Fixed it.

Not hardly. Have to go back a lot farther than that.

There hasn't been fiscal responsibility in the federal gov't since Eisenhower.

Iran must be stopped.

Quote from rubibond007:

You'r wrong, The congress are the ones that takes final responsibility for the budget, Not the president. So Newt Gingrich deserve a metion here. Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, and Obama deficits are nothing compared to the Roosevelt, Truman and Johnson deficits (by GDP ratio). But Obama is going to bankrupt and ruin this country at this rate.

The prospects for growth in productivity are decidedly dimmer now than in the past. That should worry some.
