That is the fallacy. You can't increase the debt without spending. You don't have the income you don't spend, What you are saying is that Obama has the smallest increase in gov't spending but it is still an increase when he has a decrease in revenue. Then the Federal Reserve keeps printing money to service the debt ie making our money worth less which in its own right is a hiddin tax on our citizens. It is a direct result of his fiscal policies is that he doesn't have the revenues in the first palce.
Yes, Obama did preside of an increase. No one disputes that claim, merely your incorrect assertion that it was a large increase.
With that small increase, smaller than almost any other president in the last 50 years, he accomplished far better results than were attained by the ridiculous austerity approach you're promoting here, which, at present, is bringing the UK economy to its knees.
And exactly how do you figure that that it's the result of Obama's policies that he has "less revenue"? Did he cause the recession that preceded his presidency, and is, by far, the source of greatest economic pain (in other words, the direct cause of the vast majority of the lost revenue from government over the past few years)? Would you mind explaining how that works?
It sounds like you're just trying to shoe-horn the blame to Obama, at all costs, no matter what contortion of logic is required. Obama is hardly the first president to engage in deficit-spending, and many of the others had very successful policies, economically, he's just presided over
less of an increase than almost any president in modern history.
What would you have him do, unilaterally cut government spending in half? I'd love to see how you'd plan for that to happen, let alone how it would help us in any way, shape or form (again, if you think that works so great, I'm sure the UK would love to have you).

We're well past the point where someone can matter-of-factly claim Obama is not strongly tied to communist beliefs. I'm too lazy to write up my reasons since they've been given time and time again by myriads of people and since maybe no one wants to learn. For anyone wanting to know the degree of communist success in USA with Ob*ma I refer you here:

In all the rambling on your little nutcase conspiracy site, there isn't a single mention of a single communist policy by Obama, as president, not that I could see anyways. It was merely a collection of sad attempts to associate him with communists.
By the logic on this site, I must be hispanic, because I'm friends with many hispanic people.
Let's see if you can do what this site can't: Can you name a single communist policy by the Obama admistration?
