Republicans and Obama haters will absolutely hate this news. Could be the Washington Times did not like publishing this story ... but to their credit they do say since the "financial collapse at the end of the George W. Bush administration ........
There are many who put politics ahead of what is good for the country IMHO. Remember when a talk show host said he hoped Obama would fail. Well, I am sure he does not like the news in this thread.
Actually Arbo I am not bitter. There are so many anti-Obama threads started it just seems fair for a few threads showing that not all it bad and getting worse should be posted.
When the total national debt is going up every year, borrowing and spending a little less than projected does not a surplus make.
If my bank will loan me $10,000 for a car and I find one for $8,000, I do not have a $2,000 surplus - my total debt to the bank went up by $8,000.
Crabby, are you afraid to even type the name of Rush Limbaugh.
But lets not take the comment out of context.
What Rush wanted was for the POLICIES of Obama to fail - and rightfully so.
TC, You realize that when you present such facts, as you did above, it is going to make it very hard for Crabby to prove his point.
This is a lie!
Limbaugh wanted the country to suffer under Obama so the country would vote the idiot republicans back in that destroyed our economy in the first place.
No, in his initial statement Rush did not just mean politics. He meant exactly what he said regardless of the harm to the nation. He backtracked when he saw the backlash to his statement.
Actually, if Obama's policies were good for the country I would support him.
But as it is:
I want this so-called ObamaCare to fail because it was a joke from the very beginning.
We need health care reform, but it should come from reigning in the costs of insurance and litigation, not socialized medicine.
I want his immigration policies to fail because our borders need to be sealed.
Our jobs need to be protected, and most of all, we need to know who is roaming our streets and neighborhoods.
I want his policy on medical marijuana to fail because marijuana is an illegal recreational drug, not a medical one.
I want his foreign policy to fail because pulling out of Iraq too soon was a political move to please the liberal voters, but it was bad for international peace.
We will be back fighting in Iraq within a few years because the job was not finished.
His top military advisors were against pulling out, but then, they aren't running for reelection.
I want his energy policy to fail.
Green energy is many years away from being practical.
My truck runs on gas, not wind or solar power.
Build the keystone pipeline and ease the restrictions on domestic drilling.
I want his social policies to fail because unborn children do have rights, and we shouldn't reward immorality by changing the definition of marriage.
There is no war on women or the poor, these are just lies made up to sway gullible voters.
Besides, has a poor man ever provided a job with benefits for anyone?
Yeah, I want him to fail, not because of who he is, but because of the direction he is taking this country.
“Because of the large inflows of tax revenues, the federal government usually runs a budget surplus in April — though that did not occur in 2009, 2010 and 2011,” CBO said."
It may be a little too early to celebrate - it's simply a revenue recording timing thing...
