Depends, how long are you going to blame Obama and ignore the 14.8 trillion dollars Bush spent?
Depends, how long are you going to blame Obama and ignore the 14.8 trillion dollars Bush spent?
When you make dumb statements like that you have no credibility at all, 14.8TRILLION was spent by Bush? When and where? Proof?
When the bust finally arrived with a vengeance in 2007, the political timing couldn't have been worse. Mr. Bush tried to rally with one more fiscal "stimulus," but he repeated his 2001 mistake and agreed to another round of tax rebates. They did little good. The Administration might have prevented the worst of the panic had it sought some sort of TARP-like financing for the banking system months or a year earlier than it did last autumn. But neither the Treasury nor the FDIC seemed to appreciate how big the banking system's problems were. Their financial triage was well meaning but came too late and in a frenzy that invited mistakes.Interesting article, did you read it? Where is the 14.8 trillion spent by the Bush Administration? I suggest you get better educated on actual data by going to the following sites, bea.gov for GDP Growth, bls.gov for unemployment and employment, and U.S. Treasury for budget items, spending including debt service.

I think you probably read the first half. I think he had the opportunity to fix the oncoming recession but instead decided to do what is popular. What is popular you might ask? Cutting taxes because no one, not even liberals, like paying taxes. So yes, in part, Bush is a major contributor to the current economic state. Not to mention the housing scam. I don't want to talk about that though because it disgust me.
Democrats like to claim the 1990s were a golden age while the Bush years have been disastrous. But as the nearby chart shows, Mr. Bush inherited a recession. The dot-com bubble had burst in 2000, and the economy was sinking even before the shock of 9/11, the corporate scandals and Sarbanes-Oxley. Mr. Bush's original tax-cut proposal was designed in part as insurance against such a downturn.

Let me know when you come up with the 14.8 trillion that you claimed?
You ignored him ignoring the damaged economy.

Note to liberals: Even though Bush may have sucked, it's apparent BO sucks more.
Whoa whoa! Don't overload us with your evidence there.
not paying attention to facts....sounds like these 'liberals' took a page from your playbook...just sayin'Since when does evidence ever matter to an Obama supporter? 2.6 million fewer people employed today than when he took office, 25 million plus unemployed/under employed, rising misery index, 4.2 trillion added to the debt, record budgets, failed stimulus, wasted money on green energy jobs. I could go on but what's the use,liberals don't pay any attention to facts.

Yes I have heard the claim by those on the far right who think our forefathers were socialists for instituting and maintaing social security for most of the last century.
Since when is telling the truth "your strong suit?" You still haven't apologized for lying about Reagan "doubling" revenues from FIT which I disproved.
This isn't the Reagan Thread and Yes, I did apologize for saying that increasing Revenue from 345 billion to 565 billions after that 25% three year tax cut wasn't doubling the revenue but then again you haven't explained how that happened nor how 17 million jobs were created? But none of that has anything to do with this thread topic and the numbers that I posted. One of your fellow libs claimed they were going to prove those numbers wrong and never did it, so how about you trying. I have pulled up a chair, have a good pizza and a case of beer, have the wife sitting here, am in for the evening and thus plent of time to wait. You will probably do what liberals always do, run from facts when challenged.

Now conservative:

1) cut
2) paste
3) get debunked
4) spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn
5) make personal insult
I never said it didn't happen because of the tax cuts, I just challenged your elementary math failure. It does have relevance, however, as habitual lying and manipulation of numbers can carry over thread-to-thread.
Speaking of ignoring facts.
Then you should love the opportunity to prove that I am "lying" again. Go for it
