In other words, let the tax cuts expire for all and cut and run in Afghanistan and our deficit is nearly a surplus, which would help pay down the debt.
You are wrong that the deficit is Obama's. It is all happening right now, but the deficit for FY2010 is 93% from Bush policies (Wars, tax breaks, etc.) Obama's part of the deficit won't even really start taking affect for 2 or so years. You are complaining about Obama for Bush's debt.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.

^^ I cannot understand why Americans are now, FINALLY complaining about the annual deficits that lead to the total national debt.
Where were these people in the 80s? 90? (in the 90s it got better) and in the 2000s?
These people either are ignorant or were asleep the whole time.
Even going back 40+ years, Americans that supported the Vietnam war could not have complained about higher taxes. The US Presidents refused to raise taxes to pay for that war, and successive wars. --> end the gold standard.
Americans can go to foreign countries and start wars and get involved in foreign wars -- but they don't have to pay for it.
How do you pay for it? Run deficits.
You can't have it both ways.
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Obama's not the president?
Sweet!
Let's say I am upside-down on my house and can no longer pay, and you come in and say you'll take it over. I deed the house to you and you assume the mortgage (debt). I say thank you and away I go. Who's debt is that now? Who owns it?
That was just a silly illustration for lolz. But really, Obama's spending makes Bush look like a miser so far.
I'm having fun!
