I expected some bullshit excuses about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it appears that the resident libtards don't even believe we have a problem, which is step 1. Sad.

Our national debt has more than doubled over a decade to 18 trillion, it is still growing at nearly 1 trillion per year, pretty much all Dems and a good chunk of Pubtards don't care, and any token effort to cut spending is framed as "Republicans Will Shut Down the Government!!!!"

We are literally witnessing the decline of America in rising red ink, and our leaders fiddle while the fat befuddled masses enjoy their idiocracy.

Obamaflection: a defense mechanism employed by a libtard when reminded of how shitty of a president Obama is. Accusations of satisfaction derived from the pain and suffering imparted by Obama's failed policies, blaming vague and undefined extrinsic forces, such as macro-factors or geography, for such failures, and the pervasive use of poorly designed excel charts and self-serving editorials are all common identifiers of Obamaflection.

Those afflicted with Obamapathy, a sub-sociopathic mental disorder, often exhibit rampant Obamaflection antisocial behavior. Other symptoms include rectal trauma, incoherent babbling, loss of cognitive ability and become divorced from reality.

clinical obamaflection and Obamapathy on display. Edna, seek help. You are a caricature of a leftist lemming.

LOL confirmed.  Why don't you post more graphs that say stuff other than what you think they say.

What you call excuses and bullshit is actually fact.   

The pubs spent close to a decade increasing the Pentagon, extending overseas conflict, giving away free prescriptions, and adding an entirely new agency for Homeland security.   They added all this and made no responsible moves to raise revenue to pay for them.  These things mentioned are still with us.

Which party has controlled one or both houses of Congress since 2006 . . . until very recently?   Which administration has willingly gone along with with the continuing resolutions knowing full well it was essentially a blank check, and knowing that any type of budget during the last session of Congress would never make it to the President's desk? 

Prog Libs work desperately to pooh-pooh away the workforce participation rate, it's kind of . . . sad.

Probably because its a stupid metric dax.  The vast numbers of baby boomers are an obvious cause of the issue. Combine that with a continued increase in productivity and efficiency its it becomes all the more glaring.  You can't simultaneously taut the benefits of McDs kiosks for order taking and then turn around and talk about lost jobs.

And the simple control of congress is another stupid metric since you need some degree of consensus to pass a budget.  Rarely does one party control both houses to that extent.

It's an applicable and viable metric and no amount of obfuscation is going to change the reality.   Everyone understands the baby boomer issue and the technology issue, but we aren't in an IRobot world yet.  I won't even get into what the vast majority of jobs that have been "created" and the policies that have made them what they are.

LOL, don't try to "there's no olive branch" away the lack of a budget.  For example, there was no way the Democratically controlled Senate was ever going to allow a budget to reach the president's desk in an election cycle.   Get real.

You can't argue with simple demographic shifts.  I mean it would be the same as people in China bitching in 50 years that there aren't enough women to marry because the men don't try enough.  At a certain point the shifts in population change everything.  That is the reality why SS and medicare are in a budget crunch. 

And you can't expect the Senate to pass a budget when its loaded with poison pills.  Oh and what about the House?  This is a larger issue owing to the problem of a dual party system and one party holding people hostage.

Prog libs want to use every factor to make themselves feel good about the workforce participation rate, but you can't argue about the people who have just given up, or simply moved out with the click of a mouse,  you simply can't make them go away with a narrative that fits an agenda.

The administration has languished in the current climate knowing full well they didn't need to put any stakes in the ground in regards to a budget because they had Harry Reid and company blocking and tackling for them the entire way.  This is why you get to cling to ridiculous talking points about "only" running a $6-800 billion dollar annual budget deficit in an era of record tax receipts.   You have no footing, give up.

And people like you want to go back to a bullshit system of pre new deal economics which was leading the country to ruin, you have no footing because I can prove to you with the history of this country that the gilded age economics is mumped up. 

You can't deny that the larger issue with labor participation isn't about baby boomers.  That is people who bitch about social security because illegals get aid for dependent minors when its the baby boomers who are sucking the system dry.  One is a drop in the bucket compared to the other.

Lots of conservatives complained about that, and you might recall Injun, Dems were swept into control of Congress in 2006 on the promise of reversing many of those things, and they did the exact opposite.

True, but thinking that they could reverse those programs is asinine.   

Where was the fiscal responsibility to handle these new spending ventures?

Lets also not confuse the incompetence of the Dems to do ANYTHING as a commentary on their policies.  The party is run by a bunch of idiots.

Unfortunately, the Dems are far more competent at advancing their agenda - growth of government - than the Pubtards are at advancing their professed agenda. Exhibit A: ramming through Obamacare. It's hard enough to reduce spending when many Pubtards don't want to - it is impossible when those Pubtards are joined by every single Democrat.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Look at the dems in Kansas:
Screaming about a $250 million budget shortfall (half of what Sebelius stuck Brownback with, which apparently was okay), while talking about what an improvement an $800,000 million dollar federal deficit is (improvement from monumentally shitty years they created).

The US elects the most conservative house in years and they get chewed to pieces for an $80 billion sequester.

People forget that these people worked really hard to award themselves our money (well 70% ours and 30% borrowed), and they'll fight like hell to keep it. It's their livelihood, their treasure trove.

You really think the current ACA is what Obama and the Dems wanted?  You have to be rough ridin' joking.

They sure did. As Joe Biden proudly proclaimed "this is a big fuckin deal." It sure was Joe.

The Dems are unfortunately VERY competent at making things worse. As another example, with the exception of Obama's sequester blunder, the Dems have thwarted every GOP effort to cut spending.
