Do you know why Obamas budget has such a huge deficit?

It's the economy stupid. Like more then 5 million out of work. That is just counting those that file unemployment. What about the ones who have fallen off that list? The uncounted. How about profits across the board for corporations and businesses have gone down? How about imports have gone down. How about consumers are cutting back? How about big ticket items have gone down? What about all the foreclosures? All of that means lost tax revenue. Then there is the increase in welfare, food stamps, medical care for those without insurance. Plus, regardless if it was a dem or repug stimulus bill, it would have resulted in a huge bill, no matter what party controlled it. I don't care if you are a free marketer, that is irrelevant now. Nor do I care if you are a Bush or Obama blamer, that is irrelevant too if you honestly think about it and use your common sense. I don't care if it was McCain who got the nod, or Obama, both would have faced a huge deficit, at the very least their first two years. Just how is America going to get back to work? Just how is America going to survive and come out on top? Just how in the hell are we going to keep funding our military and wars? Tell me, what is more important, fixing Iraq and Afghanistan, or fixing our own country? Why is Obama pulling out of one war and transferring that to our new Vietnam, or Soviet Union type retreat? Where can we cut back? What would be prudent? What should we increase? Were does it all stop? Who do we blame it on? Socialism and communism? Those that blame that really have no idea what either means. Free markets? Those that believe that will fix things do not understand human greed and power. Or should the blame be put on the government? How about deregulation? What about greed and the thirst for power? Our wars? Our politicians? The people and our thirst for shopping till we drop and maxing our our credit cards? 5% down on a new home we can't afford but government and credit carpet baggers pushed on us? Suv's and big screen TV's just so we can live in a little more comfort and status? Finally: Where does the money come from? Show me the frigging money! .

1. the majority of the 09 budget was set in 2008. link to budget provided below.
2. Yes we have all heard about the bad economy & the deficit. So why pile more and more and more debt onto it?
3. very few, if any Republicans will admit that Obama inherited a trillion dollar deficit. I guarantee you won't hear from Hannity or Limbaugh.
4. "Do you know why Obamas budget has such a huge deficit?" Yeah, because hes spending too much. "It's the economy stupid." No, its the government spending. "Like more then 5 million out of work. That is just counting those that file unemployment. What about the ones who have fallen off that list? The uncounted." Its the government spending. "How about profits across the board for corporations and businesses have gone down? How about imports have gone down. How about consumers are cutting back? How about big ticket items have gone down? What about all the foreclosures? All of that means lost tax revenue." The government hasnt lost any revenue. But those things will happen thanks to Obama. "Plus, regardless if it was a dem or repug stimulus bill, it would have resulted in a huge bill, no matter what party controlled it. I don't care if you are a free marketer, that is irrelevant now. Nor do I care if you are a Bush or Obama blamer, that is irrelevant too if you honestly think about it and use your common sense." You first.
