You're so right. Bush and the GOP from 2000-2006 ruined the economy, lied us into wars, etc and look at how quickly and easily they put the GOP back into office in 2010 and 2014.
Oh, and it wasn't like they showed up TO VOTE for the GOP. They just didn't show up at all and that's how you won. Of course you like it that less people vote. But that makes you an intellectually dishonest idiot in my book to argue that it is good less people vote not more.
Oh Jesus... not this stupid shit again.
Do you want to pretend it didn't happen or wait for me to forget? This is why we'll get no where with fools like you who don't even know/remember what the **** happened to us once Bush got into office.
Remember he took Clinton's SURPLUS and squandered it. Him and his GOP party led by Tom Delay.
There's one huge problem here... Clinton did not leave Bush a surplus. And btw.... Obama has added more to the debt than all his predecessors.. combined.
And so did Bush. So did Clinton.
And yes he did leave him a projected surplus. If spending remained and if taxes coming in remained the same, Bush would have a surplus. But NOTHING stayed the same. Bush gave the rich tax breaks. Strike 1. Lied us into 2 wars. Strike 2. Let illegals flood in to compete with American workers for "jobs Americans won't do". Strike 3. Sent all the good paying union manufacturing jobs overseas. Strike 4. Deregulated the banks and mortgage companies who would no doubt use those deregulations to fuckin ruin the economy.
And it was all by design. The rich got everything they wanted. Its called Disaster Capitalism. Cause a crisis so we have to implement your policies you say will fix the crisis and when they don't work blame it on the other side.
1. Who would you give the breaks to if not the ones paying the taxes?
2. Nobody lied.... that BS has been debunked for a decade now.
3. Yeah, Bush invented this....
4. Better read up on the CRA bub... you people got what you wanted with SISA loans and all that stupid shit. Bush actually warned of an impending crisis and the DEM's laughed.
I've heard all these arguments/lies from the right in 2009. Piss off stupid.
I would give the tax breaks to the middle class and poor. Remember Bush wanted to not be in an official recession so he sent everyone $300? Why didn't he just give his rich friends the money? Because he knew they wouldn't go SPEND IT like the middle class and poor will. And this way even benefits the rich because if the poor and middle class are spending, the rich are making more money.
Our way works, your way does not. Sorry.
Stop crying about what's fair. Ask yourself what works.
