Yes the Liberals here actually believe that Obama can spend us to prosperity. Jillian and others have actually SAID so.
When questioned on why it was bad for Bush to double the deficit in 8 years but ok to triple it in 4 the response universally was that Obama was spending the money in the States so that was good not bad.
you are messing up words rgs,,,president bush Doubled THE NATIONAL DEBT not the deficit....we had no deficit when clinton left office, we carried a surplus....
so pres bush took the $5.6 trillion of our country's accumulated national debt and doubled it to $11 trillion when he left office.
saying that obama will tripple what bush did in 8 years, in 4 years means that our national debt will be $33 trillion in 2012 and THAT my dear, is simply NOT TRUE.....not even close to be true.....and also absolutely IMPOSSIBLE....
the last year of bush's fiscal term, he ended with a $1.5 trillion deficit and obama is on track to reduce this deficit from $1.5 trillion to about 750 billion in deficit by 2012's budget....according to all the charts i have seen from Right wingers on this....that means he's reducing the deficit of the bush administration by 50% in 4 years, NOT tripling it!
care
Simply lying does not change the facts, Bush doubled the debt and it took 8 years, Obama will do the same amount of deficit spending in 4 years, But hey thanks for proving the point.
