I agree that a splitting vote can be a hot button issue, but it is his vote.
Who made that deficit in the first place? Reagan.
Who lowered it? Clinton (and passed on a massive surplus)
Who cost the US $tn's from stupid tax cuts and wars? Bush.
Economies cannot be turned round by just cutting like the Republicans want. If that happens the economy will shrink, drastically, and the debt will become higher as a % of GDP, which is the yardstick used.
Had Clinton era policies continued, the US would be on solid ground now, but no, as usual the Republicans have to ruin the economy. They've not balanced the budget since Eisenhower, why on earth would anyone believe their ideas will work now?
But please, do tell us how the left have screwed the country.
