Obama to blame for running U.S. on borrowed money

President Barack Obama shares responsibility equally with the U.S. House of Representatives on the financial issues facing this country ("The GOP's cynical debt limit ploy," Dec. 10). He has not had a budget passed (or even got one vote in the Senate) and he has not proposed one fix to either Medicare (except taking dollars from Medicare in the Affordable Care Act) or Social Security (except helping bankrupt it sooner by his 2 percent reduction in withholding); both programs will be bankrupt within 20 years, and the time to fix that is now.
