Do as you are told and we might make something of you yet.
You are so incredibly gullible. Now I know for certain you have an inferiority complex. Sit down Napoleon.

You need to post a lot more....The libs on this site hate Republicans more than they love Obama. They know he's dogshit. They know he's incompetent. They know he's fucked up the chances for the Democrats ever to win another elecition. But they'll have their dicks/tits cut off before they admit any of that. It's "yay, my team" and nothing more.
Why should we believe Republicans would do a better job of putting us on the road to surplus when their MO's been to spend, spend, spend?
Neither Republicans or Democrats are capable of doing a good job, much less their overall job. So, where does that leave you?
.how much of the debt increase do you blame Obama for, based on his direct actions, and in keeping with the basic principle of cause and effect.
See where I blamed Bush for the $1.903 trillion he incurred in his last year in office? Or can you not read?
Do you feel that Bush should not have increased spending in his final budget, in response to the recession?

It was that or let the economy collapse. If I recall, Obama did the same thing with his 'stimulus.' In the end though, all it did was put us further into debt. Delaying the inevitable. I am not just blaming Bush, I'm blaming every president since Ronald Reagan for putting us on this path. And each president who comes and goes without addressing this debt is just as guilty as the one before him for letting it grow.
Just because you were wrong in more than one place doesn't make you right about Obama.
And you aren't? Being a cheerleader for a failed leader doesn't make you an expert on him. I've laid out the facts, it's your turn to sully an attempt to disprove them.
See, this doesn't really answer my question. At first you say if he hadn't, the economy would have collapsed, suggesting you approve of the increased spending at that time.
But then you say it all only put us further into debt, and that Bush and Obama only delayed the inevitable, as if to say they shouldn't have bothered.
You almost talk like the economy has gone past a point of no return, as if a depressive cataclysm is unavoidable and all that's left is to assign blame.
I'm just looking at one window, 2007-2008: was that a situation where increased spending was justified?
If not, is there any situation where increased spending is justified?

Just so you know I'm not trying to lay some crappy trap here, that's my feeling as well.

I'm not defending the trend of increasing spending over all these years. I'm just looking at one window, 2007-2008: was that a situation where increased spending was justified? If not, is there any situation where increased spending is justified?

Let me guess, would you had rather him played the fiddle while America's economy collapsed? You don't seem to care that Obama did the same thing. So, did you approve of what he did? Try not to lecture me, mister. Sacrifices had to be made. In any recession spending goes up, that's just the nature of things.
But then you say it all only put us further into debt, and that Bush and Obama only delayed the inevitable, as if to say they shouldn't have bothered.
Speak for yourself. You really suck at mind reading.
What I meant is that each time you spend your way out of a recession, you only delay the inevitable, while hastening it at the same time. But in the short term however, it helps keep the economy stable for the time being. It gives our inept politicians a chance to pull their heads out of their butts and devise a solution. But until they do, the grim end is but a certainty.

There is blame, and it lies on the shoulders of each president who doesn't try to address the spending problem. You have any better ideas, bub?
I'm just looking at one window, 2007-2008: was that a situation where increased spending was justified?
And yet you lecture me about not placing blame. I saw it as justified. What would you have done in that situation?
If not, is there any situation where increased spending is justified?
Unbeknownst to you, yes there is. Wartime for example, take World War II. Roosevelt had to spend nearly over $200 billion to help fund the war machine. Before that time though, the debt was in the tens of billions. Had we not funded out troops adequately in the War, we'd be speaking German and Japanese right now.

Are you really so eager to pick a fight, you can't tell when someone holds the same position as you? I mean, wow, you actually cut from your quotes of my post the part where I said "That's my feeling as well," concerning Bush's recession spending.
I may suck at mind-reading, but you suck at just plain reading.

I may suck at mind-reading, but you suck at just plain reading.
From prior positions you have stated to me, it can be inferred that you disagreed with the increased spending undertaken by the Bush administration to address the recession, but seemingly excused Obama when it came to the same thing. I don't see how you can hold the same position as I, whilst citing your discontent in the same breath.
You spoke as if the spending wasn't justified, first, you asked "I'm just looking at one window, 2007-2008: was that a situation where increased spending was justified?" then you asked "...is there any situation where increased spending is justified?" you asked. Just what am I to discern from those questions?

You said earlier you "blamed" Bush for his increased spending as the recession hit. From that point, I was trying to sound out whether you were some anti-spending zealot who felt Bush should have let the collapse happen.
That last page has been me trying to suss out as straightforwardly as possibly if I'd misread your position, and you making assumptions about me and slinging shit my way.
Do you feel that Bush should not have increased spending in his final budget, in response to the recession?
It was that or let the economy collapse. If I recall, Obama did the same thing with his 'stimulus.' In the end though, all it did was put us further into debt. Delaying the inevitable.
