"Jeez. It should be you liberals who worship him based on those points. Raise taxes! Increase spending! Increase the deficit! Kill, or drone kill, evil foreigners! Is this beginning to sound like someone you guys worship currently? LOL"

The Affordable Care Act is not .. http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/06/limbaugh-blasts-biggest-tax-increase-in-the-history-127609.html .. "the largest tax increase in the history of the world," despite what you might have heard on The Rush Limbaugh Show. In fact, it's not even the largest tax increase in the history of The Rush Limbaugh Show. Two years after Rush's national syndication, President George H. W. Bush signed a slightly bigger tax increase in 1990. And Reagan's tax increase from 1982 was bigger than both of them.
If you're looking for something/anything superlative to say about the ACA, you could say it's the biggest tax increase of the entire millennium (!!!) or perhaps that it's the second-biggest tax increase signed by a Democrat since LBJ. As for the biggest tax acts in "history," health care reform barely cracks the top ten ... for the last 60 years.

Viral Facebook post says Barack Obama has lowest spending record of any recent president
This graphic, summarizing an article in MarketWatch.com, caught fire in liberal social media circles almost immediately after the original story was posted. We checked its accuracy.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This item prompted a large volume and feedback and comments. We published an article about the comments on May 25 and an update to this item on May 31. You'll find the update below, at the end of the fact-check.
On May 22, 2012, Rex Nutting, the international commentary editor for the financial website MarketWatch, published a column titled, "Obama spending binge never happened." Nutting’s column explored data on federal spending patterns during recent presidencies, concluding that -- contrary to the tax-and-spend stereotype of Democrats -- President Barack Obama has actually presided over the smallest increases in federal spending of any recent president.
.. top liberals here have done you conservatives like a dinner on debt, and don't say you and lx are the only PuRE two conservatives here .. you could be two of the most close-minded .. evidenced by the fact that you still shriek your dishonest talking points, even though they are not true .. and evidenced by the fact you obviously continue to dismiss the more accurate information you have seen .. three most recent ones ..
i think you are both right. reagan went from 60 billion annually to 400 billion. thus the average can be 267 during this explosion of debt during his term but he left it at 400 b annually due to the massive percentage increase. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=94136146
lastly .. we all know the hopeful who was/is in love with bombing .. no equivalence .. STRIKE 3 .. as for you debate idea .. you have to be kidding was the thought, then you flipped quicker than flipper, which does not go to show either you lx are open to considering evidence in opposition to opinions you hold ..
