WHEN ARE WE GOING TO STOP BLAMING BUSH?

Afghanistan War by the Numbers: Lives Lost, Billions Spent

The war in Afghanistan has cost the United States $443 billion from 2001 through 2011, according to the Congressional Research Office.
According to a Pew Trusts report, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have contributed more to growth in U.S. debt than any other policy since 2001 except the Bush tax cuts and in the increased interest from legislative changes.

The true cost of the Iraq war: $3 trillion and beyond ,

September 5, 2010

Federal debt
There is no question that the Iraq war added substantially to the federal debt. This was the first time in American history that the government cut taxes as it went to war. The result: a war completely funded by borrowing. U.S. debt soared from $6.4 trillion in March 2003 to $10 trillion in 2008 (before the financial crisis); at least a quarter of that increase is directly attributable to the war. And that doesn't include future health care and disability payments for veterans, which will add another half-trillion dollars to the debt.
As a result of two costly wars funded by debt, our fiscal house was in dismal shape even before the financial crisis -- and those fiscal woes compounded the downturn.

Bush-Era Tax Cuts Will Cost U.S. Nearly $1 Trillion Over Next Decade
Keeping tax cuts for the wealthy could cost the U.S. big time.
Letting the Bush-era tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 expire on schedule at the end of 2012 would bring the government nearly $1 trillion in revenue over the next 10 years, according to a new report from the Congressional Budget Office. That’s $823 billion in added revenue and $127 billion in interest to be exact, for a total $950 billion in ten-year deficit reduction.

When hell freezes over and more. Obama is still paying off Bush’s debt and continue into the next decade. Bush's debt did not stop growing when he left office. Most of the $5 trillion added to the debt belong to Bush.
When do we stop blaming the fox for raiding the hen house?

When the disasters he caused, and allowed, no longer impact American lives.
 
Bush left office in 2009.

Obama took over.

What we've heard for 4 years is that Obama can't control things.

And he's showing it again. I am surprised there isn't more blaming of Bush for Libya.

You people are all to keen to give Clinton credit for a bunch of things Reagan started.

Hypocrites.
 
You morons can lame Bush til you become worm food, no one gives. A shit so have at it.

So, Obama's plan to pay off "Bush's" debt is to dog pile even more debt?
 
The Republicans blamed Jimmy Carter (the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act) for the housing meltdown.

So if the GOP can blame something that happened 30 years ago for wrecking the economy, tell me again why Bush has always been kept to curiously blameless.

The GOP has been blaming Carter for decades.

(Decades)

43 was begged to burst the housing bubble before it got big enough to sink the country. He ignored those warnings like he ignored the countless Al Qeada warnings.

Everybody knows this.

It’s not a matter of ‘stop blaming Bush,’ there are facts concerning Bush Era policies that caused serious and lasting harm, as noted in the OP.

It’s therefore a matter of Bush being held responsible.
 
I expect you to be blaming Bush till you guys die. And youll still probably be lying about Bush "stealing" an election he was never losing in.

They love the yella boy because he talked tough, when he was safe of course, and had the 'courage' to send thousands of Americans to die to avenge an insult to his father, a former President. The fact that Bush valued his little baby feelings more than the lives of Americans better than he, and was too dense to understand EVERY US President faces empty threats from two bit dictators, cannot sink in their scant brain cells.

All that matters are the flags, the tough guy stand, and the neat explosions they saw on TV. The dumbing down of America is complete with Bush lovers. His treasonous make out session with his KING, Abdullah, never registers.
 
It' now clear that Peach needs to check into a rehab center.

Bush Lovers ????/
 
Well lets see the Iraq war is over and contrary to what the left likes to think it was not ended by Obama the status of forces agreement was negotiated before the 2008 election ever took place and when the Obama administration and the Iraqi government could not reach a agreement for extending it the Iraqi prime minister then insisted on the negotiated 2008 withdraw date. As for Afghanistan we have been there for the entire Obama Presidency as the CIC he could have ordered the U.S. to begin preparing for withdraw on his first day in office just as he ordered the closing of gitmo which has also been open for his entire Presidency and remains so to this day.

Amen!
 
Yak. Yak. Yak. Obama has spent more money since he's been in office than Bush ever did. We owe 16 trillion dollars now, in great part to Obama. He said he would cut the deficit in half in his first 4 years. What a crock of shit that turned out to be. Time to get off the Blame Bush Train and look at Obama realistically. He's bankrupting this country.
 

When every US soldier that died is alive again, every maimed service member is whole again, every Iraqi civilian killed alive again, and every penny spent is repaid, THEN WE CAN FORGIVE HIM!

WHY CANNOT THE CONs accept Bush sent our troops to die based on LIES he knew were lies, and LAUGHED about afterwords. Had he been a Democrat, he'd have been impeached and HUNG. And he & Cheney should have been.

Bush 41 started the Iraq crazy train when he gave Saddam the "green light" to invade Kuwait:

Is the US State Department still keeping April Glaspie under wraps?
