OK--I know you guys would tee off on CA because thats just what you do. Easier than thinking, isn't it?

The argument was about budget surplus, not debt. If you don't know the difference, you really have no business posting on this topic.

I notice that you guys would rather tee off on CA than discuss the Republican economic mythology that has failed so miserably in KS. While in CA, with the Republicans virtually absent, the state is doing quite well, thank you very much.

If you hate CA, don't live here. Because if you lived here, you would be part of a State that subsidizes all of the Red states, except for TX. You would not want to get off your welfare, would you?

Huh? It has been devestating. We now have a popular health care system. Unemployment is lower than the last days of George Bush. Wars based on lies and deceit are over. Stock market is at an all time high. National debt has been reduced. And much of it despite the Republicans doing everything they can --including shutting down the government--to impede progress. I guess it has been devestating -- for the GOP!

According to treasury direct.gov, at the time Obama took over the national debt was $10 trillion. As of 9/30/2012 it had reached $16 trillion. More than 50 percent dislike Obamacare, and while unemployment is down, so is the average wage which means many of the newly created jobs are low income. Virtually everyone in Congress voted for the war in Iraq and lately it has been proven Iraq had chemical weapons which are considered by the CDC to be weapons of mass distraction. Obama has screwed up virtually everything he has touched.
