Then why is the deficit increasing or staying the same every year while he's in office? Obama isn't doing anything about the major categories that are increasing: Social Security, Medicare, and the Military. In fact, he's made things worse. On SS, he was the architect of the Payroll Tax cuts that have made the SS deficit worse. On Medicare, his Health Care initiative is increasing the Medicare deficit, and on the Military, he's increased that spending every year since the Bush years. In short, Obama has done nothing but talk, when it comes to our budget deficit issues.

Deficits :
FY 2012*: $1,327 billion
FY 2011: $1,300 billion
FY 2010: $1,293 billion
FY 2009: $1,413 billion
FY 2008: $459 billion
FY 2007: $161 billion
