People used to care about the national debt. Clinton actually achieved a balanced budget,

geez. You are a delusional dimwit, aren't you. Newt balanced the budget. Congress is responsible for passing a budget. Clinton's proposed budged would have added to the deficit and debt. Newt dragged Clinton kicking and screaming to a balanced budged. Stop trying to rewrite history

Obama invoked the Simpson-Bowles agreement toward a balanced budget.

yet somehow the govt doubled the debt during his reign.

Now it's cut taxes, cut taxes, cut taxes, E-X-P-A-N-D-I-N-G the deficit

Socialist democrats are idiots, and give me a headache.

Taxes are paid by people, idiot. Directly or indirectly, they are paid by people. Whether it results in increased cost of goods and services, or simply by not opening a new business or increasing the size of and existing business, or not buying that piece of machinery, or not remodeling, etc. People pay the taxes!

Cutting taxes doesn't spend a damn dime, idiot. If you want to do something about the E-X-P-A-N-D-I-N-G deficit, do something about the E-X-P-A-N-D-I-N-G spending! Do something about the ever expanding alphabet agencies of the federal government with no Constitutional mandate. Do something about the fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer dollars by those left after purging the extra-Constitutional ones. Then do something about the fraud, waste and abuse by citizens, scamming their taxpaying fellow Americans out of their money. Then do something about illegal aliens in this country, drawing government benefits, essentially stealing from the American taxpayer.

Once you've done all that, then talk to me about cutting taxes being the reason for expanding deficits. Until then, idiots should really keep their mouths shut!
