How does Rush explain Bush Doubling the deficit?

How about Reagan Tripling the deficit?

Monday's figures capped a remarkable deterioration in the United States' budgetary health under Bush's time in office.

He inherited a budget seen as producing endless huge surpluses after four straight years in positive territory. That stretch of surpluses represented a period when the country's finances had been bolstered by a 10-year period of uninterrupted economic growth, the longest expansion in U.S. history.

In his first year in office, helped by projections of continuing surpluses, Bush drove through a 10-year, $1.35 trillion package of tax cuts.

Bush Leaving Next President Record Federal Budget Deficit

-------------------

All you have to do is an Internet search using the phrase, "bush didn't include cost of either war in budget" and you will get plenty to read from both the right and the left on the subject. Bush's budgets didn't seem so bad when he didn't include the cost of two wars. Then there was the $1.35 TRILLION in tax cuts for business and the very rich. When they stop paying, who picks up the slack, after all, wars cost money.

Republicans nearly brought the world economy to a resounding "thud" and they think they have the answer for what ails us? Hey, if 1.35 trillion in tax cute didn't stimulate the economy, why would it now? They say the definition of insanity is doing the same dumb thing over and over again and expecting different results. Republicans are insane. There can't possibly be any other explanation.

How the hell do tax cuts equal spending?

And shit if I can tell WHAT Ed's saying. Is he saying Obama's a liar, or Rush is???

When the country is at war, tax cuts do indeed equal spending. Not just spending, but deficit building spending. How can you not understand that? It's so obvious.

Actually Bush's deficit does include the cost of war -the spending for it came from emergency funding at first but that spending doesn't just disappear from the books. It IS absolutely part of his final deficit total. But Bush's eight years still can't hold a candle to just Obama's first half year in office when it comes to budget deficits, sorry. But let's pretend it is no big deal whatsoever that Obama QUADRUPLED Bush's final budget deficit in just his first six months. Gee, took EIGHT YEARS for Bush's deficit total and just SIX MONTHS for Obama to quadruple that. OF COURSE it means the deficit under Bush MUST have been worse -because hey, he's a REPUBLICAN and Obama isn't! So let's all insist Bush's deficit that was 1/4 the size Obama created in just his first half year in office was the one that was actually so out-of-control instead. ROFL God save us all from the useful idiots of the left.

How did Obama quadruple it? Didn't they just set the debt ceiling to 13 trillion or something. It was near 11 trillion I think before he whose name we will not speak left office.

When are you guys going to realize that Bush or Reagan are NO LONGER POTUS. This President has quadrupled the dept, that's an undeniable fact, two wrongs do not make a right. Bush had 9-11 and a couple of wars to deal with, your guy just wants to shove that monstrocity of a health care bill down out throats. And do not forget it was your guy who stated that he would eliminate earmarks, and he signed an Omnibus bill that had 9,000 earmarks in it, one which Bush refused to sign because of all the earmarks. He just recently signed another budget bill with 5,000 more earmarks in it. Get over it, your guy spends like a drunken sailor on leave after years and years at sea.

But that's different.

 

[uscitizen]

Obama's 1.5 trillion dollar budget quadruples the 10+ trillion dollar defecit.

Kinda sounds different when numbers are included?

There is no functional difference on the budget between increasing spending by a dollar and cutting taxes by a dollar.

 

[LuckyDan]

Bush's worst year had a a deficit of something like 3% of GDP. Obama is crowding 12.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Bush keep the cost of the Iraq war off-budget?
