The real question is how will this do in the house, will Boehner use the house dems to get it passed?
I think its only temporary though, once the remaining baby boomers retire expect it to go back to +1 trillion a year.
Yeah, of course I know. The total debt is, what, 17 trillion give or take. I'm pointing out the deficits are down, way down, compared to a few years ago.
Sure the QE program helps the stock market, however, it is also because corporate profits are at an all time high and because the rest of the world is not doing well economically, therefore people put money in the US stock market.
Because the European economy is incredibly unstable compared to the US? Why do you think the stock market is at an all time high? The US is still one of the best countries in the world right now to keep your money in.
"the economy is imploding" Actually, as Europe goes to sh** economically, and as people stop trusting the numbers coming out of China more and more people will put their money back into the states. The deficit is already down to, what, 500 billion I think in the next coming years? Already half of what it was. All this has nothing to do with Obama or the republicans, its a world economy now its much larger than just the US government.
Obama will leave office the same way Clinton left office, republicans will think hes terrible while the rest of the country (democrats + independents) will view him favorably. Heck he helped Obama win re-election in 2012. Again, keep up the affirmative action comments, you might as well donate fifty bucks to the DNC every time you do, it has the same effect.
I know the republicans aren't calling the shots, I was just pointing out they only complained because Obama didn't go through congress, not because of what he actually did. As for the syrian rebels, yep the republicans are calling to arm them too (as are the democrats). McCain, graham, lieberman (although technically an independent he carrys huge favor among the republicans) all called for arming Libya rebels.
*Afghanistan not Iraq.
You would have to find proof he deliberately didn't order the rescue to improve re-election chances. Sadly he'll get a pass if all the republicans can prove is he lied about the video being the cause.
