Only $4 trillion was added to the deficit unde Bush, and that was during 9/1/01, its aftermath, and 2 wars. In the 1st 6 years ONLY $2.5 trillion in debt was added - pretty incredible. In the last 2 years $1.5 trillion was added., $1 trillion dhy of what had been added over a 6 year period. What changed those last 2 years.
What changed was the LIBERALS took over all of Congress with a 5-seat shy of a Super Majority control of Congress...AND THE BUDGET AND SPENDING! Liberals talk about how the economy went south during Bush's last 2 years - they're right...and THEY CONTROLLED CONGRESS, THEY CONTROLLED THE BUDGET, AND THEY CONTROLLED SPENDING!
Democrats kept that control until the end of Obama's 2nd year. Obama called Bush 'un-patriotic' for adding $4 (actually $2.5) trillion over 8 years...and then HE went on to add almost $7 trillion in only 4 years!
His 1st spending bill was his failed nearly $1 trillion Stimulus bill that contained over 7,000 pieces of self/party-benefitting DNC-ONLY pork! In the end his pork-filled disaster cost tax payrs over $742,000 PER JOB he claimed to have created / saved!
And, again, what do Obama and liberals do? They do what they do best - dodge accountability and blame someone else...
"This is not MY 'Red Line'. It's THE WORLD'S 'Red Line'." What a gutless piece of pooh!
