obama had nothing to do with either
Obama continued both.
let's see...number of troops in iraq under bush
150,000
under obama: zero in december.
that's some continuance.
Actually it will be about 50,000. The quibble about whether they are
"combat" soldiers is ridiculous when most are killed by road side
bombs, not combat.
Actually, we are continuing to follow the agreement to draw down those
stationed there. Of course, that's not good enough, since you don't
care what happens in Iraq now that Bush broke it.
and the tax cuts? oh. you forgot obama wanted to continue them for the
productive middle class and eliminate them for the leeches.
83% of the cost of the Bush tax cut was the people who made less than
$250k. The amount of money that would be recovered if they raised the
taxes of the $250k and up people was doubled by the 14% payroll tax
cut.
The total cost of the Obama tax cut is over a half trillion dollars a
year. That alone is close to half or our deficit.
Cite? Doubt it.
