matthewcline 0 #52 January 5, 2012 Quotetalk about moving the goal posts. You no longer want to compare to the Clinton 'surplus'...now you want to compare to Obama, which is complicated by the 2008 crash? It's too much to have an adult conversation with you, so I'll speak simply. Gingrich doesn't deserve the credit for the nearly balanced budget in the last 90s. Clinton does. It was tax increases that made it possible. Bush immediately removed those and the deficits quickly soared. Isn't "Surplus" a misnomer? We really never had a "surplus" did we? Wasn't it just a increase in debt at a slower rate/faster rate? This argument is like two kids who are playing baseball in the yard, and the batter puts one through the front window. The two of them had complicity in the event, yet the pitcher is blaming the batter for swinging, as the batter is blaming the pitcher for throwing the ball. Lets work on fixing the window.

Wasn't it just a increase in debt at a slower rate/faster rate? correct. In 2000, the increase in debt was 18 billion. That's why I put surplus in single quotes. That said, it was 0.2% of GDP that year, which beats the hell out of the 3.6% (500B) 2007 year that Mike is senselessly promoting as good, or the >10% trillion dollar deficits we're facing now.

shah269 0 #56 January 5, 2012 Santorum's anal sex problem? What his wife doesn't like back door action? Man feel bad for the guy, nothing worse than being married to a woman who is horrible in bed! I don't care how cute a girl is.....and yes i did just say that....if she sucks in bed and isn't big on being kinky WTF is the point! Oh and this Santorum guy is a dumb fuck! Really bring all of the Senate back for some brain dead fuck who was costing tax payers how many hundreds of thousands per year for her care? Listen to me you fucking fuck, I don't care if your wife is a fucking log in bed and the last time your dick saw her Hershey highway was ..... aahhh never....WTF is the government doing dealing in the lives of other people. The dumb fucks brain was half mush! The MRI said so! So pull the fucking plug! And speaking of plugs, just because you are not plugging your wife's back end like a porn star doesn't mean you need to be angry at gay folks who are getting more ass than you! Stop being so jealous of their sex lives! Be a good republican and just divorce the bitch or find yourself a nice piece on the side! Just don't do a Clinton and go after the fat chick! I mean really man have some pride! Go for a nice stripper named Candy who screams Jesus every time she rides you like a mechanical bull!Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Ms. S isn't allow Mr. S to snake her back door then there is a real problem! I for one, being a shallow self centered fuck, would say dump her ass! Screw the kids out of any money he has. Find a nice well endowed, flexible and accommodating stripper find god and then become the CEO of a small Fortune 500 company and live a great life! I mean who the hell wants to be president! Have you seen the mess this country is in! Look Mr. S you have bigger issues to worry about.....like having a good sex life. So don’t worry another useless gutless brainless well bought out person will just slide on in and we'll keep complaining. You on the other hand can be having epic sex and making millions!Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
