So the Dems spend but pay cash(taxes) the Repubs spend and put it on credit(debt)

they both spend

You are correct, Nilsen. Debt/GDP would show that.

All spending is not debt.

Those graphs by Viking are not valid. Debt/GDP is the indicator.

I think the Ameriwhiner above will find that there is nothing projected about 9 trillion Dollars.

The President, whoever that is, signs the budget into law. It is congress that appropriates the funds for any fiscal budget.

Or am I mistaken?

debt goes up during a war but gets paid off. debt that is made for socialism does not show for a few years... sometimes decades but it always grows and grows and grows no matter who is in power after that.

Democrats cut debt by cutting defense but they increase the overall debt for all time with socialist programs.

What you need to do is look at what our tax dollars are spent on. You will see that the majority is the social programs that were started by democrats..

there is very little left over for discretionary spending. I agree that republicans spend far too much too tho.

Democrats could cut the spending over nite again.. just like Klinton did.. you simply close all the bases after sending the troops home.. a huge cut in spending... spending that would have stopped and been paid for anyway but.. looks good on such a chart.. then you start another medical or education or carbon credits type program that really doesn't start to get tooooooo expensive for a few years and.. then.. more every year forever.

the democrats are all saying that none of us are paying enough taxes.

halo... depends on if you think in short term or long term.. democrats increase debt forever with social programs and reduce debt for the short term by gutting the military.

more than all of our tax dollars are already spoken for with social programs and defense.. there is little or no money left to play with... you can increase social programs by gutting defense but.. the social programs grow and grow no matter who is in power once they are put into place.

You are better off putting the money in a big pile and burning it than to vote democrat.. if you burn it then it is just gone... if you "invest" it in social programs then the amount needed grows at horrific rates.. it is like trying to keep a boiler working by shoveling money into it.

Look at any pie chart for spending.

The republicans have shamed the democrats lately in their ability to outspend even the most decadent liberal politician. The enthusiastic way the current administration spends my tax money hand over fist is proof that the party needs a reboot. That's why I'm voting Paul.

It isn't me trying to point out how bad the Norwegian Gov't is. Instead it is your jealous arse that is.

Admit it, you're just pissed your not an American and that no matter what you say or do, it will never matter.
