    Most everything on the books is considered constitutional. And I have a feeling the stuff you believe is not will not bode well in a vote. Your plan is completely unrealistic and will end in the financial ruin of this country due to your stubbornness. Congrats. You're the worst president ever.

    The debt that is funding those extra-constitutional programs is well on its way to ending in the financial ruin of the country.

    Not really. We were paying for them just fine before all the tax cuts.

    Deficits were falling until Democrats controlled Congress in 2007.

    What does $1T in new baseline budgeting since 2010 have to do with tax cuts enacted five years earlier?

    Unless you can name a reason for that that specifically has to do with democrats you're just blowing hot air.

    The democrats were unable to pass any economic bills in 2007.

    The constitution contains no blank check clauses. How will cutting spending cause financial ruin for this country.

    Because I'm sure your thinking of cutting the things Ron Paul wants to cut. And if that's the case it can't be done. No one wants to cut medicare, social security and food stamps. Not going to happen. And while you're waiting for it to happen we still have a deficit to pay for. Why don't we just raise taxes to pay for what we got now and THEN try to cut as much as we can?

    You have clearly supported the proposition people should not assemble of voice their opinions or support their causes.

    And now try to shift the subject.

    You OK with Soros running the liberal political front?

    Before the massive Democrat spending increases. We were paying down the deficits, down to $161 Billion when it was Bush and a Republican congress. That changed and then Bush left office and we see where we are.

    This isn't a liberal conservative. The republicans trumpeted the belief that banking and wall street could be TRUSTED to police themselves while their thievery and gelding of SEC oversight resulted in the biggest fraud ever in history by the financial sector. And then THEY got bailed out with our money. So lets agree Obama got stuck with a nasty bill due to this behavior.

    Energy is now hurting the economy. If I am president I tell Iraq and Afghanistan this war cost x trillion. that is the amount of FREE gas we are pumping to pay for it and dumping it on the markets to drive the price of gas to rock bottom. Sorry the hustlers and pimps before Obama created this mess, and while Obama has been almost worthless I am NOT going to blame his attempts to clean up the mess nor am I going to suddenly be fooled by republican sudden fiscal posturing.

    What massive democrat spending? What has been done that has increased the deficit so much? And no the stimulus and bailouts are not deficit spending. They are one time get out of recession spending. They weren't added to the deficit.

    And I'm not sure what you're talking about with 161 Billion. Bush left office with a projected 2009 deficit of 1.2 trillion dollars.

    http://money.cnn.com/2009/01/07/news/economy/cbo_2009_budget_outlook/

    You're talking out of your ass again. Might want to get that checked out.

    That prediction was made before the full force of the recession was known or could possibly have been known. In fact when the prediction was made republicans complained because they thought Obama was overestimating unemployment numbers.

    No you're not. You are simply looking for scapegoats. A-la OBlame-a modus operandi.

    If you, and others rolling on this train of silliness, cared at all you would have read, understood and commended post number two.

    This needless partisan troll thread/poll died right there.

    The problem we need to fix is far more dire than fiscal ruin.

    Im just thinking of living within our means by following the constition. It's really a very simple way to get the debt under control.

    Poor you... Finding it difficult to make political points pitting equal teams against themselves.

    If I cared enough about that sort of abject political hackery, I might have cried.

    It's only simple if you're the king of America. Most Americans do not want to lose what you propose cutting. And we are more than capable of paying for all our social programs if we just raised taxes and cut some more meaningless programs like defense spending. It's that simple

    I don't propose going cold turkey on social welfare, only to give anyone the chance to opt out. We can start by cutting govt agency AAA move down the line to ZZZ.

    To an objective eye, I've done nothing remotely like that.

    Actually I'm not. This is at the heart of my point. Anyone can buy shares of a corporation - from any country. The corporation doesn't recognize nationality. The board may or may not be manned by US citizens. Even the chairman might be from another country, possibly one hostile to American interests. The checks with the corporate logo that the party and candidate receives certainly looks American enough, but what country does the money originate from? The lobbyists might hail from Boise or Tampa, but where their orders come from? Do they really have interests that match American interests? There's no way to really know.

    While I support a person's right to free speech and assembly, whether American or not, I don't support any non-citizen right to use financial influence to bend our government, electoral system, or representatives of the American people to their will.
