Why does the Left condemn W for his deficits, but not BO (The Great Divider)?
Obama...the $20 TRILLION dollar man...but don't tell leftists. They can't be excepted to accept the truth.
The "truth" is the Right are hypocrites! First of all, Obama did not run up 20 trillion in debt, most of that came from 3 Republicans, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. At the end of Bush II's last fiscal year the debt was 12 trillion, the interest on that 12 trillion is another 3 trillion so at least 15 trillion of the 20 trillion has absolutely nothing to do with any Obama policies. But beyond that 15 trillion you have the continuing costs of Bush's policies like his wars and the continuing medical expenses for the tens of thousands of injured vets until the day they die. So in reality only about 3 to 3.5 trillion of that 20 trillion belongs to Obama.
So now let's look at the hypocrisy of the Right. Carter ran up 300 billion in debt in his 4 years and St Ronnie ran against Carter's "enormous" debt which brought the nation's total debt to nearly 1 trillion. But in 8 years Reagan ran up 10 times the debt of Carter and Bush I ran up triple the debt of Carter, but we were told that suddenly deficits didn't matter and debt is good. Then Clinton gets elected and overnight the debt was the end of the world and the deficit had to be eliminated immediately. But when Bush II was elected we were reminded that "Reagan PROVED that deficits don't matter." And again when Obama was elected just as suddenly the debt would be the end of America as we know it.
So the question is why do you "deficit hawks" ONLY ***** and whine about the deficit when Democrats are president, and why should any honest person take you seriously???????
