Did you know that half of Americans make less than median income???

Bullsh*t.

@bijouxbroussard: Thanks Obama for leaving the definition of the word "median" alone? Am I right?

@bijouxbroussard: I know you're a die hard liberal. But we've doubled our debt. Are you going to blame that on Bush?

Obama passed a bill to allow medians to exist.

@Contagious: "For starters, it's not true. The day Obama took office the debt was 10.626 trillion. It's now at 18.150 trillion. And while he has added 70.2% - it's not double. And it get's better. How much money has the federal gov't spent since he bacame president on ALL expenses related to the illegal and unfortunate decision to invade Iraq. I don't know the answer to this - but I would guess it's in the 1.5 - 2 trillion range. Subtract that from the 18.150 and you have one of the best stewardship's of the budget since Jimmy Carter."

@bijouxbroussard: [i]Bring this up when a conservative mentions Obama's doubled the national debt[/i]. I can google too. lol.

Plenty of it has to do with Congress and their budget, and I don't believe in austerity or in spending half the discretionary budget on the military. Austerity almost always increases the debt-to-GDP ratio, and spending more and more on the military and going to more and more wars in the Middle East is not keeping us safer. The middle class needs to see gains. People need to be able to afford college and healthcare. I oppose the parts of Obamacare that do not allow the sale of insurance across state lines. I don't get the point of that regulation. I do support single payer system, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna support just ANY government action. It has to be something that actually has a good purpose.

Who even is bijouxbroussard? Don't you mean me? Or is there another die hard liberal besides me??

@NFS1235: She is one, and so am I.

Alright let's end this conversation by taking money out of educational funds, environmental protection funds, and medical funds, and just build a wall around this convo.

@NFS1235: Let's put everyone in charge of an agency that he (never she) wants to abolish. Let's left regulations on the drug companies to inspire them to lower their prices, just out of the goodness of their sweet, sweet hearts. Let's write a healthcare bill that takes four million MORE people off of insurance than simply repealing Obamacare. Etc.

@Contagious: Hence the quotes. Doesn't mean it's inaccurate.
