It never fails that when I attack Trump's massive big government spending, someone will either directly accuse or insinuate that I didn't do the same about Obama.
Those who have been here a long time know full well I have made the federal debt my number one issue since the get-go. I have stated repeatedly the national debt is the biggest threat to our national security. More than guns, Mexicans, or gays.
So here's an example of a post I made in 2012. I included another poster's contribution because it describes all the promises Obama made and broke, which I approved as a good post:
Mud, your poll didn't give us an 'any and all of the above or anything else that seems to grab any traction' option.
I am thinking he will:
1. Promise complete transparency in government and we will have the option to fully study and understand any legislation before he signs it into law. It worked for him last time.
2. Promise not the raise the debt ceiling because it demontrates an irresponsible dereliction of duty and inability to manage. It worked for him last time.
3. Promise to cut the deficit in half and be approaching full employment by the end of his term of office. It worked for him last time.
4. Promise to close GITMO and begin bringing our troops home immediately and keep us out of other military entanglements. It worked for him last time.
5. Promise the most ethical administration of impeccable integrity in U.S. history. It worked for hm last time.
6. Promise to defend and uphold traditional marriage. It worked for him last time.
7. Promise to secure our borders. It worked for him last time.
8. Promise to provide affordable healthcare for all. It worked for him last time.
This is a good post.
And a lot of people forget Obama was writing checks the American taxpayer could not possibly cash nearly every day of his 2008 campaign. Even without a recession.
In fact, it is precisely because of the recession that Obama was not able to follow through on all that check writing.
No matter what, we'd be deeper in debt with Obama, recession or no recession. All you have to do is look at his "Julia" cartoon to see that. He's still trying to write checks we can't cash.
"No matter what, we'd be deeper in debt with Obama, recession or no recession."
Direct quote. By me.
