Obama's "stimulus" plus his half of TARP alone amount to 1.1 Trillion.

LOL, when TARP saved the country it was all Bush, now when it's deficit it's half Obama? How much has been dispersed and how much paid back, BTW?

>>> And both have dedicated taxes. In fact they are LOWERING the deficit.

You are a very confused person.


Tell me that SS and Medicare do not lower the reported deficit number. Go ahead...

>>> Listen you want the will to cut spending? Raise taxes. No more deficit crap... we pay for what we spend, today, not tomorrow.
---------------------------
Fair enough.


Finally agreement.

And what do we do with the $50 Trillion in accumulated deficits from SS and Medicare?

SS you make some slight adjustments. Medicare is tough... our bloated overpriced inefficient health care system needs to be fixed. The status quo will break the economy.

Good luck trying to nail him down on that.

He's likely going to bounce between SS being a Ponzi scheme by design and SS being "the most successful insurance program in history."

At least he tries harder than the "other JF" ...
