The Man Who Cost Americans 2.9 Trillion

Hard to imagine Bush only blew through three trillion. He doubled the debt is what he did.

During his eight years in office, President Bush oversaw a large increase in government spending. In fact, President Bush increased government spending more than any of the six presidents preceding him, including LBJ. In his last term in office, President Bush increased discretionary outlays by an estimated 48.6 percent.
During his eight years in office, President Bush spent almost twice as much as his predecessor, President Clinton. Adjusted for inflation, in eight years, President Clinton increased the federal budget by 11 percent. In eight years, President Bush increased it by a whopping 104 percent.

How about this pic of Obama hooked to his visit to the Bush Nausoleum in Tejas...

"... and then that filthy fucking halfwit Bush said, 'Who would believe I would found a libary'... AAAAAA HA HA HA..."

ONCE again the IDIOTS do NOT provide ONE SINGLE SOURCE to Counter these events!

DID THESE EVENTS HAPPEN???

You mean these events were myths.. never happened???

PLUS Obama as all other Presidents NEVER FACED what Bush faced in his 8 years... AND I'D like ANY of you to refute these cataclysmic events!

DID THIS HAPPEN??
1) Dot.com bust cost $5 trillion in lost market value.. this means every year for 30 years now starting in 2000 the federal revenue is over $66 billion written off against taxes owed.
How many people LOST jobs due to the bust??
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 -
and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.

DID THIS HAPPEN??
2) Did YOU forget that 9/11 occurred and it cost $2 trillion over the next 30 years again $33 billion will NOT BE PAiD.. was that Bush's fault?
Jobs lost in New York owing to the attacks: 146,100 JUST in New York!!
Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone.
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.
The Top 10 Financial Events of the Decade

DID THIS HAPPEN??
3) $1 trillion in written off losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history!
The worst Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. Andrew slammed into South Florida in 1992 as a Category 5. It caused 40 deaths and $30 billion in property damage. More than 250,000 people were left homeless and 82,000 businesses were destroyed or damaged.
Hurricane Katrina ALONE! Year 2005: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
On August 25, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the U.S. as a strong Category 3 or low Category 4 storm. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

Hurricane Rita quickly followed Katrina only to make matters worse. Between the two, more than $200 billion in damage was done. 400,000 jobs were lost and 275,000 homes were destroyed. Many of the jobs and homes were never to be recovered. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and over 1,000 were killed and more are missing. The effect on oil and gasoline prices was long-lasting.

400,000 jobs due to Hurricanes Katrina/Rita
145,000 jobs in NYC alone due to 9/11
300,000 jobs lost due to dot.com busts.

Almost 1 million jobs alone from those 3 events

All of this while having almost $100 billion a year in tax revenue due to the above losses !

DID THIS HAPPEN??
4) Economic terrorist attack 9/18/2008 or how the world almost came to the end at 2pm on 9/18/2008.
How close to entire collapse the ENTIRE world's economy was on 9/18/2008 when an economic terrorist attack occurred..

On Thursday (Sept 18), at 11am the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the U.S., to the tune of $550 billion was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury ...estimation is that by 2pm that afternoon, $5.5 trillion would have been drawn out of the money market system of the U.S., would have collapsed the entire economy of the U.S., and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed. It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it."
Zero Hedge: How The World Almost Came To An End At 2PM On September 18

Oh and did I mention along the way when "Mission Accomplished" occurred after less then six weeks of combat in May 2003.. 10 years ago..that over 1 million Iraq people were
saved from starving? 50,000 people a year were starving under Saddam and when he was removed, (by the way at the request of Kerry,Pelosi, and 90% of the 28 million Iraqis) the
UN mandated embargo was removed.
Researcher Richard Garfield estimated that "a minimum of 100,000 and a more likely estimate of 227,000 excess deaths among young children from August 1991 through March 1998" from all causes including sanctions. Human rights in Saddam Hussein's Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Again all this happened and at the same time the MSM was bashing the President DAILY!

Well, our job is to bash the president, that's what we do." --
Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington,
February 2, 2007.Newsweek's Evan Thomas: 'Our Job Is To Bash the President' | NewsBusters

How can one ignore the FACT that $8 trillion in losses are being written off against tax payments?
How can one ignore that near 1 million jobs were lost DUE to those events?
How can one ignore THAT the results of these events have never been widely share because the biased MSM totally bashes Bush FACTS?
-------------------
When Bush started 131,785,000 people employed.
At the end of 2008 136,790,000 people employed or

5,000,000 more employed then when he took office.

When Bush took office in 2001 GDP was $12.355,271,000,000
when Bush left office in 2008 GDP was $14,359,490,000,000
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A 16% increase in GDP or $2 TRILLION.

I want ONE of you idiots to at least admit the above events happened.

And when you do I want you then to admit These events COST $8 trillion to the economy and is costing today at least $66 to $100 billion a year in lost tax revenue because tax payers LIKE OBAMA who reduced his TAXES by writing off $115,516 long term capital loss in 2012 .
From his tax return:
Item 15 Net long-term capital gain or (loss), Combine lines 8 through 14 in column (h) Then go to part III on page 2: LOSS $115,516!!!
FOLKS Obama reduced his taxable income of $724,127 to $608,611 thus reducing his taxes by $65,921!

AND YOU idiots have yet to admit these $8 trillion in losses exist!
YOU have yet to admit there were almost 900,000 jobs lost to these events ....meaning lost payroll taxes, unemployment checks!
All of these lost businesses due to dot.com/911/hurricanes and YOU still don't comprehend the AFFECT on our country's economy???

Did you do all those colors and fonts etc when the ratty little cocksucker from Tejas was pissing blood and money down every drain in sight? If you didn't object to a filthy fucking nutball burning cash like it was tinder, then why do you care what Obama is doing?
I see you have no answer, and dodge with the best of the progressives.

To the ignore list you go.

dear, because intelligent people want the burning to stop. A mother may not see that her son is a terrorist but that does mean she cant see anything!!

Is that really over your head??? Thinking is fun; why not give it a whirl??
 
Bush leaves office with a ten trillion dollar debt. after eight years.


obama in office first four years 16 trillion dollar debt, he'll be in for four more which will take us to 20 trillion or more so



cry us a fucking river why don't you?

Don't get flip with people here when you got your numbers all fucked up! Bush didn't run up no goddamned 10 trillion and Obama didn't run up no 16 trillion.

Doesn't this fuckin' forum have a literacy test? At least an IQ minimum of 70 would work.
 
I read the article, it didn't mention $2.9 trillion.

Where did you get that number?
Please explain further.

Scroll down to May 2003 that makes mention of him. I read it in the author of this link's book tonight in "Who Stole the American Dream," so believe this or not, I don't have a link - I know with rabid commie hunters on a forum like this, this is operating without a net. But I don't care. Get the book and see. He led the "Gang of Six" in a corporate swindle that got the deficit talking trillions, the trillions that we're at what now, 15 trillion in debt? Great guys we're bailing out, hey?

Hedrick Smith** Timeline: Who Stole The American Dream

Thanks for the link.

At a White House ceremony, President Bush thanks “my friend Dirk Van Dongen” for helping to move the Bush tax cuts through Congress. Unknown to most Americans,Van Dongen is a Washington insider, field marshal of the “Gang of Six” — the six major business organizations that anchor the Tax Relief Coalition that lobbied for tax cuts.

You claimed he cost Americans $2.9 trillion. If he was responsible for tax cuts, you should say he saved Americans $2.9 trillion.

Great guys we're bailing out, hey?

Which guys are we bailing out?

Better dig deeper my friend.......
 
ALL you sons of bitches have at least the internet. DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH!!!! I know 10% or less will actually pick up a book and, God forbid, READ! People here provide links. If I'm interested, I will go to the link but THAT'S not the end all. Pick up a fucking BOOK for a change and quit relying on the goddamned propagandanet and the lame boob tube for your information. Fuck all of you sons of bitches. I could give a fat rat's ass about your politics and your endless put downs but for Christ's sake get your heads out of your asses. If you NEED to be right all the time, get on Jeopardy or some damn thing. And quit thinking your country will improve after the next election - for God's sake, how many elections until you get the message?
 
Yup, the dot.com bust was nothing in comparison to 2008- 4 million jobs, 3 trillion lost on Wall St, much more AROUND the world, and half the peoples ASSETS- their real estate, the worst kind of meltdown. Great job, Pubbies.

It says "Total Public Debt Outstanding, $16,758,107,082,298.63"

Right, I know, 16 trillion total. But Bush didn't run up 10 and Obama another 16 - total of 26 like Chief Rain in the Face said. Truth is, neither ran it up - K Street mostly did buying congressmen wholesale. But nobody seems to want to talk about that.
 
Also, Knobby, I ran a first and last date of President Bush's last day in office, which was January 20, 2009 to Jan. 20, 2009, and it lists the debt then as $10,626,877,048,913.08

Willow Tree has her apples all in a row. She wasn't lying. She was stating the facts as near as I can tell.

Great rant, but wasted on, to steal a bit of Edmund's inimitable style, the nutball mind which has neither the integrity nor the work ethic to follow up on much of anything.

How funny is it that nutballs raise hell about welfare people being spoon fed, but as you point out some Lone Ranger type will ride into town and bail their asses out of the mess they voted America into in 1984, 2000 and 2004?

We're not going to change anything. But it is good to read someone who may still believe they can. Good luck.

The treasury figures only tell you what the deficit looked like on a certain day in time. It doesn't make any egregious claims of fault or finger-pointing. It merely states a figure in time about the fiscally indebted state of the union at a given time..

I know it's useless and all these damned forums are the same. Christ, we shouldn't be discussing politicians except only in their being dutiful to K Street power brokers. The worst Welfare Queens have private jets and 5 homes sprinkled all over the world, but no one wants to accept that our politicians spend the past three or more decades selling us up the river by insane tax cuts for the rich that NEVER trickled down and cheering them on as they convoluted the tax codes straight to their favor. Speaking out against it cost John McCain plenty in the early 2000's, the only man to have the balls to say how treasonous it was. May as well talk to a fucking wall.
 
Reagan tripled it to 4 trillion, Bush doubled it to 10, and Obama raised it to 16 in order to avert another Pub Great World Depression. A Pub disaster every time. Now it's their "Party First" obstruction and fear mongering propaganda never seen on such a scale before....Pub dupes!! so damn dumb...

If that was what Willow Brain was saying, then Willow Brain might want to take basic English so literate people can understand.
 
On Clinton's last day in office, there is no figure for January 20, but for January 19, 2001, it states that the total Public Debt Outstanding is $5,727,776,738,304.64.

That's what Bush started out owing.

Obama started out owning the figure above on Bush's last day in office.

And the 16-trillion plus is what it is today.
 
- K Street mostly did buying congressmen wholesale. But nobody seems to want to talk about that.

Of course if that was true an opponent would point it out and the incumbent would be defeated.

Here's what important:

1) Republicans sign the pledge, Democrats don't

2) Republicans have introduced 30 Balanced Budget Amendments since Jefferson's first, Democrats have killed every one of them

3) Republicans are the ones who refuse to keep increasing the debt ceiling, not Democrats!!

4) The Republican party was founded in 1793 by Jefferson to promote smaller government while Democrats oppose this in theory and practice.

And who gave the "Gang (bang) of Six" so much goddamned power? I want an explanation of that, which, I'm sure, we will never get............. The first early version caused the first trillion - it's just one sell out after another. Shit, even Obama sold out to them. Money talks.
