sorry T, you are clearly misremembering bush's deficits. Bush's last budget deficit was 1.4 trillion. and it was only that low because 500 billion wasnt considered part of the budget. The total deficit was 1.9 trillion. The GSE bailout, war spending and most of TARP were not on budget.LMAO! Obama more than doubled Bush on deficits.
The 2009 "tax cuts" were just stimulus checks. The same thing most republicans opposed when Bush did it in 2008.
They did, however, support Obama's decision to extend - and later make permanent - the Bush income tax cuts.
Wow, you are just a font of misinformation. republicans did vote for stimulus under bush. Bush's 2008 stimulus passed the house 385-35. It passed the senate 81-16. The important take away (besides your inablity to remember things correctly) is that only 3 republicans voted for President Obama's now laughably small stimulus, Its what makes them flaming lying hypocrites. I have examples of their flaming lying hypocrisy if you want.
