Horse crap. The GOP had the Congress and the presidency for six years, and did absolutely nothing to stop the impending crisis, which all wise minds say coming. The GOP joined with the Dems and Bush to push the big bills.Agreed,,,which he inherited from his fellow Democrats who had / held a near super majority Control of Congress from the last 2 years of the Bush administration through the end of Obama's 2nd year in office.Obama didn't inherit a recession. He inherited the worst fiscal meltdown since the Great Depression...
Over a 6 year period - which included 9/11/01 , the economic aftermath of 9/11, AND 2 wars - President Bush and Republicans only added 2.5 trillion in new debt. AFTER Democrats took over their near Super Majority control of Congress - the last 2 year's of Bush's administration, Liberals added $1.5 trullion in new debt - only $1trillion less in 2 years than Bush added over 6 years.
Obama, upon entry into office, ALMOST spent as much money in 1 shot, through the failed Stimulus bill, as the Democreats added over the last 2 years of the Bush Administration.
In the end, only $4 trilion was added under Bush over 8 (EIGHT) YEARS while BARRY ADDED almost $7btrillion in only 4 tears, more debt than every US President before him combined.
Libs lose their minds when you bring THAT up, though. Go figure...
To blame this on one party is why the mainstream GOP is already turning away from the far right and the alt right. They got to fuck you, did not have to kiss, got the presidency with a man who is pragmatic and not ideologue.
You guys are going to be so unhappy.
