But when one is an adult, and hair fire free, one understands that the two concepts are distinct from each other. Get thee to a basic economics class.


No that is incorrect. The only people confusing debt and deficit are idiots like you who never understood either until we educated you on the subject years ago. Only the really, really dumb people are still propagating this old refuted meme about Obama spending more than all Presidents combined. No surprise you're among them. Obama brought down the deficit at record levels, that's just a fact. The debt was skyrocketing as he took office primarily thanks to funding Bush's dumb wars along with his tax cuts for the wealthy. Babyboomers retiring by the thousands every day also adds mandatory government spending that has nothing to do with Obama. So none of that constitutes "Obama spending" money. The deficit as a percentage of GDP was a whopping 9.8% in 2009 and was reduced every year Obama was in office to just 2.4%. No person in their right mind who understands the federal budget would ever attribute $10 trillion to "Obama spending."

the poster only mentioned "debt" but your moronic post echoes the prior moronic post by only mentioning deficit.

I addressed both debt and deficit. Brackite said ajax was wrong and he is. Deficits are related to the debt. When you have a deficit, the debt goes up. Obama reduced the deficit every year he was in office, so making him out to be a massive spender is a fools errand. You're saying ajax is correct about the debt, proving you're just as dumb as advertised.

congratulations, but the poster only made a claim about one of those. Your post's attempt to deflect, ehem-move the goalposts, is a tired spittle of most un-informed Democrats who are thoroughly entrenched in the cult of Obama's presidency. But thanks for the superfluous information - your post's lack of actually refuting the claim is duly noted.

Nope, he said he was wrong and then proceeded to talk (ad nausea) about a different topic - basically emphasizing his post's blatant lack of understanding how debt and deficit are not synonymous.

Please, contact your local community college. "Related" is inherent as they are both economic...but whatever relationship you are trying to imagine the context of the poster's claim remains true. Your post's economic logic and understanding would have you claim that Paris Hilton is obviously smart about money because she is rich....because yeah, being rich is related to money.
