If we are all in agreement that spending must be cut why are we spending so much more and where is the outrage? As I've documented, the increased budget certainly hasn't been spent on interest and to the contrary, while Obama has raised the budget, he has lowered what is allocated towards interest or paying down the debt.

With his demonstrated track record he surely wouldn't put any new tax money towards the debt unless forced into it by some sort of agreement. He'd come up with more do-nothing projects and giveaways to even more foreign countries. This is not right wing BS but rather the right trying to save the country.
