that didnt answer anything.
but ok... if thats what you think, so be it, who am i to try to actually do root cause analysis. Silly me.
God forbid "we spent a lot because this happened and that happened"...na.. its "we spent a lot because the negro is a retard"... gotcha
Did you read my response?
You asked: "Why do we spend more than we take in?" I responded: "We spend more than we take in because we're fiscally irresponsible."
You asked: "Why the spike in spending?" I responded: "We had a spike in spending because we elected an inexperienced, incompetent president who worked with an inept irresponsible Congress to explode our national debt."
You asked: "What is the tax climate that results in less money?" I responded: "I don't know what you mean by 'tax climate that results in less money'?"
The quotes in your last post are what is retarded. Certainly didn't come from me.
If you want "root cause analysis," ask GigantorX. He's a lot more well versed in specific economic indicators than me. My approach is a lot simpler.
But I don't get the impression you really want a discussion about this anyway. You're more concerned with joining the Soul Crusher groupies/stalkers and finding hypocrisy (which has zero to do with any kind of root cause analysis).
