Our deficit is currently about 10% of the GDP. That's scary as hell.

I know, I know, it's all W's fault.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

I suppose we can give Bush credit for all the spending that went on when the GOP had control of both chambers for 6 years. I know you lot like to wiggle and weasel but a face isn't going to cut it. Also, I forgot the Democratic congress were the ones that spend all that money fighting the cold war and won it, and invaded Iraq in the early 90's. Thanks for reminding me.

Anything to deflect from how much these current idiots are spending I suppose.

You're an abrasive know it all. Like most progressives. But you already know that. No need to get vulgar with me.

Nah, I just don't care for stupid posts with no basis in reality and those who post them.

Whatever you say.

Obama increased the deficit by $1 trillion in his first year in office. Adjusting for inflation, your Lord's first year spending was about 21% of what Clinton spent his entire 8 years in office. He's shattering spending records.

That's real, despite what you'd like to believe.

I don't gamble, but here:

FOXNews.com - Obama Shatters Spending Record for First-Year Presidents

In fiscal 2009 the federal government spent $3.52 trillion -- $2.8 trillion in 2000 dollars, which sets a benchmark for comparison. That fiscal year covered the last three-and-a-half months of George W. Bush's term and the first eight-and-a-half months of Obama's.
That price tag came with a $1.4 trillion deficit, nearly $1 trillion more than last year. The overall budget was about a half-trillion more than Bush's for 2008, his final full fiscal year in office.


US Federal Deficit - Charts Tables History

Is $1.4 trillion (2009 US Defecit) - $410 billion (2008 US Defecit) about $1 trillion? A 2nd grader would tell you yes.

Pssst, the 2009 budget was Bush's budget....I know, you didn't know that did you? Of course you did.

Truth is your boy Bush done fucked shit up real bad and passed on a disgusting budget outlay to Lord Obama...I know you don't want to admit it and love kicking Obama in the nuts but your people done fucked shit up. They cut taxes, spend a ton, used budgetary gimmicks to hide spending, and finally kicked the ball to our savior, Lord Obama.

Listen, smart guy, I fully understand that Dems tax and spend but I can't understand why you think your angelic GOP doesn't tax and spend. It's crystal clear to me that they spend, and spend, and suck the life U.S. budget time and again yet you lot pretend they're more fiscally conservative than Dems. I don't get it. You really think McCain would have spend less than Obama? GTFOOH with your bullish.

Of course, you're not taking in consideration that we just went through the biggest recession since the great depression?

Honestly, I'm over it for today. I'm having a drink and trying to enjoy the remainder of my night. I know better than to get into all these political conversations, yet I do it anyway. Doing it after a drink or two is definitely not smart.

Cheers to all, even you Saden1.

Yes and that trillion was pretty much wasted and everything he said it would do it has not done.

Yeah, except for grow the economy three consecutive quarters? And keep, oh, tens of thousands police, firemen, and teachers employed across the nation? And oh, allow a number of states and municipalities to meet their budget(s) without plunging local economies into depression. And should we start on GM and the banks who have turned the corner and are paying back the bailout money - almost all of it?

Yeah, the stimulus and bailout sucked big time!!

Thats probably the G NO P's fault and not Obama's. In fact, I know it is!
