Well think about it... we had an extreme leftist congress with an extreme leftist president from 2009 till 2011 who wanted to tax as much as they could and spend everything and more... you add it up.
All these useless government programs, pay off, bail outs, and such garbage are what cause us to have these deficit levels.
I kinda wish they hadn't bailed out any of those companies now. Maybe letting the old companies that were going under, die, they could have let some new companies come in, grow up, and turn a profit that could have done better... oh but we had to bail out GM so they could give their corporate heads massive bonuses and pay off their retirees. Yeah the bail outs worked just about as well as a screen door attached to a submarine to help keep the water out.
Just to point it out, our debt nearly doubled thanks to the government under the Bush administration. Obama is just continuing the same policies and expanding upon them. People need to stop blaming either the right or the left. They are both hands of the same body.
Aside from that, yes we need to cut spending, and yes we need to stop bailing out companies, especially those that caused our current recession/depression in the first place.
