The president can also veto. Plus, congress doesn't write, it amends. Here's the way it's worked: Republican president + Democratic congress = deficit Republican president + Republican congress = deficit Democrat president + Republican congress = lower deficit or balanced budget Democrat president + Democrat congress = lower deficit
I love the way you left out Obama's first 6 months and his deficit. When you include that, it kind destroys your whole argument. I would expect nothing less from you.
You can see the "Obama" entry on the graph denoted by the amount above the horizontal line. Additionally, you're probably thinking of budget projections, as the 2009 budget year was written in 2008. Your insults grow tiring.
Obama is planning on running up 10T of deficits during his term alone and you seem to think that you have of an argument that the 3.8T that all combined republican presidents have done is worse. I don't know where that argument sells, but it doesn't sell here.
Okay, please show us where Obama is "planning" on running up 10 trillion of deficits during his term. You're likely confusing the national debt, which is $11 trillion or more with the deficit. True, because any facts are countered with absolute nonsense.
There's a big difference between what I want and what is likely to happen. Allow me to demonstrate. I want Elle Macpherson to be under my desk ready to do my bidding, but that's only slightly more likely to happen than voters waking up realizing that: TANSTAAFL Google it.
Maybe its from the CBO. <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YICBAWVh6w8/SghFGhjfXqI/AAAAAAAAB-A/6HmKMzzfI6c/s400/GR2009032100104.jpg" />
Its part of the White House? The CBO is the Congressional Budget Office. Explain how the Congressional Budget Office is part of the White House.
