Dems Defend Obama On Debt, Say Balancing Budget Now A Bad Idea

After a week of withering attacks on President Obama's fiscal record, top Democrats on Sunday defended the president's plans for shaving down the deficit -- but said balancing the budget now would actually be a bad idea.

Senior campaign adviser David Axelrod, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," repeated claims that Obama's plan would cut the deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade, bringing  the budget shortfall down to a point that would "stabilize" the debt.

"And then, with growth, we'll be in a position to begin reducing it further," he said.

And Chris Wallace asked him several times when would the budget ever be balanced under the bama plan. Axlerod ducked the question over and over because the budget never balances under Obama.

How is adding another 6.5-7.5 trillion in debt over the next decade stabilizing?

Of course it's a bad idea...when you don't have the slightest idea where to start.
