The options are 1) cut the deficit immediately, risk recession but have less debt 2) wait to cut the deficit until later, avert recession but have more debt | ||

On the other hand, there was some weak economic news out of Europe and more discussion of a possible Greek exit that does not bode well for the global economy. | ||

In either case I wouldn't blame Obama for the past couple of days. | ||

In either case I wouldn't blame Obama for the past couple of days. I wouldn't blame Obama individually (although he's part of it). It dropped because we have a split Congress. There is no one-party rule this session (and likely not for the next 6 years). That's gonna cause problems, and Wall Street is pricing itself into this reality. Republicans thought they had the Senate easy, and they got TROUNCED. | ||

Americans, how are you so stupid that you elected Obama so he could implement his simple yet brilliant plan. Do you not see how it will solve all of your problems? It will generate 12 million jobs, wipe away the deficit and lead to a brilliant future. FTFY Different name, same problem. | ||

Or maybe we should go to war, then cut taxes... which would be like saying "well I have two kids about to start college now that I need to pay for... I guess I'll cut my income and put more on the credit card, that would be fiscally responsible..." And that fiscal conservative lesson was brought you by the Republican Party. | ||

Don't forget both parties voted for that war... That's not on him. | ||

I talked today to a physicist that doesn't believe in evolution, and an engineer that thinks that trickle down economics is the answer to all financial troubles. I thought both were joking and was sadly mistaken. | ||

The war wasn't on him, but the tax cut while at war, the first time this nation has ever done that, is on him and the Republican Congress of the time. The last President to balance the budget was Bill Clinton. And before that? Jimmy Carter. Check it, and learn what fiscal responsibility is about. Obama has a plan to balance the budget, we never even knew Mitt Romney's plan because he didn't release it. But as Bill Clinton said, it would probably end up cutting taxes way more than spending and be unbalanced, like every budge passed by Reagen, Bush and Bush. Republicans like to have their cake and eat it too, they just pay for everything with the credit card. | ||

Are you saying that Democrats are better for the economy? | ||

The Bush tax cuts were a work in progress well before war broke out. Its what the country voted for when they elected Bush... and they were pretty responsible at the time. | ||
