American Conservatives are Embarrassing

Bush's debt, unpatriotic

Obama's debt, patriotic.

Any question

The first graph shows the difference between budget projections and budget reality. In 2001, President George W. Bush inherited a surplus, with projections by the Congressional Budget Office for ever-increasing surpluses, assuming continuation of the good economy and President Bill Clinton’s policies. But every year starting in 2002, the budget fell into deficit. In January 2009, just before President Obama took office, the budget office projected a $1.2 trillion deficit for 2009 and deficits in subsequent years, based on continuing Mr. Bush’s policies and the effects of recession.

“President Bush said today that there was a benefit to the government’s fast-dwindling surplus, declaring that it will create ”a fiscal straitjacket for Congress.” He said that was ”incredibly positive news” because it would halt the growth of the federal government.
In a 45-minute news conference in a community hall next to an RV park here, Mr. Bush avoided specific answers to several questions about how he would find the money for his next big initiatives, from missile defense, to overhauling the military, to reforming Medicaid, without dipping into Social Security surpluses that both parties have declared off limits.

PRESIDENT ASSERTS SHRUNKEN SURPLUS MAY CURB CONGRESS

Deficit is a meaningless word if there is debt... You cant categorize money in accounts that way.
If there is not enough money to pay off the whole debt at anytime, it means it's just a debt.
Anything else is robbing Peter to pay Paul...

Seriously, Rustic......you're a moron......

Government borrowing money is the wrong way to do business... Because the government does not have any money.

So I ask again.....

Have you ever voted for a POTUS who bequeathed smaller deficits to his successor than those he inherited?

Please answer the question this time...

So it's patriotic when Obama does it?

Yes it was. Bush spent the money, but we couldn't have an accurate accounting of what we ended up owing until all that money was accounted for.

Frank would be wise to "man up" and admit what every school child already knows that the war was put "off budget" so that Shrub's budget didn't look quite so disastrous

Your search for, "on the books, unpaid for wars, off budget" yielded 0 results

FY 2006 Supplemental Funding : The Defense Department base budget also does not include “one time only” costs attributable to the War on Terror, which are submitted as Supplemental Funding

Ah! So that's why Obama's debt is patriotic!

You've mastered Double Think

That would two more thinks than you've mastered, apparently

Now you're staggering down Queer Street.........

There is no such thing with an career politician, it's just debt.

Therefore Obama's massive, unprecedented debt in all human history is patriotic

Any debt is unacceptable...
