    Let's talk about Obama who basically raised the national debt by more than all the other presidents combined. Even by 2012 be was already holding the record on a per household inflation adjusted basis.

    1.So did Bush and Reagan when they were President.

    2.Most of Obamas debt is because of the 1.2 trillion dollar deficit he inherited.Reagan's and Bush's debt is mostly because of deficits they created.

    Ah yes, there it is again. When it's a republican, it's their fault. When it's a democrat, it's a republican's fault.

    And when a Republican is in the WH, the Dems all become fiscal conservatives.

    LOL I can't even say that to myself without laughing out loud.

    It's hilarious, I know. Just understand that most of the time the republicans who are fiscal conservatives usually go crazy spending when they get in power. Fault is on both sides, because the system is broken.

    Clinton and Obama left the deficit lower than it was when they came into office.Reagan and Bush left the deficit higher than it was when they came into office(Bush turning a budget surplus that would have been paying down the debt into a 1.2 trillion deficit that added trillions to the debt).

    Like Reagan and Bush, Trump will leave the deficit higher than it was when he came into office.

    I have a serious question. Something I don't understand about lefties.
    Are you all really supporting California's crazy high taxes?
    Don't you think they should be cut back to normal levels?
    Why would you support govt taking money from people at such high rates?
    Do you enjoy seeing the state take money from people.

    My wife works in a hospital. She told me last night some of the docs are cutting back to half time. The doctors don't need the money they have been working a long time. They worked because the patients and their fellow doctors and nurses need them. Now they are cutting back on their hours.

    Does the state really wish to see talented people leave the state or cease working?
    It just seems lefty politicians are so short sighted and greedy or worse?
    I don't understand it.
    Please explain.

    Focus on deficit, ignore debt. When we talk debt, make sure to show debt as a % of GDP. Anything to change the statistics to suit the narrative. Ignore truth.
