When Bush left office our debt was a managable 10 trillion. The republicans had to put up a fight in congress during the month of July, the like of which has not been seen before, at least not in my lifetime, just to negotiate the new proposed debt ceiling increase down in the 10 trillion range. By put up a fight I mean the epic logger heads clash of the titans when Senate Leader Harry Reid and the legion of demonically controlled liberal rabbids under his lead that villanized and called the more sober minded republicans terrorists, while they were trying to slow down the entitlement train down just a little bit.

What is running up the debt are the absence of economic growth, and the presence exponential growth of entitilements, in America. Not only are the range of entitlements growing, including everything from cell phones to housing, to health care and food. But, the actual number of recipients continues to spiral out of control. We already past the point years ago when we could afford to actually pay for these programs, now we BORROW a lot of the money and goods we give away. And it's not just to our citizens, it's illegal aliens and nearly every country around the world, even and sometimes especially to our sworn enemies Iran and North Korea.

It's a fact that recorded history, our history, teaches us that supply side economics really does work, heck, you guy's main man Barrack uses a Reagan quote nearly every day. All you have to do is look back at the balance sheets of the Reagan Era to verify that all this conservative policy bashing is lies. REAGAN ERA TAX CUTS STIMULATED ECONOMIC GROWTH I really worry about the college crowd these days. You guys need to be able to distinguish between fact and somebody blowing smoke up your drawers.

Unemployment taxes. Yes they are taxable, you have to ASK to have taxes withheld, from what I understand. And, if that is ones only income for that tax year Uncle Sam will most assurredly send those deducted funds right back to you. So you can call that taxable, but, the government doesn't think you should have to.

A Mere 10 Trillion with the economy in a full down hill sprint.
