" The man has accomplished NOTHING of significance during his first 3.5 years."

Umm, let's see. His stimulus package resulted in us just barely missing out on a Depression. We were losing 750,000 jobs a month when he took office. After the stimulus was passed, that number started to drop. and the economy to recover.

That was significant.

As the Dem. party likes to say, Osama is dead and GM is alive.

That was significant.

Those are just two, the list is rather long.

What you posted about the Affordable Health Care Act is wrong on every point. For example, the OMB and the CBO both say it will reduce the deficit. Eliminating it will increase it.

"But you've shown here for years that you don't know shit from shinola about the subject."

Says the guy who has been proven wrong every time on the subject.

"Yeah, the "Blame Bush" defense"

Umm, you do know it is true? Granted, you have a certain problem with reality, but...

He ran the deficit up more than any other president, leaving Obama with a $1.3 trillion hole to fill.

"Keynesianism is dead. It has been exposed for what it is -- unworkable"

It is neither dead nor unworkable. The facts support it.

" Who knows, it MIGHT work if what you cited above had ever been tried."

But it has. Europe is slipping into recession again because they went on various austerity programs. As predicted, their economies are contracting, with more austerity leading to quicker contractions. Those are the facts. Not the made up bullshit you keep spouting.

"The nature of government is that it never pays down debt."

Nonsense. Clinton did it. The problem is, when the economy is doing well, we often elect Republicans. Who go on a borrow and spend binge. Look at the debt over the past decades. Until Republicans it went up, sometimes way up. Under Democrats it was either stable or went down. And that trend goes back to the 1970s.
