  1. +Carluchi DiSieno More people in this country need to wake up to that reality.

  2. +Steven Dean Stop feeding on the shit sandwich the media is pushing in your face. We're not at war with anybody or any country. Our so-called leaders are not ignoring the "facts". Gingrich is pimping the gullible into voting for more military contracts for the companies that buy his time to promote their products.. As long as you are convinced we are "at war" the money will keep flowing into their pockets and out of yours. If the U.S. would stop destabilizing governments we could concentrate on making this country what it once was again.

  3. +Steven Dean Welfare is not out of control. You've been led to believe the poor are sucking the economy dry. That's part of the class warfare propaganda to distract you from thinking too much about the real reason wages have been flat and now going down for 3 decades.

  4. +Steven Dean Are You under the impression that $19 trillion was sent out in welfare cheques? Please! Spare me that idiocy. Social Security? It's still a solvent, self paying program. Medicaid? Paid by the states. Welfare? Paid by the states. USDA Food Stamps? The average cost per meal for a recipient in 2014 was $1.40! Every man, woman and child in the U.S. would have had to receive around $60,000 each to create a debt that large. Maybe you could show us some actual figures, from reliable sources, showing just where exactly that money went.

  5. +Steven Dean You'll have to do better than that. Actual numbers for those are: Current outstanding student loans and the projected increase cost of the Affordable Care Act for 2016, combined, are slightly over $2.4 trillion. If you're going to waste space with more repeated guesswork, don't bother to reply again.

  6. +Steven Dean Yet again you're making it up as you go. 10 Trillion when Bush left office! The fact that they ran their wars "off budget" didn't negate the huge debt incurred during that time nor the additional cost to keep the military funded for those wars; years after he left office. Stop pestering me with your nonsense. If you can't do a simple google search for "factual" information on the debt, not just presenting your gut feelings about how Obama has wrecked the economy, then just STFU. Please.
