The thing about those predictions is that it takes a snapshot of where we're at right now, then projects it for the next ten years at the exact same pace. Maybe if Republitards start allowing the president to do his job it would shrink even more?

Funny you cited an article that proves you wrong.
"Granted, this trend won’t last: “The White House projected the deficit to bottom out at $496 billion in 2018, then start ticking back up to $593 billion in 2022.”"

Um yeah but that's not the point? If it's shrinking just a little bit it's obvious that we're on the right track.

guys i have a confession

i've never airsofted before. i'm getting a gun sometime this year. any suggestions on what to wear and behave on the field?

get a face mask and if you want a nice jacket that's comfortable and durable get a condor softshell. make sure you also have boots.

and on the field, don't "light anyone up" and always call your shots.

I don't get Democrats or Republicans. It's like a two headed snake, one head tells you something, they other says something completely different from what the other says. Also they both try to try to bite each other, but their own venom would kill them in the process.
The Middle East must be the new Balkans or something. 1914 was the year World War 1 started and was the result of Austria-Hungary trying to intervene in the affairs of one nation and Russia said no, but they did anyway. Then boom, domino effect and all the alliances got together and started fighting. The year is 2013 so it makes you wonder if history will repeat itself or not.

harm why do you have to be so damn agreeable
and moonstar do you think bush tax cuts and two wars have nothing to do with the deficit that is shrinking?

Damn right. At least we wouldn't have this stuffy Healthcare plan Obama's doing, and maybe Romney would have some sense when it came to this Syrian conflict. Obama is not concerned about Syria, he's defending his "Legacy" as a President.

Obama is going down as one of the worst Presidents along with Bush.

Seriously?
You Republitards pay too much attention to what you disagree with. He has tons of good for America, and I mean it. He stopped/is stopping two endless wars that had a HUGE impact on the deficit you guys complain about so much, Obamacare is actually good because not only does it benefit so many people with such little cost per person but it actually saves lives; 40,000 people died from poor to no avaliable healthcare. Obamacare gives a hand to the poor communities that are paying attention to not starving, and not healthcare.

Sadly, you people complained about Obama's plan for tax reform that he conformed to your whining and extended Bush tax cuts, which you think had NO IMPACT on the deficit (again, which you complain about so much.) Maybe if Republicans listened to Obama we would be in a better place.

Yet you whine about a conflict in Syria that has a limit to 90 days and no boots on the ground? How about the two ten year wars that were endless. Not only that but the governments in Iraq and Afghanistan are now severely unstable and abusive.

I really do not get you Republicans. Just keep living in your fantasy land.

It's despicable seeing how the Senate approved of us striking Syria. It's not like Obama wasn't going to still attack them without the Senate's approval since he still had the authority to do what he felt was most necessary. Obama waited for their approval because it really does make him look much better as a president. I don't think that there is any question in my mind that Syria will retaliate against us. I think we are in for a tough ride. Obama you promised these types of things wouldn't happen. We were all on your side because we thought you'd be different than Bush. All politicians are the same, all deceiving and manipulative.

this

i'm actually disappointed in our president. not angry, but disappointed.
at least there will be no boots on the ground, and this will be done in 90 days because of the set limit. but still, we shouldn't be in another conflict.

the good of it all is that the slaughtering of innocent civilians will come to an end finally.
