Pelosi Blames Bush for $9T Debt Added Under Obama

Pelosi argued that under Obama, the annual budget deficit, which contributes to the national debt, has been reduced dramatically, and said that without Obama's work, the national debt would be even higher. She also mostly blamed Bush for not paying for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Every bit of that is demonstrably true....what's getting your colon in a twist, Unrepentant 2 Time Scrub Voting Imbecile?

Obama's work? What pray tell would that be? He's a tax and spend liberal. The only reason the budget deficit has been reduced is that the GOP took the House back from the Democrats in 2010. Pelosi claiming "credit" for reducing the deficit is amusing since she's one of the people who foisted the Affordable Care Act on the American people.
Clearly you are not getting it....

I don't give a shit what you drooling slack jawed cretins have been told to think....

a) You can determine, by means of the WH budget request of 2009, what Obama's spending plans were.....he was proposing increases considerably more modest than those we saw under his predecessor, and much more so than those under Ronald Reagan

b) ACA has added NOTHING to the deficit - according to CBO.....Why don't you tell everyone what CBO stands for?


national debt January 09 -- 10.6T
national debt January 17 -- 19.8T

Under obozo the Kenyan messiah our national debt almost doubled. Those stats cannot be questioned.

Now, shall we address Pelosi claiming that the ACA bill was bi-partisan?

The fiscal year starts Oct 1st of the year prior to those dates. Most spending is mandatory, which means it must be changed by Congress, as must taxation.


yes, that's correct. Obama had both houses of congress his first two years, why did they do nothing about the debt?

No matter how you try to spin it, our national debt was almost doubled during obozo's term. and yes, the republicans are partially responsible. Debt is an establishment problem in both parties.

Because, you idiot, the only means by which he could address it is through THE DEFICIT......which has been drastically reduced from where Scrubby left it...

Bush had control of both houses and DID double the debt from $6 trillion to $12 trillion. Obama is nowhere near the $24 trillion needed to double the GOP National Debt.

Wasn't the debt slightly over 10 trillion at the end of 2008? If it stands at 19.5 trillion now it's rather apparent that Barry did almost double the debt in his eight years!
 
THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN AMERICAN HISTORY, MAYBE THE WORLD:

Pelosi blames Bush for $9 trillion in debt added under Obama.

Is there anything he can’t do?

Those stats cannot be questioned.

One might begin with "Why Jan 09"?

Another question might be "What manner of inbred douche is unaware that the Federal Fiscal year runs from Oct. 1 to Sept 30?"

Which leads directly into the question "Why are Uninformed Yokels allowed to vote, never mind breed?"

Anytime you snowflakes want to have voting rights based on intelligence, Slim...you just let us know! You're the ones who don't want voter ID laws enforced because YOUR voters can't figure out how to get an ID for themselves!

It was $11.9+ trillion at the end of Bush's last FISCAL year.
Look it up.

when Obama took office the debt was 10.6T today it is almost 20T. It almost doubled during his 8 years. Spin all you can, that is fact and cannot be refuted.

You hold Bush responsible for the debt incurred during his tenure, but not Obama for his?

You libs are the most disingenuous people on earth.

the deficit defines the RATE of debt growth, reducing the annual deficit by a few million does not stop the debt from growing.

How about making the deficit zero? how about a surplus? Clinton and Newt created an annual surplus, did obozo try? Duh, no.

Uh...no....the reason I object to them is the very same reason distinguished jurist Richard Posner does....

the issue is a hoax......there is NO voter fraud problem......you are being played for a fool.......and Recidivist Supply Side Voting Imbeciles are fertile ground.

"A few million"?

The deficit was 1.5 TRILLION at the conclusion of Scrub's last fiscal year (you remember Scrub........he was the guy for whom you cast two votes on the basis of his promise to ELIMINATE the surplus he was bequeathed......a sentient would feel kinda stupid and might keep their mouth shut for...oh.....say.......several decades........but not you lot........beholding the consequences of your disastrous choices, you just draw more strength - with which to complain about the pace of repairs)...

It will be about 550 BILLION at the end of FY2017.....

is the difference between 1.5 TRILLION and 550 BILLION "a few million"?
 
Blame others the liberal way. Lol, so Obama didn't do anything? So liberals you say Obama's presidency was a great success? Well pelosi just gave it to Bush. So you admit Obama is a failure!
Did Scrub pay for his wars?

Has the deficit been reduced? By how much?
FDR never "paid for" WWII

Boldly Asserted, Frank.....

4. To understand New Deal taxation, we have to understand World War II taxation. The New Deal experiment with soak-the-rich taxation ended with a whimper. In 1938, business leaders, Republicans, and conservative Democrats united to destroy the undistributed profits tax, Roosevelt's most ambitious but least durable tax innovation. For a moment, it looked as though progressive taxation had reached its high-water mark.

In fact, the tide was still coming. World War II changed the politics of taxation forever -- or at least for the next 50 years or so. Driven by staggering revenue needs, lawmakers in both parties agreed to raise taxes on everyone: rich, poor, and -- especially -- the middle class. Treasury economists got the broad-based income tax they'd been seeking since 1934; the number of people paying the levy increased sevenfold in just a few years. But New Deal lawyers got their high rates on the rich, too. The top marginal rate for individual income tax payers reached 94 percent in 1944, and effective rates on the top 1 percent reached nearly 60 percent the same year.

After the war, effective rates dropped substantially. But the income tax retained both its breadth and its steep nominal rate structure. What changed was the focus on loopholes. High rates made loopholes valuable, and lawmakers in both parties tacitly embraced them. As long as rates stayed high, members of Congress could do a brisk business selling tax preferences. Narrow ones could be marketed to well-heeled contributors. Broader ones could be used to assuage the worries of middle-class voters. It was a good deal for everyone - - at least for a while.
