"And the cost is high. The annual federal deficit is more than $1 trillion, with the national debt approaching $17 trillion."

Let us of course forget that a good part of that deficit was brought about by George W. Bush's tax cuts, which greatly benefitted the wealthy.

You and your facts.

Sure. It's Bush's fault. But... how is that relevant?

Obama is in charge now, and is therefore in charge of fixing it. He knew the situation when he entered office. He knew what it was when he campaigned for another four years. Instead he followed many of Bush's fiscal policies, and increased spending across the board, while cutting deals with Congress to get around their mandated duties of creating a federal budget. He's also the only president to have turned in his budget plan late on consecutive years, the only one to have done so for three out four years of his term, and the one who turned it in latest (98 days).

Bush made a lot of poor decisions. Obama should probably try to not remake those decisions and actually work on getting this country on track.

As much as Mary's my girl I kind of died at the irony of using a gif of her to respond to this. XD

But can we be real here for a moment? Does anyone, even those of you living in San Francisco, believe that an American who earns a Ph.D. in economics is going to be equal to the high school dropout in the marketplace? Anyone? Bueller?

GUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT IS NOT THE MESSAGE THAT OBAMA IS SELLING JFC.

It's about being given the same opportunities via public education and a social safety net so that bright, intelligent, creative children dont' get beat down by society before they've even had a chance to become anything.

I just fucking can't.
