You believe that nonsense?

We had never had a trillion dollar deficit before Obama took office. Since then, deficits have YET to return to the level of Bush's worst deficit.

Medicare spending is down, why is that? Because Congress has arbitrarily reduced payments to Medicare providers with the underpayment simply being shifted to private insurance companies. Private insurance is being kept afloat with taxpayer dollars. Hell, 85% of Obamacare recipients are being subsidized in one way or another. Meanwhile, physicians are scrambling to get away from Medicaid AND Medicare as quickly as they can. Medicaid patients are using MORE ER services because doctors won't see them!

The "official" unemployment rate was 7.8% when Obama took office, and he promised that by spending a trillion dollars it would stay under 8%. Nope. What is FAR WORSE is the LFPR, which really tells the story -- sitting at a 35 year LOW because of people having given up on getting jobs.

The Medicare trust is still vastly underfunded, but it doesn't matter because by 2030 Medicare patients will ONLY be able to see nurses, as doctors choose to spend their time on patients who have insurance. If we still have insurance by then.

So, not one of the points you listed is valid. Meanwhile, the national debt will more than double in his eight year term, economic growth is on life support, he has put the entire Middle East into turmoil, abandoned Israel altogether, and practically every other nation is in shock that this country has elected such an ignoramus to run its foreign policy. The best health care system in the world has been wrecked and is in the midst of a total meltdown.

And Obama's CBO -- the same guy he called on the carpet to pressure him to lie about the numbers -- has stated that our deficits are "unsustainable." Why? Because of Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare subsidies, and the interest on the debt.

And you come posting some false Facebook placard about supposed "accomplishments"?
