You can't even get your math right when you're trying to correct your prior mistakes. If you can't spell, and you can't add or subtract, what can you do? (hint: You transposed 5.716 to 5.176 and went on a rant due to finding a mistake in your own mistakes). BTW - the mistake that you've still not realized or admitted to if you have realized was this:

Not where you eventually started to pull my numbers and get closer to reality.

Nothing you say has ever proven to have merit, why would this be any different? If you read just a few posts down from where
we did this the last time when you were confusing yearly deficits with total deficits, you've once again left the key questions unanswered as you have no answer for them. Namely - the deficit was pretty much locked in at that $1.186T number for 2009 before Obama took office. Anything and everything that could be done would be already starting from that baseline, whether stimulus, spending cuts, further tax cuts, expiration of earlier cuts, you name it.

As of Dec 27, 2011 Obama is asking to raise the debt limit again to 16.39T because we are at or near the limit of 15.194T.

Time for another government shutdown, where we put our hands up in wonder about having to pay for something we've already agreed to pay for?

You didn't want quotes from reporters, so you were given direct links to two recent Senate proposals. You now call them smokescreens, and are looking for corresponding legislation in the house before calling it real (which it never got to in 2011 this time around, while it did during the last excitement at the end of 2010).
