"Reduced public debt as a share of GDP" Is not the same as "government spending versus GDP" Believe it or not Krellin, when you search the WRONG thing, you get the WRONG information. I'll admit, my knowledge of American politics isn't the greatest. (Mostly because I don't care.) But those aren't my words. I was quoting the economist Mike Kimel.
So no, not lying. Your ability to read is just lacking.
Also. Characterizing me and saying Obama is good. Lame. First sentence of my argument: I'm by no means claiming that Obama is doing a good job with your economy. Neither did I say the economy is okay. I said it's going to crap, but also that I'm okay with this. I think it needs to go to crap, so you can completely rebuild, because the system you have right now. ISN'T WORKING. Neither side, is doing a good job, nor are they really able to do much. Better to have everything crash down, and people learn from their mistakes and build better. As Holy said, the problem isn't just the government, its the people too, a different government won't change that. It'll hurt a lot but everything has to come crashing down to rebuild.
All I said, is based on the past who says the Republicans would be doing any better.
In response to your question: I pay about $14 000 a year for my education (Canada weeee!), of which I pay for half, and my parents pay the other half. As for all other expenses, alcohol, groceries, etc. I pay for everything. Also, weeee abstinence. I realize you're using hyperbole. But still. You asked. Here is your answer. The only reason I allow my parents to pay for half, is because I wasn't able to get enough hours in the summer to pay for more of it.
