Oh, one other thing the FACTS about the national debt and deficit points to the correct path for the country. Now. What do Republicans have to rant about when it comes to the ever shrinking national debt?

If Democrats would stop being on the defensive and listen to their party leader, namely President Obama, the achievements under this President are astounding. The economy is only the beginning. The extremism of the Republicans in regard to the national debt and deficit have no basis in fact.

Ah. But, they signed that promise about taxes and otherwise. Oops. 

Congressional leaders such as Minority Leader Pelosi and progressive leaders elsewhere such as Senator Bernie Sanders; should be proud of the passage to The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. 

Why?

Because the earliest trends noted in regard to health care is a reduction in costs. For as long as there has been health care insurance the real problem were health care costs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is showing a reduction in health care costs at the introduction of the insurance pools. 

That reduction if it continues, which I don't know why it wouldn't, almost solve and may actually solve the imposition of Medicare on our overall national debt. The law is correct. The enforcement of it is vital. And the nightmare of $17 trillion or more national debt is changing with this law.

We have just gone through the worst recession ever in history. It is only dwarfed by the Great Depression. YET. There is all this forward movement of the economy and the reduction of the national deficit which in turn is reducing the national debt incrementally as the changes in economic growth and reduction of medical costs unfold. Think about that. President Obama has lead this nation from the worst economic disaster of our time. When I realize the scope and breathe of his leadership it is overwhelming.

There are very real reasons the Republicans fear him, depersonalize him, enter unrealistic criticism and make him appear fare less a leader than he actually is. If any Republican stated, President Obama's achievements have been incredible, it would destroy the party.
