I Have A Question For Republicans

[Campbell]

When Bill Clinton left a balanced budget with surpluses in line to completely eliminate the national debt by 2012, why did George W. Bush slash tax rates for the rich and double the debt from $5.7 trillion to nearly $12 trillion?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Clinton never left a surplus....end of thread.

there was no surplus, the balanced budget was set up by Newt and bubba reluctantly agreed. then 9/11 happened. the debt was 10.6 T when obozo took over, it will be over 21 T when he leaves, he will have added more debt than all previous presidents combined. If you want to talk about debt creation, lets talk about Obama's debt.

Once again, TARP charge to GWB final year but paid back to BHO years with interest. Why do I bother? It will take civil war to stop these criminals and loons. Load up B4 debt bomb blows up.

Thank you. Facts and figures clearly printed. We will ignore the rumored SSI gimmicks to keep it simple for now. Bottom line, they take our money, live very well off it. Produce nothing. Run over budget every year but continue along like this is OK? They lie to keep it going. Anger is too small of a word.....

The idea was its their money. If there's a surplus return it back to the people.

Knowing that surplus wouldn't last. They shifted the tax burden more onto us. I can just hear their replies. All lies.

Let's undo those tax breaks

Bush said he did

He used it as a justification to slash taxes

There is/was no plan to get rid of the national debt by Progressives, they would lose all control over their lemmings… Dumbass

The economy was on a downturn when clinton was leaving office.

 

[Freewill]

If you remember, Clinton also left a recession. A dot-com collapse and Y2K. What Bush did was stop the recession without a huge effect on the economy. Something that Obama should have taken note.

If bush had what Clinton had and Obama blew it, you know they'd be referring to it as the bush surplus.

And they make excuses for why bush lost the surplus. One being two wars but they forget they lied us into one of them

The Republicans in the House balanced the Budget when clinton didn't even bother to try........

When Bush came into office the economy was in a recession started by bill clinton's tax and spend policies, and then the housing disiaster was created by bill cliinton's policies further wrecking the economy.....the 9/11 happened.......you know....they don't teach that anymore but there was a massive terror attack on the U.S. that killed 3,000 Americans and drove the economy into the crapper............look it up......it actually happened....

9-11 caused a short term recession. Bush's disaster capitalism caused the 2007 great recession.

Bush had 7 years and caused a great recession. Obama had 7 years of straight job creation. 79 months in a row!

We were teetering on recession all 8 years until the great bush recession.

Are these the times you talk about America being great?
