Good lord...the debt President Bush ran up could have been temporary???
How?
*Tax cuts? They have been in place for 10+ years and were just made "permanent" for 98-99%% of tax payers...how is that temporary
Tax cuts were temporary, since they just went up, and President Bush has been out of office, who's fault is now?
* Medicare Part D: unfunded...no funding exists today...not a single bill has been put forth to eliminate Part D...how is that temporary...
actually, To no fault of your own, I blame your liberal teachers, if you read what I wrote That Medicare Part D was not going to run up trillions in debt, your blackjesuscare howver is going to continue to grow.
*Afghanistan and IRAQ: also on the credit card... (still racking up bills there)
end the war, end the cost and eventually it can be paid off, now since its still going on, who is to blame for that? you all should have voted for that obama guy that said he was going to end the wars and have all troops home in 6 months.
* Stimulus part 1... (haven't repaid that) Read again, Democratic congress backed by some begging from obama before he took office, along with all the liberals crying how President Bush was going to destroy the country if he didnt sign the Stimulus,, well, I guess you agree with me on this one, GM should have failed. no bailouts, not even for the banks that were forced to write the bad loans under threat from Clinton,
*take over of Fannie and Freddie (still paying for that one)
again, September of 2008. in an attempt to fix/hide what Clinton did (remember the republicans trying to point the oncoming failure to the dems who wouldnt listen as far back as 2002)
*Allowing Lehman to fail...which turned a recession into a credit crunch and damn near into a depression...still paying all the costs associated with preventing a freefall into depression and the agonzingly slow recovery from a credit crisis.
Part of the deal obama and the house democrats begged to have done. However I find it interesting that it was a bad thing not letting GM fail, but it would have been a good thing to let Lehman fail,, I wonder if one or the other failed, what would have the greater impact on the world economy.??? tough one for sure.
*What happened under the Bush Administration to reign in spending on Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security? Nothing...as noted above Medicare was EXPANDED under Mr. Bush.
Medicare and social security are paid for through payroll contributions, however, lets talk about how something like entitlements have gone up since bammy took over.
It is ridiculous...utterly ridiculous when you or anyone state that EVERY decision or non-decision made prior to January 20(?) of 2009 had ABSOLUTLEY NO impact on the deficit. In fact, it is beyond ridiculous...it is moronic
Oh, they had impact, but I find it moronic that your or anyone states that something like a war, with FINITE expesens is going to hurt the country more than an entitlement program like obamacare that is INFINITE.
except for the medicaid part D, all of the Bush F-ups could have been fixed. Taxes could have been fixed, the war expense could have been paid off. even the bailouts could have been paid off.
but, since the first round failed, why did obama go on spending more on what already had proven not to work.
