Also, note how the two biggest portion of our debt is due to Liberal politics: Medicare and Social Security. Wow, what an intelligent idea!
••••Not even close to the truth - where the hell do you get your data. I want links; come on - support your statements!
1945 Harry Truman sends a message to Congress asking for legislation establishing a national health insurance plan. Two decades of debate ensue, with opponents warning of the dangers of "socialized medicine." ... July 30, 1965 Medicare and its companion program Medicaid, (which insures indigent recipients), are signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson as part of his "Great Society." Ex-president Truman is the first to enroll in Medicare.
AFAIK, Truman and Johnson were not conservatives. Aren't Democrats known as liberals?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), often referred to by his initials FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States. He was a central figure of the 20th century during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war. Elected to four terms in office, he served from 1933 to 1945 and is the only U.S. president to have served more than two terms.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Roosevelt created the New Deal to provide relief for the unemployed, recovery of the economy, and reform of the economic and banking systems, through various agencies, such as the Works Project Administration (WPA), National Recovery Administration (NRA), and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA).[1] Although recovery of the economy was incomplete until World War II, several programs he initiated, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), continue to have instrumental roles in the nation's commerce. Some of his other legacies include the Social Security system and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).OK, there you have links.

And another Democrat -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._RooseveltFranklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), often referred to by his initials FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States.

OK, there you have links.
Let me spell it out for you - The United States owes the Social Security system over a trillion dollars. Does this help you?

How can Medicare and Social Security be the 2 biggest portions of our debt when Social Security by itself has taken in over a trillion dollars that has been borrowed to make the budget look better. It is not a hole in the budget - it fills the holes in the budget.

Whenever Obama does something, I think of what McCain with the help of Palin would have done.
No one died when Clinton lied.

What a pathetic and flawed reasoning that is!
Give credit and judgment to a person for what [s]he does, and not for what you think [s]he would do. The deeds and actions so far are there for everyone to see; no pretty words can camouflage the doing, no flattering promises can change his choices.
I am afraid I am throwing pearls to the swines, since I doubt you care about it.
