talk about saying what you want....you're kind of the king of that aren't you?
Fact is we were doing fine till passed those tax cuts, but yeah electing a Republican was a huge mistake all around you got that right!
You guys are both wrong, what got us into trouble was those GD ARMs and too easy credit. The underwriters and credit agencies greatly over-rated the mortgage backed securities that eventually failed and the the banking industry nearly failed.
The wars were not helpful, but the tax cuts did help boost the economy when we really needed it. Both contributed to the increased debt, but neither is really responsible for the situation we're in now. And BTW, plentry of democrats voted for both; it's kinda lame just to blame the repubs.
