How can you have a surplus and still increase the debt?
But, this isn't about Bush, this is about Obama planning on running a bigger deficit than any administration in history so that he can follow a policy that FDR proved was a failure - after promising change from the previous administration's deficit spending.
Interest on already borrowed money from years gone by....
And it definitely is about Bush- who spent the most of any President in history- and built the biggest bureacracy and national debt- and caused the situation that requires the spending now...
There was 6 years when the Repubs had full control of D.C- and they threw out "fiscal conservatism" and spent like drunken sailors- while allowing the fatcat investors and bankers to rape and pillage the country...
Thats why even many very conservative economists say we have to spend it now to try and patch the damage and keep the economy from coming to a complete standstill...
Gee how eazy you forget Bush was plunged into a war on terrorist and the money he spent was keeping you safe from more attackes. But hey why should what he spent the money on matter right Oldtimer? :wink:
BULLPUCKEY- the main war on terrorism/Al Quaeda was in Afghanistan- and the war in Iraq was the Bush Oil War-- as Greenspan, Powell, and Clarke and many others have admitted- which according to Congressional hearings was based on false, censored, and purposely altered intelligence info given to Congress and as the result the true war on terrorism (Al Queada and Taliban in Afghanistan) has been set aside- and according to the military experts may not now be winnable.....The reason they are advising the US to change its occupation force tactics....
Remember Bush has doled out Billions of $ to Iraq monthly ( and can't account for Billions $)- rebuilding all of Iraq and handing out Billions $ in appeasement money to every Mullah standing on the corner with his hand out-- while letting the infrastructure (roads, bridges, schools, industry, electric grid, water systems, banking/investment system, etc., etc. ) of the US to fall apart....Currently doling out $10 Billion a month to the Iraqis to sqander- while they put all their oil profits into bank accounts and pay for little or nothing...Not even giving the US military in Iraq a break on fuel/oil prices and requiring the US military to pay $3-4-5 a gallon full price- while the Iraqis pay $.30.... :???:
Tell me what country Bush thought he was President of... :???:
Tell me how well Bush administrated us into the almost $12 Trillion dollar debt we are in- when he started out with a $5.7 Trillion debt...
8 years of Bush- along with 6 years total control by the "fiscal conservatives" more than doubled the National Debt.... :???:
