    Hey. Im ShutDown (yes I made this account during the government shutdown). Im fiscally conservative, socially I don't know what the hell I am, and overall I would say I have pretty moderate views. I live in the US and the issue most important to me right now is balancing the budget and paying off the national debt. My two choices for 2016 president right now are Rand Paul and Paul Ryan.

    So I think that pretty much covers the basics, if you want to know anything more about me feel free to ask.

    Welcome. But you do realize that the national debt has been cut by ⅔ in the last few years, right?
    And that, except for a few years (under Clinton, and in the 80's I believe. . .I'll have to look for that source again), we have NOT HAD a balanced budget for about 200 years?

    Here is a little reality check:

    No HERES a reality check. What was the national debt that Obama himself called unpatriotic and irresponsible? What was the debt the day he took office? and what WHAT is the debt as of this moment?
    Reality Check will illustrate your brain will never allow your fingers to ever and I mean ever type those factual straight up "numbers".

    What happened right BEFORE Obama took office?

    Nothing, right? There was no "CRASH" of the entire Wall Street, Banking, and housing market, right?

    And what has happened to that debt in the last 4 years? Want to have a look at it?

    You are trolling. And I am not interested in your crooked opinions.

    If you do not consider the Wall Street and banking disaster and the housing market crash the cause of the HUGE increase in debt in 2009 (which, by the way, was MOSTLY still under Bush's budget planning), you do not know what "facts" are.

    Have a nice life. I am not interested in your games.
