It is Obama you cannot afford. He was confiscated the wealth of the nation and is redirecting it toward BS political causes.

ken..Can you explain to me just what the deficit under Bush had to do with the democrat crooks running fannie and fredie or what it has to do with crooked bankers or crooked company executives? Did the tax cuts in your mind cause these people to be stupid or corrupt? Tax cuts are helpful to all people and certainly to those low income people who defaulted on their home loans. So why do you keep bringing up the Bush tax cuts or deficit as somehow connected to this financial crisis brought about by corrupt politicians?

As a country, tax cuts aren't spending, so they aren't "affordable" or "not affordable". Reducing taxes doesn't reduce income (in fact it tends to increase total income), it just keeps some of the income from going to the government. For the government (which is not the country as a whole, only part of it), they can be unaffordable, but if either taxes are already very low, or your in some near total war (like WWII) or if the government lacks restraint on spending (as it did under Bush, and now does to an even greater extent with Obama as president) What's really unaffordable is all this additional spending.
