Well, so long as they don't have a plan to add to the deficit, we should be in better shape than we were with Pelosi in charge.

Not with 9.6% unemployment we won't, which would be 12-13% without the stimulus. Not to mention that many of the Republican governors are canceling (as the fat fuck in NJ did) major infrastructure projects that would a) create jobs and b) make their states more competitive in the future by modernizing their transportation systems.

And this is what they just can't comprehend. By simply halting more spending we will be in better shape.
Of course, this is the very opposite of reality. Stop spending and we'll be back in a recession in no time. And it will be worse.
You teabaggers get all resentful when we call you ignoramuses,. But there's no other word for ignorance on this scale.

But that just simply isn't true. As long as businesses are buying back their stock instead of hiring or investing, and as long as consumers are unable to purchase goods and services, the only recovery will be at the very top, not on Main Street.
More to the point, when REALLY pressed for what they'll do, they actually propose things - like extending the Bush tax cuts or repealing or not funding parts of health care reform that will INCREASE the deficit.

The facts speak otherwise.
To begin with, No President ever balanced a Budget. All Budgets are prepared and issued by congress.
The last time a Democrat congress balanced a Budget was under Dwight Eisenhower's Presidency some 50 years ago.
The Republican majority Congress elected in November 1994 presided over two fiscal years with declining deficits—fiscal 1996 and 1997—before it initially balanced the budget in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1996 and 1997, the deficits were $107.4 billion and $21.9 billion respectively. These budgets would have been balanced, but President Bill Clinton did everything he could to stop the Republicans from balancing the Budget, including closing down the Federal Government thereby Strong Arming the Republican congress to spend more.
More recently, the federal budget was balanced in fiscal years 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. A Republican-controlled Congress approved the appropriations for each one of those years and Democratic President Bill Clinton signed them. In fiscal years 1994 and 1995, when President Clinton governed with a Democrat-controlled Congress, the federal government ran deficits of $203.2 billion and $163.9 billion respectively.
In the November 2006 elections, Democrats won back the majority in both the House and Senate, and in the three fiscal years that have started since then (2008, 2009, 2010), they have run record deficits of $458.6 billion, $1.41 trillion and $1.55 trillion.
The interest on the national Debt is $ 415 Billion annualy. And that is with the much lower interest rates of today.
So the best way to balance the US budget, and even to start paying off the National Debt, is to vote the Democrats out of office.

[Deletions]Christian73 saidThat is an extremely biased view that has almost no basis in reality.
Why must the right-wing constantly lie?
Perhaps Christian 73, Please explain whatever part of what I wrote is a lie. If you truly are right, I will gladly correct it and owe a debt of gratitude for correcting me.
If you really can not so that any portion of my post is a lie, I would appreciate you to retract your accusation that I lied.
You also ought to try posting without personal Ad Hominem attacks. I do not dislike you, I just disagree with what you stated to be fact, and I backed it up with what I believe to be sound facts. You have a great smile and are probably a very likable fellow.Christian73 saidAlso, the primary reason why the deficit jumped so much once Obama took office is because he put the wars in the budget, whereas BushCo did accounting tricks to keep them off the books.
I'm no fan of the Bush Presidents, but expenditures when discovered are automatically assigned to the year they were incurred, they do not get assigned to the year they were discovered to be unreported.
But if you know of any specific exceptions to this fact, let me know and I will request of my Democratic Congresswoman and Senators to correct the placement of such expenditures to the year they were actually incurred.

On average, the very richest people in this country are democrats. So much for this BS.

What do you base that on? Have you gone through the Forbes 400 to determine each person's party affiliation?
Warren Buffet.
That gives you a start....

As a matter of fact, I have. Literally almost all of the billionaires are democrats. Republicans have their biggest numbers in the moderately wealthy and the moderate to small business owners -- the ones who are most affected.
