Why do I get the feeling that Biden knows something about where the economy is headed in 2016. Could Donald Trump seriously be our President? No way the dems win if the economy is in the tank.

Don't under estimate the power of stupid in this country.

I know, people still vote for Republicans after the the last one drove us into the second worst depression in our history, and a Trillion dollar plus deficit.

One of pales in comparison to the 7,000,000,000,000 that Obama has added to the debt. But hey, more free shit right.

I've gone over this several times, and you right-wingers still never understand. You are either stupid, or you willingly deny facts. Which one is it?

The debt has only grown so much because the deficit was so high when Obama got into office.
Imagine you have a wife, and she goes out and finances 10 brand new cars. Holy crap, you now owe thousands every month that you can't afford! You're going into more and more debt every month. Then, she leaves you with all of these cars to pay for, and a growing total debt.
It takes you a little bit of time, you sell off some of the cars, but you still have a few more and you're still growing the debt! Not nearly as fast as you were growing the debt when your ex-wife was there, but it is still growing.
The deficit has gone down steadily since Obama became President. So, your complaint is that he isn't fixing your guy's mess fast enough...

I'll even go back to 1980 for adding to the deficit... you can see which Presidents were the worst at that (I'll give you a hint, they weren't Democrats):

Your "free shit" quote is more factless bullshit. Government spending has been pretty much flat under Obama:

One day you'll learn how to support your claims with facts. I await that day with open arms.

I'm imagining this but I still don't understand how debt grows without adding more debt. All of my loans get smaller each months payment, lowering my debt.

I mean, I suppose if you can't pay for something and you aren't paying it down it'll grow due to interest. OK so I'm imagining this now. Riddle me this. Why would you add more government spending projects if you can't pay the debts you already have?

One way to not get out of debt is to keep adding to the debt through new projects.

I don't give 2 shits who the president is or what party they come from, the overspending on bullshit pet projects needs to stop.

More free shit right? Effer's insurance just went from tolerable (for her only, the family plan was atrocious) to the worst plan I've ever seen. $150/mo for her in a HSA plan, $4k deductible, 40% after deductible. But hey everyone "the premium went down, yay! and is now in line with the affordable care act."

Yep. That's affordable.

I messed this up. effers insurance is $400 a month for just her! And then when she hits the astronomical deductible she still gets to pay 40% thereafter! Luckily, my company offers a family plan that is $300/month...

Definitely "affordable," thanks Obama.
