<useless drivel snipped>Here is a short civics lesson.
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. For FY 2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office--while sticking nonsense spending bills (last minute or middle of the night earmarks & other goodies into bills.)<more useless drivel snipped>

The silly bastard vetoed nothing, turned down nothing while his party was in control of the Congress.
Now the goofy son of a bitch isn't alone in all this, but he deserves a great deal more scorn for our current situation than a good many others because he campaigned as a tight fisted fiscal conservative, and is as guilty as every potus and congress since Andrew Jackson was president. Which, by the way, was the last balanced budget.

Which begs the question: what expertise may you cite in the recognition of examples of misinformation?? Do you perhaps instruct others in the art of misinformation? Or at least on the proper manner in which to proffer a backhanded compliment?


Inquiring minds, and all that, y'know.

I actually liked this analogy vs. the boob analogy...........although both pretty much tell the story if you are comparing deficit #'s

But see you are making yourself look like an idiot!! You are trying to convince me that TARP, two wars that were never claimed in the bush budget, cost as much as a small pair of titties or a small cat?

Your facts are flawed!! Obama hasn't spent 1/10th of what Bush has spent.. Numbers don't lie, but it appears you do.. Bush's perscription drug plan, his tax cuts, I could go on and on..

His tax cuts alone cost the government something like 2.9 trillion dollars the first year they were enacted.. 2.9 trillion for ONE year!! ONE!! How much you think it cost for every year after that?? And we still have them.. And it is still being added to Bush's contribution to the deficit!! As long as those tax custs are there, it is Bush's contribution.. He should have killed those tax cuts the day after 9/11.. How much do you think that effected our deficit?

That is the problem with you people.. You simply don't know and you are using lame ass pictures to make a false point.. If you want to belive that Bush in 8 years has done nothing to our economy.. Then you are have that right.. You also have the right to be an ingnorant turd for having that belief..

Your simply and amazingly wrong......the Bush Tax Cuts were long overdue, the fact that one, even someone as slow as you would support higher taxes for anyone is incredibly stupid, unless your feeding off the government tit.....the government tit has as much to do with the hole we are in today as any single issue you can distort with your blathering....

Here are 10 simple FACTS ABOUT THE BUSH TAX CUTS, pay close attention, you just might learn something, then again??????

Ten Myths About the Bush Tax Cuts—and the Facts

Myth #1: Tax revenues remain low.
Fact: Tax revenues are above the historical average, even after the tax cuts.

Myth #2: The Bush tax cuts substantially reduced 2006 revenues and expanded the budget deficit.
Fact: Nearly all of the 2006 budget deficit resulted from additional spending above the baseline.

Myth #3: Supply-side economics assumes that all tax cuts immediately pay for themselves.
Fact: It assumes replenishment of some but not necessarily all lost revenues.

Myth #4: Capital gains tax cuts do not pay for themselves.
Fact: Capital gains tax revenues doubled following the 2003 tax cut.

Myth #5: The Bush tax cuts are to blame for the projected long-term budget deficits.
Fact: Projections show that entitlement costs will dwarf the projected large revenue increases.

Myth #6: Raising tax rates is the best way to raise revenue.
Fact: Tax revenues correlate with economic growth, not tax rates.

Myth #7: Reversing the upper-income tax cuts would raise substantial revenues.
Fact: The low-income tax cuts reduced revenues the most.

Myth #8: Tax cuts help the economy by "putting money in people's pockets."
Fact: Pro-growth tax cuts support incentives for productive behavior.

Myth #9: The Bush tax cuts have not helped the economy.
Fact: The economy responded strongly to the 2003 tax cuts.

Myth #10: The Bush tax cuts were tilted toward the rich.
Fact: The rich are now shouldering even more of the income tax burden

Keep it up and we may all be feeding off the government tit.......one more thing, if you want to be taken seriously, try using spell check, otherwise it appears your vocabulary is at a grade school level......especially when you call someone ignorant......just a thought

Because they are too vestedin casting their vote toprevent the other side from winning. It is so funny watching them run around like a dog chasing its taildoing the same thing expecting a different result.

The intelligent people will be voting for the Tea Party. You know the ones that media on both sides make fun of & has very little corporate funding so they will not have to listen to thosecorporate bosses& could actually listen to its constituents when they are in power.

Yeah, just as soon as the nitwits of academia pull their collective heads out of their corpulent posteriors long enough to really see that nothing they're suggesting is new, and that their methods have failed miserably and repeatedly throughout history. Their lack of accountability and arrogance is matched only by that of judges, lawyers, and journalists, most of whom (surrrprise, surrrprise!) receive their indoctrination from those very academics.
