>> Stimulus failed? Record profits for corps, Stock market all time high, auto industry saved, millions of jobs saved and 3.+ million new jobs created... Economic growth at 1.3%. U6 unemployment at 15%. Fed printing $40B/month. We are in a "modern day depression". >> As a hot shot accountant you think the only way to compare is by absolute values???/ Don't accountants normalize data? Is Romney's 14 % tax rate a lie?????? The point of using percentages is to normalize data. If debt increased from $1 to $2, that's a 100% increase. If debt increased from $1 Trillion to $2 Trillion, that's a 100% increase. Which is worse? Percentages cannot be used to compare period changes to cumulative data points. It isn't about pride. It is about fiscal responsibility. Your guy doubled the deficit the day he took office and kept it doubled for four consecutive years. Doubled from when to when.....Bush left a 10.7 T deficit...we are at 15.8 T now!! You obviously don't understand the difference between "deficit" and "debt".
