Trump blames Obama for doubling the debt

[theHawk]

Tonight rump blamed Obama for the debt under his administration.

1) Most of that debt was due to the Bush Administration's worst recession in 80 years as the deficit in 2009 was estimated to be over a trillion even before Obama took office.

2) Trump had made no improvements in the deficit since taking office despite taking over in a the midst of the longest streak (broken by Trump) of job gains & low unemployment

3) If you want to see huge deficits again, let Trump pass his tax plan. The Bush tax cut was a major part of that Great Recession

The 2017 deficit is higher than was the 2016 deficit. Can we blame Trump for that??

President Trump's first fiscal year (FY'18) started Oct 1st, 2017. Congress has yet to pass his proposed budget, I think they have been going on continuing resolutions.

No, dumb ass, it was the artificially created housing bubble where the banking oligarchs ended up holding hard assets for paper fiat federal reserve debt notes. Are you REALLY this stupid or is it simply an act?

BTW, why does one that barters his/her labor in one hour increments in exchange for something of value be required to give it to the federal reserve bankers that created this non-intrinsic currency by nothing but a few computer strokes?

Only the right wing believes that. If cutting taxes worked, we would have no debt.

 

[danielpalos]

obie did double the debt. Is this even a question?

How, by bailing out the rich instead of blacks?

 

[danielpalos]

I will be dead before the national debt is reduced.

As a percentage of GDP it is being reduced now. That is all that counts. But thanks for the depression and the stupidest Wars ever and continuing to wreck the middle class...

Almost like you didn't have eight years to fix that. Oh, your policies don't fix that. Damn.

Your Pander to the rich lying cheating party blocked all the usual Solutions, idiot. On the other hand we averted another of your corrupt full-blown depressions and ended your stupidest War... And cut the other War to the Bone... Do you enjoy being a total fool of a****** rich people, Dupe?

"Cutting wars to the bone" is why we have, fourteen year and counting, wars. The right wing doesn't even want, Standing Army tax rates, yet they want to increase defense spending by cutting social services for the poor.

They way Dims measure Bush's debt is by counting any that occured during the time he was in office. Now they want to make excuses for Obama and use a different standard.

We got US debt through wars and cutting taxes for the rich.

Wars on a for-profit basis only help the rich get richer faster, especially when the rich want to cut social services for the poor, to pay for it.

Here is Obama promising in February of 2009, just days after taking office, to cut the deficit in HALF by the end of his first term.

Then, of course, the rich had to be bailed out, simply Because, "they are worth it".

 

[danielpalos]

Obama increased the debt by 68%.

Yea, Obama was a real fiscal conservative, right chump? LMAO!

Like cutting taxes is conservative instead of progressive.

What solutions/ legislation did the leftard clown posse and the Barrypuppet propose that would have helped the middle class or the economy as a whole that was "blocked"? I'll wait..........

Just clueless and Causeless, or merely attention surplus challenged.

Health care reform is what the democrats brought to the table; the republicans have, nothing but repeal, and tax cuts for the rich.

Democrats caused the Great Recession with their mortgage policies and then blamed it on Bush.
Bush's tax cut got us out of the Tech Stock Bubble recession.
Left Wingers are dumb.

By getting us into an expensive war?

 

[danielpalos]

You people are interested Republicans and yet you know nothing factual. Just think of the Republicans who aren't interested and still vote. Unbelievable. Poor America.

Fallacy induced fantasy, is all the right wing usually has.

Reagan increased the debts by 186%, W Bush increased the debt by 101% and Obama increased the debt by 68%.
Trump is attempting to pass Reagan ike tax reform.

O increased the debt by 8 trillion, more than all the presidents combined.

Ask anyone but a GOP propagandist or a dupe and they will tell you it was Bush regulation of the markets, which is to say no regulation at all. You idiots thinking the Democrats who had no control of any part of the government caused it because you are total idiots will believe anything... The Democratic operation Fannie and Freddie lost their 75% share of the market down to 25% in 2003 and the bush crony private mortgage companies like Countrywide took over, sold toxic mortgages to anyone breathing rated them a plus and sold them around the world. You are so stupid read something.

The reason why Clinton lowered the mortgage lending standards is because Democrat Voters are lower class people with bad credit. In 2003 Bush tried to regulate the mortgage lending but the Dirty Democrats blocked the bill and called him a racist. There are books available that explain the Democratic Party's Great Recession. Stop getting your News and History from TV Clowns like Steve Colbert.

Free markets work better when there is no poverty.

Lying libtards don't answer questions.

Maybe you should watch some real news so you would know... So stupid. Let us see, a huge infrastructure bill, and infrastructure Bank bill, a tax cut for the middle class. Just Google bills Obama proposed and the GOP blocked. There are about 500 of them...

Obama cannot propose bills.....that is the job of Congress...........let's see those links, Frankie.

I in
Senate Republicans have filibustered since President Obama took office — just a few:

• Infrastructure bills
  The following headlines are from last week’s “Full Employment Is More Than Possible. It Is Essential.“

• 2011: “Republicans filibuster Obama infrastructure bill”
• 2012: “‘Phantom filibuster’ blocking path forward for highway bill, says Reid“
• 2013: “Bipartisan Transportation and Housing Bill Filibustered“

• Equal Pay for Women

• Minimum wage increase

• Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act

• Bring Jobs Home Act – stop tax breaks for moving jobs and production facilities out of the country

• Teachers and First Responders Back to Work Act of 2011 – rehire 400,000 teachers, firefighters, paramedics and police officers.

• Student loan reform – ease the crushing burden of student loan debt by at least allowing refinancing to lower interest rates

• Extended unemployment benefits – for the long-term unemployed

• Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) — let working people join unions – filibustered in 2007, killed by threat of filibuster 2009

• Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act – let public safety officers join unions

• The Buffett rule – ensure millionaires pay a comparable tax rate to middle-class Americans

• Repeal Big Oil Tax Subsidies Act

What would it have meant for the economy and jobs to launch a post-stimulus effort to maintain and modernize our infrastructure? How about reversing the tax structure that pays companies to move jobs out of the country? H

A Major Infrastructure Bill Clears Congress

The five-year infrastructure bill is the longest reauthorization of federal transportation programs that Congress has approved in more than a decade, ending an era of stopgap bills and half-measures that left the Highway Trust Fund nearly broke and frustrated local governments and business groups. President Obama will sign the bill into law, as it fulfills his long-running push for lawmakers to pass an infrastructure bill even though it is significantly less than the $478 billion he sought in his own plan earlier this year.

LMAO!!!! An admitted progressive website????? Is that the best that you have got???????

Just Google bills by Obama that were blocked by the GOP and pick those are the Bills idiot so stupid

Look, moron......only Congress can propose bills and only the president can sign them or veto them....why are you struggling with this so much?

The president tells his party what to proposed in Congress, dingbat duh.

But here in lies the rib, dipshit.....when the leftard clown posse simply made it up as they went along and crammed barrypuppetcare (laden with pork) down the throat of the American people? There was a paradigm shift in the House and the Taxed Enough Party had enough members to prevent the commie party from running roughshed. If what the Barrypuppet wanted pushed through after 2010 and was so incredibly great? He would have taken his case in front of the American people because it's not like this jug-eared clown wasn't on TV constantly reading from his teleprompter. The fact of the matter is that the Barrypuppet was nothing but as tool of the very banking oligarchs that your kind pretends to be against while doing their bidding. I simply don't have time nor the inclination to continue to attempt to educate you on how this banana republic actually works. I also won't waste any more time on trying to educate you that there are centrists from both political parties that see what has been done to us.....you are simply too blinded by your love for the leftard clown posse party.....and there are those that are too attached to the neocon trotsky-ites in the repub party to see the big picture.

dude, only the right wing thinks health care reform is a Bad thing.

dears, nothing but repeal, is a Bad thing.

The Democrats caused the Great Recession.

Articles: Uh, Hillary, Your Hubby Caused the 2008 Recession

We had a new central bank that had not been, "beta tested".

Obamacare is the only thing the Democrats have passed since LBJ thanks to the GOP... And they worked with the GOP for months for the GOP finally said nobody's voting for it. Sorry you missed that too... Plus it is the GOP plan that's why it sucks LOL... Single-payer would be a lot better but that'll never happen

You are so wrong.

In fact, you could do a google search to find out what was passed under Obama. The very first one being equal pay for equal work.

But most of Obama's presidency was the GOP hoping to deny Obama a second term, so lots of gridlock. The second term, they wanted to deny him a legacy so more gridlock.

Now they have a racist moron in office. Exactly what they wanted. Turns out, that's not really what they wanted.

Poll: Majority wish Obama were president, and nearly half think Trump is 'mentally unstable'

More data suggesting, former Secretary Clinton did not, "reach out" to the single female constituency.

The fact is the Hussein did nearly double the national debt.

Facts are stubborn things.

On what?

Hmmm, yea, let's see.

Iraq war and Afghanistan war BEFORE "Mission Accomplished" - 1 trillion
Iraq rebuilding and Afghanistan AFTER "Mission Accomplished" - 3 trillion
Deficit creating Bush tax cuts - revenue lost - three trillion
Unpaid for Medicaid drugs to buy seniors vote - 1.5 trillion
It's estimated the Bush/GOP recession cost the economy - 22 trillion

When you start adding up all the mess and disaster the GOP and Bush put this country through and the fact they took away methods to raise revenue, the deficit is way, way less than it could have been.

George W. Bush never said "Mission accomplished".

He said,"Our mission continues".

Tax cuts do not create deficits either.

Your entire post is nothing but tripe.

dear Person on the right wing; if cutting taxes is soo Good for our economy, why do we have, massive Debt?
