Bush's economy and keeping two wars off the books didn't help.


This is Obama spending. Bush is long gone. Or the democratic leaches going
into self denial over this?


That's a load of crap. If Obama didn't have to help prevent job
losses, the deficit would be a hell of a lot lower. Did you look at
the stats on job losses? It was on a worse track than any downturn
since the depression.

If Bush had actually kept finances for the wars on the books, our
deficit would have looked a hell of a lot larger before Obama took
office.

It's damned funny now that the wars are sitting on the books that
"conservatives" are bitching about the deficit.

It was Republicans who fostered idea that deficits didn't matter.

Obama is bankrupting the USA. Not only has debt grown, government
prints/creates it for it's operations.


Bush did more to set the country on this course than anything Obama
has instituted.

Should he just put his hands in his pockets and "let the markets
figure it out?"

Bull****.
