I Have A Question For Republicans

[Redfish]

You'll notice the article conveniently stops before Bush's deficits. We went from an $18 billion deficit under Clinton to a $1.9 trillion deficit under Bush.

Government - Historical Debt Outstanding - Annual 2000 - 2015

.....AND, the wars' cost were "off-budget".....

Yep, and funded by both parties in congress, including Hillary Clinton.

 

[JoeNormal]

If you remember, Clinton also left a recession. A dot-com collapse and Y2K. What Bush did was stop the recession without a huge effect on the economy. Something that Obama should have taken note.

That recession doesn't even compare to the crash at the end of the Bush years.

Not even close.

Got it, Bush was responsible for everything including the demise of the dinosaurs and the Chicago fire. we understand your illogical partisan rants.

Now, there was no recession in 2008. There was a market correction. Those happen periodically. When everyone was selling in 08, I bought. Now that the market has turned around very nicely I am enjoying profits of 200 and 300% on some stocks. So are other intelligent investors who understand the that the left wing bullshit about recession was just that, bullshit.

You must be thankful that the government saved the economy from collapsing then.

 

[Redfish]

Clinton never left a surplus....end of thread.

Bush said he did

He used it as a justification to slash taxes

Obama continued those "tax slashes". If they were so terrible why did he continue them?

the economy was never going to collapse. you are brainwashed with liberal bullshit.

When Bill Clinton left a balanced budget with surpluses in line to completely eliminate the national debt by 2012, why did George W. Bush slash tax rates for the rich and double the debt from $5.7 trillion to nearly $12 trillion?

Don't forget that W. also took us to war without raising taxes and he signed an unfunded expansion of medicare.

W. liked to spend without paying for it.

The GOPs have been successful in convincing their base that business will suffer if you don't cut their taxes and give them loopholes. The GOP base also thinks that rich people will stop creating jobs if we raise their taxes back to 1990's levels.

So, the W. tax cuts have remained in place for the rich... where are the jobs???

Bill Clinton Legacy of Myththology and Surplus.

Then why did the national debt go up every year that Slick was in office?

Government pushed it to the brink of collapse by forcing sub prime loans from banks and they providing endless free money to fund it

 

[nat4900]

I assumed your understanding of the tax code, c-corps, employer match tax, etc. would have made your question invalid as he has not paid "zero" in taxes.

Well, hold the presses.....YOU have then actually seen his tax returns....Amazing....

I am going by the ONLY tax returns he submitted for licensure to the NJ Gaming Commission...and at that time, yes, he showed that his liabilities were more than his assets....and all that from someone who boasts that he is the greatest salesman to ever inhabit the planet....Go figure.

 

[nat4900]

Yep, and funded by both parties in congress, including Hillary Clinton.

.....which, in your biased mind, should take Cheney and Bush off the hook even though the orders to go to war were uttered by the GWB oval office.......

Do you EVER wonder why you and your ilk blame Obama for so much, but when it comes to Bush you INSIST on bringing congress into the blame game???

You apparently have no idea what a house of cards our economy has become. Whatever industries there are out there are dependent upon the continued delivery of materials from other industries which are in turn, dependent upon continued delivery of materials from other industries...

Let me guess, you've never produced an actual, physical commodity in your life.

Nope, it was a feeding frenzy. I refer all the people who've been duped to this radio show:

355: The Giant Pool of Money

 

[nat4900]

Obama continued those "tax slashes". If they were so terrible why did he continue them?

From what I've read, THAt was the "devil's bargain" with congress to get the auto industry bailout money.

BTW, I will readily admit that Trump did pay some sales' taxes when he bought his jet and he probably paid some taxes when he purchases his hair spray.

Lending establishments believed that the price of housing only went up and therefore stopped performing even cursory checks on whether or not a borrower could afford payments. That's when the shit hit the fan.

BTW, did you listen to the Giant Pool of Money?
