Increase defense spending. Increase infrastructure repair. Decrease taxes. Continue sending billions to foreign countries. How?

Where does the money come from? Increasing debt/deficit? Why is it that the Republicans are so penny-wise and pound foolish? They cut budgets left and right and increase budgets left and right and they don't give a rat's ARSE about increasing debt or deficit. Why?

    It has long been proven that decreasing taxes increases overall revenue. 
    Were you concerned about the deficit when Obama raised it from $10 trillion to now nearly $20 trillion.

     
    On January 20, 2009, when he was sworn in, the debt was $10.626 trillion. Today it's $19.78 trillion. That's why most people say Obama added $9 trillion to the debt, more than any other President.
