if anyone is in "state of shock" (which is of course ridiculous) then they are simply stupid

a temporary discount EXPIRED

that's all that happened and since the middle class got their tax cut made permanent it's basically a wash (or very close)

the only people making hay about this are right wing morons

F you liberal morons! 

Do you really think YOU are the one to be calling ANYONE, let alone liberals morons for being in a state of shock over something that was so very predictable? I mean it has barely been 2 months, but have you forgotten the sate of shock YOU were in after the election results?

Just thinking about it has got me laughing out loud.
I hope you've reached a place where you can laugh about how blindsided you were. If not... nevermind.  :-X

so where the other tax cuts that were made permenant...

they could have done the same with this one, instead obama and congress elected to raise taxes on the sacred middles class by 3.5% in the middle of a recession.

you should be pissed about this straw. The bloated, ineffecient, wasteful piss of govt are taking more money away from you while spending more and more.

I hope this opens the eyes of a lot of the idiots who voted for bigger govt and more entitlements or didnt vote at all

sooner or later the middle class will end up footing the bill

I think it was only a 2% raise, but you are correct... Taxes on people like you and I got raised... That's true.

I do wonder and did wonder during all of this discussion why no one said "Hey, that payroll tax cut should be extended."

Why didn't anyone do that I wonder?

Title: Re: Obama voters in state of shock as 2% withholding hike takes hold.
Post by: tonymctones on January 04, 2013, 05:25:17 PM
I believe its 3.5 and also the employers have to pay the other half of that so they also pay 3.5% more per employee.

Imagine how that is going to hurt working capital and the bottom line for many companies...

you think they arent hiring now, it just got more expensive per employee...

way to go obama and congress, you FUCKED US AGAIN!!!!

The govt. will come for the the Upper-Middle Class on down to the Lower-Middle Class money soon enough and I really don't think it's up for argument. There will be no spending "cuts" or cuts to future growth, only more spending, printing and taxing.

Taxes will be raised and deductions will be closed. Only a matter of time.

This is what was voted for.

Exactly.

The point that the retard Straw keeps missing is that he voted for this. Obama bears as much blame as anyone.

No one earning under $250k was supposed to see any tax increase. You would have thought that the Democrats and Obama would have kept that promise and prevented this from happening.

Now you see the moronic Obama supporters solely blaming the Republicans while giving obama a pass. Stating that the original cuts were permanent. So? If the Dems care so much for the middle class they could have made them permanent.

Nope. Obama and Dems are culpable.

It's 2-3% now. It will be higher soon and even higher later on to pay for Obamacare.

That's true. For those who get paid twice a month, their last check was probably on the 28th, the 31st, or the 2nd. Either way, that's December 2012 pay, not January 2013 pay.

Straw would have you believe that he and his fellow Obama-voting buddies saw this coming and gleefully voted for a tax hike (or "expiration of the discount", as he calls it).

But the withholding tax isn't the only one that hits the middle class.

Tack on ObamaCare and the cost of good and services that will be passed onto the consumer; and, there you have it. But, that's liberal fare for you. The way you get them to vote for tax hikes on themselves is to call them anything and everything BUT tax hikes (except when they're on those EEEEEEEVVVVIIIIILLLLL rich people).

LOL no doubt...

so we are paying more for payroll taxes now than we have for the last 10 years but there hasnt been an increase in the tax rates.

Were paying a higher % now than a week ago but the tax rate has stayed the same, right straw?

answer the question

are we paying a higher % for payroll taxes than last week?

if I give you a temporary price cut and then it expires did I RAISE prices

again, if you want to piss and moan and pretend or even actually believe Obama raised your taxes then go right ahead

I think I've made it clear I don't agree with you

yes, lol you RAISED the price back to its original level.

an increase in price is still an increase in price no matter how it happens. FACT IS WE ARE PAYING A HIGHER % THAN LAST WEEK...THE % WE ARE PAYING HAS INCREASED SINCE LAST WEEK!!!

you CANNOT DISAGREE WITH THAT LMFAO

ok so obama didnt make the payroll tax cut permenant like he did the others, why?

obama let the payroll tax cut expire...

Many people who have seen their first paychecks of the year are saying that the money is less.

Straw is right, it's higher now because of the experation of a temporary break which means it's not actually higher.  It's back to what it was.

I understand that.

However, if you are fighting to make tax breaks on the middle class permanent, why not fight for the payroll tax reduction as well?

Yes. It is the same as the day Obama took office.

It's still more than it was last week.

The semantical arguments are funny.

The fact is that the payroll tax holiday was a horrible, misguided and dumb idea.

Now it goes from 4.2% back to 6.2% doesn't take away the fact that the employee payroll tax rate went up. It's also a very, very regressive tax so this doesn't help anyone.

In the end, taxes went up for everyone, taxes will continue to rise for everyone as government continues to grow and suck up resources. The next Debt Ceiling Farce will give us a clearer picture of just how much the government wants to rape us. As I said before, this was only the beginning....taxes are going up, deductions will start to be closed and when that doesn't do the trick they will begin to come for anything that has a store of wealth.

This is what was voted for.

Why not this too since all of these people make less than 250k a year and now will be taking home less $$$$$ as other taxes and ObamaCare kick in?


Obama knows that he has a base who never question him and never imagined or were informed that their paychecks would shrink.   He knew if he was honest about it - he would not get away w his lies and deceptions.

Neither had/has an actual solution. The disaster we are currently in the throes of is evidence of that. I mean, who thinks it's a great idea to cut someones taxes 2% and then raise them back up at the end of some arbitrary time period? This is all window dressing. It makes little sense.

The deal he pushed for is a scam and does nothing at all but keep the welfare thugs going, hollywood rich, nascar getting breaks, etc, w a token increase on a few high income people - while doing not a fucking thing for the average guy.

If you get rid of these, you don't just cancel them.  You have to phase them out over a long period of time and you better have a good direction to send people in as well as having the fucking balls to put checks on related companies in the process.  It wouldn't be easy.

 H.R. 3765 The “Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011”

And apparently, most Obama voters know nothing, as usual. You really think they actually know the name and number title of this particular bill?

Do you really think, if the Obama-worshipping media had actually put out that this "expiration of a discount" were coming, they would have gleefully voted for Obama without asking that this "discount" be made permanent?

No matter how you try and spin it, Straw, Obama and his minions lied through their teeth by painting the picture that ONLY those EEEEEEEVVVVVVIIIIIILLLLL rich people would have their taxes go up.

You think the "rich" are saying, "Well, it's really not a tax hike; it's just an 'expiration of a discount', because the tax rate is back to what it was in the late 90s/early 2000s?"

So much for intellectual honesty, on your end.

Whatever the "cause", it's less money in everyone's pocket from this year compared to last year... That's just the plain and simple fact of it.

EXACTLY!! And, you knew Obama isn't about just taxing the "millionaires and billionaires", because he rejected Boehner's Plan B (which was really Pelosi's plan, warmed over, hiking rates on those making at least $1 million), "as if those making $900,000 can't afford to pay a little bit more"

Obama and his liberal goons want this floating term of "fair share" and "rich", so they can bleed whomever they like, when Washington doesn't get enough money. When he doesn't get enough from millionaires and billionaires, he lowers the income bar.

And that bar will be (and has been) lowered to hit the middle class, especially once Obama's rich benefactors and supporters have carved their emergency exits out of this crap.

As I said weeks ago: It always starts with the rich; but, it never ends with the rich.

But, I do have one correction to make: There was ONE Obama-worshipping minion, who actually told the truth about the left's intentions: Howard Dean.

He flat-out stated that taxes had to go up on EVERYBODY, in order to solve our fiscal problems (which won't work, of course).

Had Obama run on his true intentions, he would have lost to Romney, despite the less-than-stellar (which is being gracious) campaign run by the former Mass. governor.

Wait... let me make sure I understand what you are saying.

You're saying that letting the Bush Tax cuts expire is "raising taxes on the wealthy", but letting the temporary payroll cut expire is NOT raising taxes on the middle class as well?

Good point.

since both were a temporary discount designed to expire you could say no ones taxes are going up and since the Bush tax cuts expired youncan also say that Obama (and dems and repubs) gave a new tax cut to everyone below 400k

I didn't say anything...

You said that the expirations were a "promise to raise taxes on the wealthy".

So you are changing your stance as to what the expirations were, correct?

Just making sure I understand and we are on the same page.

I personally believe you were correct in your first statement... expirations are causing people to lose "NET" funds. Ergo, they are a tax increase.

I believe that for both groups.

Obama did not keep that promise.
the temporary discount known as the bush tax cuts expired and the Obama and Dems and Repubs gave people making under 400k a new permanent tax cut

Obama did not raise taxes on anyone

In case you forgot, genius, we conservatives KNEW Obama's tax hikes would not be limited to the rich. That's why we voted for Romney, warts and all.

We are hardly surprised that this is taking place, perhaps surprised that the fiscal sodomizing of the American people is well underway barely a week into 2013.

And back in reality Obama never promised any free phones or condoms but he did promise to raise taxes on the wealthy.   I guess thats why he got re-elected

He promised that, WITHOUT raising taxes on the middle class. He raised taxes on the middle class, despite your pitiful euphemisms, in a pathetic attempt to disguise the obvious. Hence, he is a liar and you and your Obama-voting buddies are card-carrying suckers.

The headline will do just fine


Deal Struck on Tax Package
Grand Bargain Includes One-Year Drop in Wage Levy, Estate Tax of 35%


Since the payroll tax cut was only supposed to last for a year the Dems and Obama had to push for an extension

what makes the abundantly stupid poster think that the majority of people did not know the temporary payroll tax was set to expired.   Heck they even saw it about to expire at the end of 2011 and saw it extended for 2 month in 2012 and then again for the rest of 2012

How could ANYONE not know about it

Why do you assume the vast majority of Obama voter didn't know about it

No such proof has been offered

All I see is  1 tweet on page 1 and that person could just be really stupid and uninformed like some of the posters on this thread and they may not even be real Obama voters

where you do come up with the unsubstantiated claims and then just expect people to take them at face value?

This is hardly the lone story on this issue; and, as Tony indicated, a number of folks have yet to receive their first 2013 check.

Yet, you keep running your mouth, acting as if I, 333386, Tony or others who voted for Romney/against Obama didn't know this was coming. We did, which is why we voted the way we did (for those who voted).

We are referring to those who bought Obama's BS about merely hiking taxes on the rich, only to find themselves lighter in the wallet, as a result.

Even in this economy, clues are cheap. Try getting one.

We've said for months that taxes would go up, if Obama got re-elected. I made a thread to that effect. And those taxes are UP. All Obama is doing is the same thing YOU'RE doing: Using flowery euphemisms and other BS to deflect from the obvious.
 
Such as:"You know my top priority has been preventing a tax hike that could have hit 98% of all Americans in 2013. Because the last thing middle-class families can afford right now would be to pay upwards of $2,000 more in taxes this year. - President Obama, Jan. 2

Instead, middle-class families will be paying around $1500 more per year....YAAAAAAY!!!!!!  ::)

Obama's campaign screamed at near full lung capacity that taxes would only go up on the rich. We knew that was bogus and this (not to mention ObamaCare) shows we were right. And unfortunately, Obama's not done yet.


Also, if you three less then brilliant people knew then why do you think an abundance of Obama voters didn't know (again - you've offered zero proof and just made the claim)

Because the less-THAN-brilliant Obama voters think he's going to stick it to the rich without them being hit.

333386 has already done that. Why are these folks on Twitter (hardly exhaustive) yelping again? And it's not limited to them.

As more people get their reduced checks, the cries will grow louder. And you will continue to make stupid excuses, claiming they knew it was coming.

And this "VERY PUBLIC FACT" was overshadowed by Obama's lying about only the rich having their taxes increased. When did Obama state in his campaign that the payroll tax was going bye-bye again?

As more people get their reduced checks, the cries will grow louder. And you will continue to make stupid excuses, claiming they knew it was coming.

And this "VERY PUBLIC FACT" was overshadowed by Obama's lying about only the rich having their taxes increased. When did Obama state in his campaign that the payroll tax was going bye-bye again?


No, he has not

I've already pointed this out

I'm beginning to understand why you were unaware the payroll tax cut was temporary

This is called the power of deduction... See... It's very simple.... People with jobs have to pay more...

Middle class and poor working people do not want to give more of their money.. They don't have a lot.

Wealthy people can handle an extra 2 percent....

Jobless people are not paying anything extra.

See... by logic and reason, it's easy to see that my statement is accurate.

I do not need "poll the country" to deduce correct information.

Did you poll the country to determine that people KNEW their taxes rates would increase?

I see...

You only expect better when my opinion agrees with yours... In this instance it does not so you "expect better".

I would expect better from you than to side skirt an issue or to use "technicalities" to appear right.

Either you are paying more this year or you are not... That's really what it comes down to.

2.  were very publicly opposed by Repubs and they also opposed extending them.
3.  eventually only agreed to extend them for 2 months
4.  finally agreed to extend them through 2012

Indeed, it is just spin. Unable to admit that Obama lied through his teeth about taxes and the middle class (among other things: halving the deficit, immigration reform in year one of term one, etc), Straw is clucking this preposterous notion that the lion's share of Obama voters KNEW their taxes would go up, along with those of the EEEEVVVVVIIIILLLL rich people but happily voted for it anyway.

If they were informed enough to know about the payroll tax cut then they would de facto have to been informed enough to know it was only supposed to last 12 months since that was how it was talked about at the time.

I'm sure if someone during the debates had actually said, no matter what, your taxes will go up, even on the middle class, that people would have taken notice.

If you insist on saying otherwise, then you are just being disingenuous and there is nothing else to discuss.

I think I've clearly won

I've shown that taxes are no higher than when Obama made his statement in 2008

I've provided abundant proof that the temporary nature of the payroll tax cut was widely known and commented on in the media

I've pointed out that there is no proof that Obama voters were unaware of the temporary nature of the payroll tax cut (in spite of 333's single solitary tweet by a person who we don't even know if they voted for Obama)

I've pointed out that Obama never ran for re-election on the promise of extending the payroll tax

The only thing your side has is that the temporary tax cuts expired

That's it

Why weren't you guys bitching about a tax increase the day Obama signed the first 12 month temporary reduction.   I don't recall anyone on the right screaming that Obama just signed a tax increase.    I wonder why not?

WRONG!!

Obamacare's tax hike: The Obamacare law made one change to this tax provision: it raised the "haircut" from 7.5 percent of AGI to 10 percent of AGI. Since virtually all taxpayers claiming this income tax deduction make less than $200,000 per year, the income tax hike falls almost exclusively on the middle class:

-Virtually every family taking this deduction made less than $200,000 in 2009. Over 90 percent earned less than $100,000.

-The average taxpayer claiming this deduction earns just over $53,000 annually.

-ATR estimates that the average income tax increase for the average family claiming this tax benefit will be $200 - $400 per year.

-This income tax increase is focused on families with the largest medical bills that weren't covered by insurance. So the target population is low- and middle-income families with debilitating medical costs. That's a good definition of the opposite of “affordable” or “caring.”

According to the Joint Tax Committee, this tax increase is scheduled to raise between $2 billion and $3 billion annually. That may be a drop in the bucket in Washington DC, but try telling that to the $53,000 family with high medical bills that just saw a tax increase.  

The tax is a clear violation of President Obama's "firm pledge" in 2008 to not enact "any form of tax increase" on these families.

President Obama and his Democrat congressional allies have some explaining to do.

Hahaha, ah man. I read to page four, then skipped to this page, and the arguments are the same. Almost word for word. And the "you're wrong", "no I'm not" arguments are still rolling. Fact is, I'm a business owner and had my guys in on Wednesday after I approved payroll for this week and we all take a hit. Call it an increase, call it and expiration. Facts are facts, and the take home amount is less. For me, it doesn't really matter, because my wife and I make almost $25k(gross) a month, and my fixed bills are less than $5,500. But, for the people making less money, it can get tough taking home a few less bucks. I don't have a problem with a higher tax for me for a few years, if it were going to be used to get us out of the hole, while the government tightens its purse strings as well. But that won't happen. I did not vote for Obama, and do not agree with his politics, but we're strapped into the roller coaster and are all along for the ride, so I wish him, and us well. Only time will tell, but I can assure you I'm saving my pennies for a rainy day, and a quick exit from America if need be.

And, that's what the bottom line is: LESS TAKE-HOME PAY for the middle class, courtesy of the blatantly lying president who said the middle class would not be affected by ANY tax hikes.

Yet, Straw is making this boneheaded claim that the bulk of the middle class knew this was coming and voted for it anyway, just to sock it to the rich (who have far better means of ducking these tax hikes, including the rich who support Obama).

At least, Howard Dean had the balls to be straight up about it and say that taxes would have to go up on the middle class. Obama lied through his teeth, waited until he was politically safe, proceeded with the fiscal sodomy of America, especially the middle class.

No... The actual fact that peoples taxes did go up... ANY taxes... ANY ANY ANY.

You actually ARE insane... Notice how not even one of the other Obama fans are touching this?

They can not possibly back you on this one... You are simply ridiculous.

The payroll tax went from 4.2% to 6.2%.

But in some peoples strange world taxes didn't go up.

Interesting.

I love the geniuses on this board who are so desperate to find something to piss and moan about that they have to pretend that Obama (and don't forget Dems and Repubs) raised their taxes

I've said this many times now

A discount expired

that's all that happened

Taxes are the same now as the day Obama made that statement in 2008

Taxes have not gone up though I understand the people on this board will continue to cry about it

You're getting hammered pretty bad here brah. You're arguing semantics, and you're not arguing it very well at that. It was promised that taxes wouldn't go up for the middle class even one dime... they could have fought to extend the discount you're attempting to argue about - but they didn't, effectively raising taxes on the people that were promised they wouldn't pay any more.

The end result, regardless of whichever bullshit you choose to call it, is that people are paying more in taxes now than they were a couple days ago, and it was completely avoidable.

they are trying to portray the expiration of a discount as a tax increase

how about this

if you salary is temporarily reduced and then reinstated did you get a raise

Effectively, yes. If you're pay is docked you're making less than you were, and then when it goes back up, you're effectively making more.

damn, I wish I had employees who were that stupid

I'll explain to everyone that they are going to get a raise in June but first I'm going to cut their pay by 25% from Feb thru May and then I'm going to reinstate their original salary in June and that will be their raise

do you honestly think anyone would consider that to be a raise ?

You're now going off into something completely inconsequential in a vain attempt to validate your bullshit argument.

If your employees get demoted and their pay drops... their salaries decrease. If they later are promoted back, their salary increases. That is and EFFECTIVE raise, is it not? They were making less, they are now making more. You created a bullshit scenario to try and make some sense of your argument, but it's all smoke and mirrors.. and at the end, it's still bullshit.

I never said anything about a demotion

times are tough and I need to save money so I need to cut their salaries (basically the same argument as saying times are tough so I'm going to give you a temporary tax decrease)

Which has zero to do with anything, again. If their pay goes down for whatever reason, its a decrease. If it goes up, it's an increase. There is no fucking way you actually can believe the shit you're spewing.

Posted on January 6, 2013, 7:23:49 PM EST by Reagan is King

Sometimes, watching a Democrat learn something is wonderful, like seeing the family dog finally sit and stay at your command.

With President Obama back in office and his life-saving “fiscal cliff” bill jammed through Congress, the new year has brought a surprising turn of events for his sycophantic supporters.

“What happened that my Social Security withholding’s in my paycheck just went up?” a poster wrote on the liberal site DemocraticUnderground.co m. “My paycheck just went down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?”

Shocker. Democrats who supported the president’s re-election just had NO idea that his steadfast pledge to raise taxes meant that he was really going to raise taxes. They thought he planned to just hit those filthy “1 percenters,” you know, the ones who earned fortunes through their inventiveness and hard work. They thought the free ride would continue forever.

That's true. For those who get paid twice a month, their last check was probably on the 28th, the 31st, or the 2nd. Either way, that's December 2012 pay, not January 2013 pay.

That article just echoed what I said earlier:

A whole new wave of Obama supporters still don’t even know: They’ll get their first 2013 paychecks on the 15th of the month. So when you’re shooting the breeze in the lunchroom with your grumbling co-workers on the 16th, just ask them, “Who’d you vote for in November?” When they say Mr. Obama, just tell them: “Well, you got what you voted for. You did know he was going to raise taxes, right?”

The looks on their faces will be priceless.

It was hilarious to see some of the people that attend the church I go to have that empty look in their eyes. No matter how much I warned them during bible study, some of them were too ignorant and voted for the failure sitting in the white house.

When I stood in front of them last Friday I said, "Well, you people didn't actually believe Obama when he said he wasn't going to raise taxes on the so called middle class. Did you? Wait until the government needs more money in the future to keep afloat that trainwreck called obamacare. Word to the wise. The government never gives anything for free. Someone has to pay for it. And guess who is going to pay?"

if he didn't know then he's just a moron ( no shortage of them in either party)

What I don't understand it why the Repubs and the rest of the media didn't blame Obama for RAISING taxes the day he signed the 12 month TEMPORARY REDUCTION of the payroll tax

Maybe because at that time it hadn't occurred to them to pretend to be upset about this

That's my assumption

Obama (and Dems and Repubs) sign a temporary payroll tax cut (initially only supposed to last 12 months but instead last 24 months) and all brain dead Repubs can do is pretend it's a tax increase because payroll tax rates went back to the exact same level they were the day Obama took office

I wonder why no reporter from Fox News has had the balls to ask Obama why he was raising taxes in this regard in any press conference in the last two years

Could it be because his fellow reporters would laugh him out of the room and he would look like a complete fool on national TV

now if I were 333 I'd piss and moan about the "new rules" but I don't give a shit

I don't understand why no sharp reporter has jumped on this in the last two years and asked Obama why he was violating his 2008 campaign statement, when he (and Dems and Repubs) temporarily lowered the payroll tax.

You'd think someone would have asked him this by now

It's so obvious

I don't understand why no sharp reporter has jumped on this in the last two years and asked Obama why he was violating his 2008 campaign statement, when he (and Dems and Repubs) temporarily lowered the payroll tax.

You'd think someone would have asked him this by now

I love the geniuses on this board who are so desperate to find something to piss and moan about that they have to pretend that Obama (and don't forget Dems and Repubs) raised their taxes

I've said this many times now

A discount expired

that's all that happened

Taxes are the same now as the day Obama made that statement in 2008

Taxes have not gone up though I understand the people on this board will continue to cry about it





Because you continue to lie about it.  The 3.8% on investment income is an increase.  Not one that everybody will pay, but an increase nonetheless.

I've made my point of view VERY CLEAR

you choose to interpret Obama's quote in a particular way (one which I consider to be completely stupid) and I choose to interpret it in another way

you consider "increase" to mean if the rate is temporarily lowered and then brought back to the place it started as an "increase"

I consider an increase to be an actual increase from the original starting point i.e. a true net increase and not an expiration of a discount

Most people would completely understand this which is why no reporter in his right mind would get on national TV and make a fool of himself by asking Obama about your chosen perspective on the words "increase"

Yes.  The 3.8% is a new tax.  Now, it's very targeted and not everyone is going to pay. 

But a new tax is an INCREASE regardless.

Reporter - Mr. President, by signing this one year temporary reduction in the payroll tax aren't you violating your 2008 campaign statement to that there would be no tax increase on those making 250k or less. Isn't it true that in twelve months the 2% discount will go away and taxes will "increase" back to where they were before the discount.    Aren't you literally signing a bill to increase taxes

Obama - You aren't actually seriously asking me that idiotic question.... are you?

Hilarious: Obama Voters Furious About Tax Hikes
 Kyle Becker January 7, 2013 8:34 pm








Democrat voters received a dose of economic reality after their New Year’s hangovers wore off, when they looked down at their 2013 paystubs and saw not Obama bucks, but higher federal taxes.

How misplaced was their trust in re-electing defender of the middle class tax-raiser President Obama? Workers making $30,000 will take a bigger hit on their pay than those earning $500,000 under the fiscal cliff deal. And Democrats are seeking $1 trillion more in tax “revenue” by the end of this year.

Now, it’s not nice to laugh at other people’s shock and surprise, but this is about as delicious as it gets. Voters seem to think that the president can hand out massive freebies like bailouts, stimulus, cash for clunkers, green energy subsidies and Obamacare, while somehow winding up personally protected by President Nice Guy from massive tax hikes and rising inflation.



Even if you’re not one of the evil rich, you’ll still pay — whether in your paychecks or at the gas pump and supermarket. Well, unless you’re one of those few welfare recipients taking out cash at strip clubs, liquor stores and X-rated shops.

As the national debt clock overheats from spinning so fast, voters don’t need to see those flipping numbers represent more debt. That’s way too abstract. What they need to see in those numbers is the national taxes/inflation clock, which is much more accurate. And that clock only shows about $16 trillion of the future unfunded debts of about $86 trillion.

[Click here to read "Steyn: Congress Spent 2 Months Arguing for 10 Hours Worth of Spending Cuts."]

Some Tweets from the website Twitchy show some awesomely outraged Obama voters who were duped by their Supreme Leader (we’ll leave the NC-17 ones for Twitchy). Below pretty much sums them all up:
