Need to continue to cut future costs and remove the damn Bush era tax cuts which were stupid to begin with. It amazes me how so many republicans are clamoring about the debt levels when after 2001 and afterward all they did was try to increase it.
We had a surplus and a declining debt of 6trillion. Now its over 14trillion and they still won't undo the incredibly stupid cuts to the rich and the corporations.
Now we're looking like inept children who can't agree on anything and about to default because minority of the republican party wants to run everything in the extreme. Damn, I hate the tea party. Bunch of extremists. I hope they lose all support in 2012... sad part is there are too many religious zealots in many areas to keep them in.

you do realize obama and his democratic congress made those tax rates his tax cuts, right?
and you do know that said tax cuts went to every american, right?
and you do realize that eliminating those tax cuts wouldnt put a scratch on a dent to our debt, right?
and you do realize obama has added more to the debt than bush did, in a 1/3 of the time, right?
and you do realize that the tea party is the only reason we are even making "cuts" in the first place, right?

Lol, I wouldn't even try to argue logic with him. He seems pretty blinded by hatred.

Except the fact that a number of the things said above need to be qualified, or also are flat out wrong.
Obama has not added more debt than Bush in 1/3 the time. You take 2009 and put that under the previous administration, because it was their budget.
Second, reversing the tax cuts would help to close the revenue gap currently going on. The reality is not only did the tax cuts not get reverses, more tax cuts were added.
Third, Obama didn't in any way get what he proposed, because any tinkering with the tax cuts was a non-starter with the GOP. Hard to own up to something exclusively when you have to make a compromise.
It is important that people see the full picture, but they won't, when are driven by a partisan agenda that prevents them from seeing it.
