And DumBama doubled Bush's deficit. What's your point?
You folks aren't very good at math......among other things. The biggest expense Obama had to take care of was the interest on the Reagan/Bushes debt. He stopped two hot wars and didn't start another one......a trick the Republicans need to learn:
When are you ever going to learn something about our government? The President doesn't spend our money--the Congress does, and our Congress has been Republican led.
That's without a doubt the most naïve thing I've ever read here and brudder there have been some doozies. Are you saying that the congress won't let presidents spend money? The congress can't spend a dime that the president doesn't approve.....plus, he has veto power over them.
Correct, he does, which is why they haven't reduced the deficit even more. Since the Republicans took over, the biggest argument has been DumBama wanting to spend more and the Republican Congress wanting to spend less. It has led us to the sequester, the government shutdown, losing our three star credit rating for the first time in US history.
Once Trump takes over, the argument will remain because he also wants to spend more money. Like with Obama, the Republicans won't allow him to spend on things they feel are unnecessary.
LMAO!!!
Can't you read?
