You say it is liberal math. Which it is not. It is simply math, based on CBO numbers.
Blaming Bush for spending Obama added before FY 2009 was over....is liberal math.Todster, you are talking about
#141B to try to stop a disaster brought on by the prior administration. If you had any integrity, you would understand that if Bush were still there, he should have been doing the same thing.
It was a stimulus meant to offset the downturn caused by the bush policies during his presidency.
That is awesome. It's still Obama's, not Bush's spending.See above.
The spending did not occur primarily in 2009, but primarily in later years.
That is awesome. To be honest, you should find out exactly how much was spent in FY 2009.What, you can"t find out. OK, let me continue your education. $141B was spent in Calendar 09. How much of that was during bushs budget, I neither know nor care.
it was part of the 2009 Bush budget.
Yes, TARP was part of Bush's budget.
And it asked for by Bush to stave off a depression created by his own policies.
Not entirely his own policies, but okay.
So, what do you want, to suggest that Bush's successor should pay for his mess??
No way! Obama should not pay for the portion of TARP that Bush spent before he left office.
Like the $250 billion that was spent to buy bank preferred stock. That should not be charged to Obama. But when it's paid back, shouldn't it be credited back to Bush? So, let me understand this. Prior administration creats a quagmire, and you want the new incoming president to pay for it. Again, Todster, how about some integrity.
It would be dishonest to credit $250 billion to Obama for repayments, right?Only if you give a credit in spending to obama for a couple of trillion dollars that the bush recession cost his administration.
And if Obama gave $60 billion to the automakers in 2009 that they'll never repay, should that be charged against Bush? COLOR="green"]It was, and if you cared to do any research, you would see that whoever convinced you that it would never be repaid lied to you. Most has already been repaid, and the auto manufacturers are looking like they will have no problem paying back the rest. But nice try, inserting that little piece of con dogma. [/COLOR] If Obama gave $500 million to Solyndra and they repaid it under President Romney, it shouldn't be charged against Obama.
Then republicans refuse to allow any deficit spending.
Show me any deficit spending that has occured since the first and only stimulus. Requires research, I know. But, what the hell, there is a first for everything.
Wow.
