Thunderballs, if you watched the debate Romney told Obama to his face that Obama's administration has cut new oil drilling on Federal lands in HALF. He had nothing to do with oil & gas production going up. It is all happening on PRIVATE land.
Paul...as unemployment goes down and more people pay taxes instead of taking govt. checks...the federal revenue doesn't go down. Federal revenue was fine during the Bush years...problem was that Bush was busy trying to conquer the world with the military. The whole idea behind the tax cuts was that the govt. was running a surplus...which means it was taking more of our money than it needed. Bush's stupidity was thinking we could fight expensive wars at the same time. That isn't the case now.
If not for invading a couple of countries in the middle east we wouldn't have had a deficit. The numbers for federal revenue by year are easy to Google.
Start doing that instead of asking dumb questions to adult webmasters on GFY:
