"First off I didn't say deficit, I said debt"
Of course, it's kind of hard to bounce back from over a decade's worth of federal debt accumulation from bad GWB policies like a War in Iraq for no good reason, a Medicare expansion that was never paid for, and the biggest economic downturn in U.S. history since the Great Depression (that was mostly caused by past GOP-sponsored deregulation) in just a few years time, but I wouldn't expect the likes of you to know anything about that.

The fact is that we're well on our way to cutting the federal deficit (that GWB left us all) by around 50% in just a few years time, period.
"Off topic but why does the white house preach higher taxes non stop if they are taking in record revenue?"
Because part of the reason that federal revenues are up in the first place is because of the recent tax hikes, which were almost exclusively on rich people. Again, I don't expect the likes of you to even begin to comprehend that fact.
"I don't see how the 2nd and 3rd article helps your argument"
...because you probably haven't even read them or understand them.
"I also don't buy their 2014 estimate."
Who cares what you "buy"?? You have brought exactly zero facts to the table in this pointless conversation.
"I'll let you know you are wrong on Dec 31st 2014."
No you won't, but again...who cares??
"Didn't see that about SS surplus."
Again, I'm not surprised, but it's just more par for the course from your end. When one brings exactly ZERO verifiable facts to the table, then one can't expect to get any respect from others...run along now...
These issues have already been hashed out long ago in other threads about this very same movie...go read them & quick wasting everyone's time here with your nonsense "electricafroman".
