It says that the President proposes and we dispose. So how can it be that a President is drumming up the debt when we pass bills that pay for programs in this country?
The President references in extremis point of deficits, and he says, 'I brought them down.' He doesn't go on to say, 'But they are still way too high.' That is what leadership is.
