What caused the bailout?
So which is more? 2009 or 2010?
W doing exactly the opposite of being a CONSERVATIVE - spending more than LBJ, socializing senior drugs, giving housing "insurance" to people who couldn't pay....
what he did was exactly Conservative
Socializing senior drugs was "conservative."
Flusing a $ trillion down the public school rathole under No Child was "conservative."
A Fiscal Conservative doesn't spend like a left wing Dem. The problem was SPENDING.
Cutting taxes and spending is what Gingrich did to bring us the prosperity of the 1990s.
W cut taxes but massively increased spending, and got the exact opposite result. Obama is part of W's failed big spending sellout to Israel legacy, because if W governs like Gingrich, Obama never happens...
Yup. Because doing so enriched the drug companies while forcing patients to pay more out of pocket.
that Conservatives have no economic policy that works.
Gingrich didn't cut income taxes. He only cut Capital Gains Taxes and those cuts are what created the dotcom bubble. He tried to pass a tax cut in 1999 t
Idiot - the senior drugs were SOCIALIZED = put on the taxpayer tab
Really?
What was WRONG with the Gingrich budgets??
Gingrich tried to pass a tax cut in 1999, a year after he left Congress....
Exactly...for the benefit of drug companies, who were among the top donors to the Conservatives who passed the bill.
So now you're trying to conflate the budget with the economy when they don't have much to do with one another.
Gingrich wasn't responsible for shit.
So he didn't even pass that tax cut
It can be truly said that precisely nobody CONSERVATIVE actually voted for socializing.... but just about every Dem did.
In other words, taxpayer funded leeches didn't like the tax and spending cut budgets Newt passed through the House, even as they triggered an economic boom and resulted in a budget surplus...
He was OUT OF OFFICE, MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The primaries were rigged.
It was their legal defense....they rigged and they are allowed to.
Florida judge dismisses fraud lawsuit against DNC
“The party has the freedom of association to decide how it’s gonna select its representatives to the convention and to the state party,” said Spiva. “Even to define what constitutes evenhandedness and impartiality really would already drag the court well into a political question and a question of how the party runs its own affairs. The party could have favored a candidate. I’ll put it that way.”

You can't call it a RIGGED election when Sanders lost by 3,775,437 popular votes in the primary. Obama beat Hillary in 2008, he won by a mere 41,622 votes and no one called it rigged.

Sanders like Trump preyed upon the ignorance in this country. Sanders promising students a free college education was about as realistic as Trump promising a 1000 mile 40 foot tall wall that Mexico was going to pay for-- Sanders continually lied about being able to BREAK UP THE BIG BANKS. Even after getting outed on a debate stage, he maintained it as his campaign platform. The Federal Government, nor he has the authority to do that, as the Federal Reserve bank operates separately and independently from one another.
Bernie Sanders Can't Explain How He'd Break up the Banks
Hillary Clinton is right about Sanders. Her only mistake was underestimating how stupid Americans really are in this country.
7 million people in this country voted for 3rd party candidates. I imagine most of them were the "never Trump" group, but we'll never know how many Sanders supporters did the same, or just didn't vote.
One of the dumbest things I saw on Election night--after massive protests broke out all across this country on the announcement that Trump won. Media camera's were everywhere, and they asked one of the participants in the protest crowd. A young college age male if he voted. His reply NO, yet he was out there protesting Trump's win--
If this country learns anything from this, let's hope that they won't be stupid enough to sit at home, or vote for a 3rd party candidate ever again in a National election.
Clinton book says Bernie Sanders inflicted 'lasting damage' on her campaign
Hillary Clinton believes the “attacks” Bernie Sanders leveled at her during the 2016 Democratic primary “caused lasting damage,” made it harder to “unify progressives” and paved the way for Donald Trump’s “Crooked Hillary” refrain during the general election.
Clinton adds “that’s not a smear” — it’s what the independent senator from Vermont himself says. Sanders lost his bid for the Democratic nomination and endorsed Clinton at the Democratic National Convention.
“He didn’t get into the race to make sure a Democrat won the White House,” Clinton continues. “He got in to disrupt the Democratic Party.”
And while Sanders “was right Democrats needed to strengthen [their] focus on working families” and engage younger voters, “he was fundamentally wrong about the Democratic Party,” Clinton argues, ticking off a list of Democrat-led accomplishments including Social Security, Mideast peace, the auto industry bailout and health care reform....
"And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids."

Hillary seems determined to ensure 2 terms of Donald Trump.
Hillary LOST the election. SHE is responsible for her loss.The ONLY person that campaigned on issues (that could be accomplished in this race was Hillary Clinton.)
Trump & Sanders are birds of the same feather. They manipulate the ignorant in this country, just on opposite sides of the bird. They both campaigned on a rigged election, they promised the moon and the stars to their constitutents (not even realistic promises,) they lied continually about policies on what they could and could not change, and now we have a National Disgrace sitting in the Oval Office--enthralled into the worst scandal in American History.
But O increased spending vs a BAILOUT YEAR, W's last one...
So what? What caused the bailout? Conservative deregulation and tax-cutting.
Usually a BAILOUT year is something you can cut from next year's budget. O never cut anything.
First of all, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
2009 Outlays (in billions): $3,517
2010 Outlays (in billions): $3,457
So which is more? 2009 or 2010?
Secondly, Obama's spending grew 2010-2011, but then declined 2011-2012, and then again 2012-2013.
So in 3 of Obama's 8 years, spending levels declined vs. previous year. Whereas with Bush, spending increased every year (as did the deficits).

The DNC was, and probably still is, corrupt and dishonest to its core. They did every crooked thing possible to help Hillary and hurt Bernie.
They chose to run the worst possible candidate: Hillary. She may well be the worst candidate ever to run, for any office. She needs to go away. And to STOP trying to blame other people for HER loss. She wasted tons of money and other resources that could have, and should have, been used to elect a real candidate, a leader. Not a whiner like Clinton.
Few people like her, fewer trust her. She will NEVER win the presidency. So get over it and quit whining.
It's true that trump is sickening and disgusting, but so is Hillary. They're both trash. America got fucked in the last election, by both corrupt parties.
Hillary still believes she is "entitled" to be president. That it is her due.Hillary LOST the election. SHE is responsible for her loss.The ONLY person that campaigned on issues (that could be accomplished in this race was Hillary Clinton.)

Good point. I would think Bernie has far more reason to complain than Hillary. She is bitching about him attacking her, which is what candidates do. Hillary went after Obama with a vengeance back in 2008.
Yet, she blames Bernie for playing by her own rules while not blaming the DNC for ruining Bernie chances. I think they did lasting damage to him by tilting the playing field to favor Hillary.
