Why Republicans Should Stop Bitching About The Debt That Has Accumulated Under Obama

[Billy000]

Here is a no bullshit assessment about what exactly the debt under Obama is composed of. As you can see Obama's biggest expenses were his TAX CUTS and defense spending - policies republicans love.

President Barack Obama - The second largest contributor to the debt dollar-wise was President Obama. He added $4.8 trillion, a 41% increase, in just one term. Obama's budgets included the economic stimulus package, which added $787 billion by cutting taxes, extending unemployment benefits, and funding job-creating public works projects. The Obama tax cuts added $858 billion to the debt over two years. Obama's budget included increased defense spending to around $800 billion a year. Federal income was down, thanks to lower tax receipts from the 2008 financial crisis.

Both Presidents Bush and Obama had to contend with higher mandatory mandatory spending for Social Security and Medicare. He also sponsored the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was designed to reduce the debt by $143 billion over 10 years. However, these savings didn't show up until the later years.

US Debt by President


Of course, all this being said, I do agree Obama has spent too much on defense and he shouldn't have extended Bush's tax cuts. My point is that Repubs are ignorant about what exactly Obama's expenses are.

All spending in voluntary.

Fault: Obama

Food stamp program grew by how many billions?

I think you conveniently forgot quite a bit.

Far from it

Very little is discretionary

 

[blackhawk]

Get back to us when you and the left stop bitching about Bush.

That won't ever happen so lets not hold our breaths

 

[Billy000]

[Billy000]

The typical USMB conservative response so far.

That's usually the response from people who don't care for the truth. For years Republican criticism of Obama no matter what it is the lefts response is Bush this or Bush that . What will truly be funny is when the left can defend Obama without a but Bush add on.

Wait.... You think your OP was different in that regard?

How about you just address the specific info in the thread? Otherwise, why bother?

QE is a horrible policy, I agree. But QE is something the President and Congress have no control over--it is a policy of the Federal Reserve.

Hmm, debt was $5.6T when Bush took over.
Debt was $10T when Obama took over.
It is over $17T now.
Bush added less than 5 trillion dollars in eight years.
Obama added 7 trillion dollars in six years.
Looks like Obama wins Biggest Spender of All Time award.

What was Billy Nothing bleating about?
