I think that we can all agree on the fact that most of those who vote for Democrats are, for the most part, uneducated, morally challenged, rather lazy as well as being either too gullible or just too stupid to figure out that what the Democrats are telling them is nothing more than a bunch of BS. So therefore when Barry "Almighty" tells them, as he has done repeatedly, that raising the nation’s borrowing limit "won’t add a dime" to the federal debt, they just not their pointy little heads in agreement. And when you point out to them that the government already has borrowed the equivalent of more than 60 Trillion dimes since he took office, their eyes glaze over and you just get this blank stare in return.
The very simple fact is that when Barry "Almighty" first became president, back on what was that very fateful day in January 2009, the total federal debt stood at $10.6 Trillion. Just this week, it hit the rather staggering amount of $16.7 Trillion. Now for all you braindead liberals, that would be an increase of 57 percent. Now keep in mind here, that during the same time frame under President George W. Bush the total federal debt rose 38 percent. And under ‘Slick Willie’ Clinton, it rose 32 percent. Granted, neither one of those figures should have been seen as being anywhere acceptable, but they have since been dwarfed by what Barry has managed to rake up since assuming office.
Barry’s and the Democrats continue in their effort to hoodwink the American people by insisting to perpetuate the nonsense that the government will somehow run out of authority to pay its bills by Oct. 17 unless Congress raises the debt limit once again to allow even more borrowing. Barry portrays the move as one of simple responsibility. "It does not increase our debt," he said. "It does not grow our deficits. All it does is allow the Treasury Department to pay for what Congress has already spent." But Barry rarely, if ever, mentions the fact that it is he who, by law, approves congressional spending, and his idiotic argument only serves to gloss over the nation’s rapidly ballooning total debt.
"It’s certainly not the whole story," said Alex Brill, who’s a budget specialist at the American Enterprise Institute. "We’ve seen a dramatic increase in the debt held by the public in the last four or five years, and it’s projected to only get worse." Which only goes to show just how dishonest Barry has been, and continues to be, on the topic of our debt. And since when do we ever actually get the whole story from Barry? What he does take great pleasure in doiing, however, is to look us all right dead in the eye while he lies right to our face, and then laughs about how much smarter he is than the rest of us. This is the caliber of the pathetic little man who is our president.
So it was then that on Oct. 4, the debt held by the public, not including Social Security and Medicare, had risen 89.3 percent since Barry took office, according to FactCheck.org. The administration recently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1 and $626 billion the year after that. "At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency," FactCheck said in its quarterly statistical report on Barry’s tenure in office. That’s why many Republican lawmakers say that is the reason spending cuts and entitlement reform should be part of the discussion to raise the debt limit. But Barry stubbornly refuses to cut any amount of spending.
Barry has said, repeatedly, that he will NOT talk about long-term budget issues until Republicans agree to reopen the government and raise the debt limit without any preconditions. So, I guess, he’s only willing to negotiate after he has gotten everything that he wants. Meanwhile, House Speaker John Boehner, said Wednesday that linking spending reforms to increases in the debt limit is "common, bipartisan practice." The Republican leadership pointed to a Congressional Research Service report last month that said Congress has used debt-limit laws to change fiscal policy 20 times since 1917. In that same 96-year span, the nation’s debt limit has been raised an incredible 103 times.
And in what has been his increasingly contentious showdown with Congress, Barry also has been rather fond of pointing out that budget deficits, the annual red ink that contributes to the total debt, have been falling at the fastest pace in 60 years. But that’s only true in large part because the amount of our spending shot up, pretty dramatically, in his first term as the administration blew through nearly a Trillion dollar in a bogus effort to blunt the impact of the supposed "Great Recession". And although a "grand bargain" on spending and entitlements eluded Barry and congressional Republicans in 2011, Mr. Brill said, it is that same kind of approach that’s still needed to get the debt under control.
Finally, it has been said, and more times that I can to count, that part of the problem that the Republicans have is in properly articulating their message. Well, while that may be true, they also need to remember that whenever they find themselves speaking to those who have a tendency to vote for Democrats, they must be mindful to keep the dialogue in what is no higher than a third grade level. Because, unfortunately, that is the mentality that they are essentially going to dealing with in any such conversation that takes place with these people. Which, of course, only serves to make their task all the more difficult. People need to be made to understand what’s happening here, even if we need to resort to the use of coloring books.
