Mr. Becker again publishes another one of his false emails.

Check FactCheck.org:

"And it’s also untrue — as claimed in a graphic widely circulated by email and in social media postings — that the debt has increased more under Obama than under all previous 43 presidents combined. In fact, as of Jan. 31, 2012, the rise under Obama had yet to surpass the rise under his predecessor, George W. Bush."

So, another lie from the conservatives. Why do they fall for this stuff?

Add one more to the pile of GOP e mails that are wrong wrong wrong.......

is there anyone at the Dispatch that checks this guy?

There should be a red alert when he sends in something.

He is the audience pr person.

facts?? who needs those pesky facts when you are minnesnowda?
Yes the left will continue to pretend that it's Bush's fault and not their's and their evil Obama-Man.

In one of your recent e-mails you stated something about Chip Cravaack having a girlfriend. In fact, you even said it was "rumored." Are you sure you want to disparage Mr. Becker's use of "facts?"

I'll agree that Art Becker may be fact challenged if you agree that snowda is a small-town gossip.

The real question isn't how much debt has Obama added, it's what do you want to cut from the budget? The GOP doesn't want to cut defense spending, which is about 20 percent of the budget Obama inherited. The other big items are social security and medicare, which both Obama and Bush inherited. Raise you hand if you're willing to accept huge cuts to SS and medicare so billionaires can get even bigger tax cuts while the rest of us see our taxes go up. How about veteran's benefits...want to cut them? How about pensions for federal workers? Farm subsidies? Highways? Unemployment benefits for people who are out of work through no fault of their own? What would you cut? Let's replace the partisan rage with a thoughtful discussion.

If you want to make the tax code fairer, get rid of corporate taxes and tax dividends that are passed through at regular income tax rates. Next, get rid of all the deductions and credits. Then we'll have a progressive tax structure and the rich will always pay a higher percentage of their income than the poor.

And Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are going to break us. None of the money taken from us for the last 60+ years was held in trust, it was all spent (or invested, as the lefties like to say). Now we have massive obligations and nothing to draw from but current payroll deductions. We cannot do it and the sooner we acknowledge that sad fact, the sooner we can start backing away from the fiscal cliff for which we're heading

Bush and the GOP had control of the government. So where is the tax reform? Where are the budget cuts, especially to entitlements, pork legislation and defense? Where are the improvements to making social security and Medicare better and more stable? Where are the health care improvements?
Where is the outstanding economy they brought us?
And they didn't have the enormous blocking in Congress with filibusters and tea pot folks.
Public jobs increased; private sector jobs decreased.

Just saying, we've been there, and it didn't work out so well.

For the last two years, restriction is the pattern we see from the GOP. Spending for them to meet in all states and Washington to restrict women's rights and to de-restrict corporations.

The GOP wasn't worried about the fiscal cliff when they were in charge.

There is a difference.

Thanks for repeating it for me by the way, in case anyone missed it. I got it from a good source but I cannot document it.

Growing up, I don't ever recall Ronald Reagan complaining, whining and crying about the mess Jimmy Carter left him.
Yet in today's society no one ever takes responsiblity for their actions - its always someone elses fault.

Great role model BO.

BTW - the Democrats are going on 3 plus years and haven't passed a budget yet.

Another great role model in "Dirty Harry" Reid.

Democrats are a joke...
