The biggest problem is the Bush tax cuts.

So conservative posters, please explain.

Reagan hammered Carter on the deficit and I remember being surprised that we had this big deficit and was disappointed that Carter hadn't addressed it. It didn't affect my vote because I was so disenchanted with Carter that I voted for a third party candidate but I never would have voted for Reagan anyway. Still, Reagan educated me about this and I remember thinking it was an important issue.
Then Reagan quadrupled the deficit. Huh?
That's why I find Ryan particularly unnerving. His radical approach to tax policy would increase the deficit enormously and he apparently doesn't see the budget being balanced until the 2030s. I'm not going to bet my house on this plan succeeding.
Again, I say, huh? Why are the Republicans the ones who keep adding to the deficit when they tell us they're fixing it? I think they're a pretty scary bunch, especially Ryan.

You may disagree but the economy doesn't
Gee, since you have a graph that you copied from a right wing website I guess you have to be correct. Thank you for enlightening me. I will now dedicate my life to electing Romney.
only an idiot would "dedicate their lives" to any politician. You are an Obama voter and will dedicate your life to Obama.
