Okay, go back to Reagan, the deficit increased by a huge amount during his presidency. And continued under Bush I. It is called pandering, you buy the election by saying you are cutting taxes, then you let the earmarks flow to keep the constituents happy.
For McCain, he co-sponsored (which means his name was attached) a bill in 2005, when Republicans had full control. They could not get it passed through the Republican Congress.
Both parties have had a hand. But Obama is the one to lead us out of this mess.
And yes, you are right, the people have part of the blame for using their homes as ATM's. The positive thing, a lot of neighborhoods cleaned up. The negative thing, the ghost towns that are popping up. Rows and rows of uninhabited homes.
I disagree that Obama is the one to lead us out of this mess, but I respect your opinion. I just don't see how he thinks we're going to pay for all the programs he wants to implement.
