Re: Devout Hillary Supporters
You tell me, what did the Republicans filibuster 69 times?
Two years, four years, eight years is not time enough to change the trajectory of something with momentum or repair long term damage.
All I know is that the Republicans were running around crying, "failed stimulus," like it was some kind of victory for them to prove their disproved (now for the fourth time) economic program.
"You people"? Who would that be? Have you ever taken a civics class? Stop believing what the left tells you and do some research. Isn't it possible that when the Democrats took Congress in November 2006 that they saw an opportunity to regain the WH and implemented a marketing campaign that sold you a bill of goods? Do some research and find out what the economy was doing before the first Democrat budget and legislative initiatives?
The facts simply prove that "you guys" really is the Democrat Controlled Congress and Obama's incompetence
Of course that is what you believe because that is what you want to believe. Unfortunately for you that isn't reality. what you think isn't supported by actual data. Treasury shows what exactly the debt was when Bush's spending authority ran out in March 2009 and there was no budget for 2009 until Obama signed it in March. The debt was 11 trillion dollars of which 450 billion was TARP loans and Bush only had 3 of 12 spending bills for the year approved. The rest were continuing resolutions. So when the 450 billion was paid back in 2009 the actual Bush debt left to Obama was 10.6 trillion and it is 19.2 trillion now. Obama has proposed a 4.1 trillion dollar budget now so is that someone who cares about the deficit?
Obama knew he could convince people like you that Bush was to blame because that is what you want to believe. Republicans didn't screw up as the economic data would show and they lost the Congress because of Iraq in 2006, Check out GDP, unemployment, discouraged workers, debt prior to the Democrats getting the legislative authority and purse strings?
