The Incredible Shrinking Obama Deficit.

[bripat9643]

Every fiscal year of the Clinton Administration, the deficit shrank.

George Bush increased deficits until finally hitting the highest deficit of any country in the history of the Universe.

Every fiscal year of the Obama Administration, the deficit shrank.



Bush ran the deficit up to damn near 1.5 trillion dollars. I defy anyone to say that any successor could have lowered the deficit down to pre-Bush levels within just a couple years with a straight face.

We're talking serious momentum that is not easy to reverse.

No one is going to waste their time arguing with a drone who insists on his own dishonest presentation of the facts.

oh...and by the way folk.....Obama said he would cut the deficit in half by the end his first term. It took him 7 years to bring the deficit BACK to where it was the year before he took office.

Another broken promise.

But I find it funny how the democrats have you sheeple thinking he met his promise.

Democrats most always shrink the deficit and Republicans mostly grow it.

Take a goddam good look at that last chart I posted. Notice anything?

It doesn't matter what party is in the White House or what party is in Congress, THE LINE KEEPS GOING UP.

Figure it out, retards.

You are an idiot.

I see what you did there. You did that propaganda trick.

"the year before he took office". I already explained the FY2009 budget is Bush's budget.

$1.4 trillion deficit. That's Bush.

Four years later, $680 billion deficit. That's Obama.

Promise kept.

 

[Siete]

To think...Bush was given a budget surplus and left with a $1 trillion deficit

a president does not leave with a deficit.

A deficit is a year to year thing. It does not compound.

Another fucking idiot.

Yowza Yowza Yowza.

Watch it shrink. To Shrinky Dink levels..

Deficit shrinks by $1 trillion in Obama era

Bush's largest deficit is equal to Obama's smallest.

Nope. That FY2009 deficit is all Bush.

A record in the history of the Universe.

Wrong, asshole. Obama threw Bush's budget out the window in February of 2009.

duuuurrrrrrr

Congress writes the budget ... a continuing resolution KEPT the 09 budget in place.

lol

What was the deficit when he said that?

Democrats most always shrink the deficit and Republicans mostly grow it.

just saying it doesn't make it true.

In 2008 we had a half trillion dollar deficit.
In 2009 we had a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit.

Seems to me the deficit was higher when Obama was in office.

 

[g5000]

It is an inescapable fact that the FY deficit has gone down EVERY SINGLE YEAR of Obama's Administration.

You cannot say that about Bush.

It is an inescapable fact the deficit went down EVERY SINGLE YEAR of Clinton's Administration. We also added 30 million jobs during that period.

You cannot say that about Bush. Not even close.

because 08 numbers don't go on the books until 09 ..

Both of those were Bush's deficits.

Why do you keep trying to put that on Obama? Are you sure you were in the military? If you were, then you damn well know the 2009 Fiscal Year budget was written in 2008 and started on October 1, 2008.

Seems to me the deficit was higher when Obama was in office.

Nope. It has gone down every fiscal year of his Administration.

the deficit the year before he took office was a half a trillion.
The deficit now is a half a trillion.

Seems to me he did not cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term as he promised.

To the contrary, every year he was in office from 2009 to 2013 the deficit was greater....sometimes 3 times greater than the deficit was the year he took office.

But for some reason, folks like you seem to believe that he cut the deficit as promised.

don't be an idiot.

The 08 numbers are reported in 09....but they are still the 08 numbers.

What are you.....like 3?

the deficit the year before he took office was a half a trillion.
The deficit now is a half a trillion.

Nope. The deficit for the fiscal year he took office was $1.4 trillion.

Nope.

The 2009 deficit is for FY2009. October 1 to September 30. The budget for the next year is written and signed by September 30 or the government shuts down.

You could not have been in the military if you don't know this. The whole military budget revolves around this shit.

The $1.4 trillion deficit belongs to Bush.

 

[Siete]

the debt is the end result of total deficits... who won ?

lol

moron....the budget does not create the deficit....

It is extra spending by laws written after the budget is passed that creates the deficit.....like the stimulus.....and the ACA.....

Do you not know anything about how budgets are passed....what governs the writing of budgets?

Heck...do you know anything about how the government operates?

Did you not wonder why there had to be a law passed for the stimulus?
