"Tallying Trump's tab": The liberals suddenly care about excessive spending

[bripat9643]

The debt was 10.6 Trillion when Obama took office. It didn't get there without Republican help.

Actually the GOP National Debt was $11.9 trillion at the end of Bush's last fiscal year. That $11.9 trillion has cost us over $2 trillion in interest since then so therefore the total GOP National Debt is $14+ trillion.

Obama wrote the budget for what you're calling "Bush's last fiscal year." So he owns it.

No banana, charlie.

Nope, Obama's budget began Oct 1 2009.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a US stimulus package enacted by the 111th United States Congress in February 2009 and signed into law on February 17, 2009

That's the day Obama became responsible for the budget. That was his budget.

But very little of the spending took place in 2009, which is why the Right kept saying throughout 2009 that it should be repealed to pay down the GOP National Debt.

The government wouldn’t be able to spend at least one-fourth of a proposed $825 billion economic stimulus plan until after 2010, according to a preliminary report by the Congressional Business Office that suggests it may take longer than expected to boost the economy. The government would spend about $26 billion of the money in 2009 and $110 billion more next year, the report said. About $103 billion would be spent in 2011, while $53 billion would be spent in 2012 and $63 billion between 2013 and 2019.

It doesn't matter. If Obama wanted to cut spending on other programs, he could have done. That bill was effectively his budget for the year.

The thread premise is nonsense.

Just look at the GWB years: A massive deficit created with wasteful spending on two failed, illegal wars, an unwarranted increase in the size of government, and reckless, irresponsible tax cuts.

Just look at the GWB years: A massive deficit created with wasteful spending

Yes, $5 trillion in deficit spending was awful.

Compared to Obama's $7.5 trillion, so far..........

Suggest you learn the difference between Deficit and Debt

Suggest you learn the difference between Deficit and Debt

Obama's deficit spending has added $7.5 Trillion to the debt....so far.

Wrong. You can't blame Obama for the $2 trillion in interest on the $12 trillion GOP National Debt he inherited.

He could have cut spending. He didn't.
He gets blamed for the increase in the debt, even though he's black.

Liar!
He did cut spending with his Obamaquester.
How quickly the Right forgets!

Sure you can. You blame Bush for all the interest on the debt spent during his administration, don't you?

LIAR!
I said the interest on the $12 trillion GOP National Debt Obama inherited, which is about $2 trillion.

The Debt was $10.6 trillion on the day he took office, not $12 trillion.

 

[rightwinger]

After years (decades?) of pushing huge spending increases and "Do it for the children" rhetoric designed to get people to ignore that they are plunging the country into bottomless debt, suddenly the liberals have decided that a spending proposal is too expensive.

That spending proposal is, of course, Donald Trump saying he will make the government obey our immigrations laws. We can't have that!

'Tallying Trump's Tab': NBC Suddenly Cares About Excessive Spending

NBC finally cares about government spending. The network that has been very friendly to Barack Obama (under whom the national debt will reach $19 trillion) worried that Donald Trump's policy goals may cost too much. Today reporter Hallie Jackson on Tuesday fretted, "The candidate known for his big money... turns out to be a big spender when it comes to his presidential proposals."

Jackson lamented Trump's plans as wasteful: "Deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants estimated to cost about $138 billion. Taking back Iraqi oil fields, which would mean U.S. boots on the ground, $13 billion to $22 billion and repealing the Affordable Care Act may cost the government $137 billion in the next decade."

Showcasing NBC's new-found interesting in fiscal austerity, Jackson complained of Trump: "He dodged NBC's Katy Tur's question about where that money to deport undocumented immigrants would come from."

Over ABC's Good Morning America, Tom Llamas did not focus on the cost of the immigration policies. Instead, he yelled questions at Trump (who was in New York City for jury duty) on enforcement: "How would you do it?... What would you tell a child of an undocumented immigrant? What would you tell that child born in the U.S.?"

Let's see?

Spend money helping the American people or building a stupid wall?
I think I will help people

 

[my2¢]

I completely agree with the premise of hypocrisy on part of the Democrats. It's almost as bad as the Republicans I knew who claimed in 2004 that the deficit no longer mattered but were attending a Tea Party rally in 2009.

When did Bush sign those spending bills? Gotta link?
And actually, the bank TARP spending under Bush was repaid under Obama, so Bush's ending
debt is more accurately closer to $10.3 trillion.

Both Parties are out to lunch financially. The GOP has expanded government as often as the Democrats.

Why is it you guys no longer care about it==massive spending?
