America’s publicly held debt in just 5.2 years”

No the RINOCRATS did that in just 5.2 years. Blame all around, including the lying, red-eyed, commie sack ‘o’ fodder squatting in the White Hut.

As much as I would like to blame Obama for this, the Congress has control of the purse strings. All overspending is the fault of our Congress, half of which has been controlled by spineless Republican’ts for the last 4 years.

Here comes all the but, but, buts...

Facts are inconvenient things to people with an agenda that is not bound to truth.

I’m not paying it.
I’m already adjusting my lifestyle lower as indicated by these facts.

Not giving the democrats an out, but “we” elected a republican house that took over in Jan 2011 to stop this. They didn’t do it. So they equally share the responsibility. They should have the balls to really shut down the government. And that means Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and obama’s salary and perks. Close the damned white house. Turn out the lights in the house and go home.

No.

This is about doubling the debt. Democrats have.

I totally agree with both of you that the spineless republican "leadership" hasn't done nearly enough to fight Obama.

But the democrats had full control of everything for the first couple of years when the enormous stimulus bill was passed, and the TEA Party made an honest effort to get things under control and were stabbed in the back by the leadership. And the president is the guy who sets the agenda, for better or for worse.

But, but, but.

Both parties suck. Both parties spend too much and are keen to strip us of our liberties.

A pox on them all.
