Don't forget, GW Bush Financed Two Wars!
byDreamNumber9


GW Bush started two wars when he was in office, but let's not even get into how unjust and illegal the war in Iraq was started. Bush, 43, had already given the surplus away that he inherited from Clinton ~ to the rich (oh heck, here' some extra money I'll just give it all away mentality). After that money was about spent, he started the war in Afghanistan and the one in Iraq. He handily put those wars on "America's credit card" like he was just nonchalantly going out to dine and handing the waiter his American Express card. La de da. Year after year he paid nothing on this war debt and requested that nothing be paid ... and that money just kept accruing interest by the billions. La de da, right?

During this time that the national debt was soring, oil speculators, that the Bush administration lie in bed with, made a killing as the price of gas rose to over $5.00 a gallon. The right said NOTHING. They did NOTHING. The housing market started going to hell in a hand basket. The right said NOTHING. The right did NOTHING. More La de da.

Remember when America almost went into another Great Depression at the 11th hour as GW Bush was leaving the building ~ and we had to bail out the banks and Wall St? Yep, still more La de da from the right.

Not until Obama got into office did the far Right Wing have a voice and decide to give a damn about our economy. This strange voice we had never heard from in over a decade, decided to call themselves the Tea Party. They became known for being the greedy right wing faction of the GOP who decided it was time all social programs were cut, but their very own, of course. Much to their demise their own precious entitlements are on the chopping block and they WILL be effected even though their right wing talking heads tell them differently.

the rest
(and YES I am pissed)

1. does anyone believe that there would be a debt ceiling 'crisis' if a thug were president?

6. Of course not.

But God forbid Obama be able to get even the simplest, most routine task done without the RW turning it into a crisis. :grr:

2. These ideas make me angry also. NOT ONE Repub gave a

hoot in hell about the deficit or how much TWO OFF THE BOOKS wars were costing us.

Makes me furious also. We have to agree to give away our future because some a**hat President wanted to live out some war fantasy and no one stopped him?

3. It was raised

7 times in 8 years of Bushco. No hysteria that I recall.

But the government is taking no chances. Buried deep in the hundred pages of bailout legislation is a provision that would raise the statutory ceiling on the national debt to $11.315 trillion. It'll be the 7th time the debt limit has been raised during this administration. In fact it was just two months ago, on July 30, that President Bush signed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, which contained a provision raising the debt ceiling to $10.615 trillion.

4. Technically, they still don't.

[Brigid]

5. Not around here. You can see it.

This town has been in the economic doldrums since about the early 1970s. You have only to look around and you can tell. No Republican gives a damn about this town or the countless others just like it.

[Cool Logic]

7. Actually, I think everyone cares about the economy...

Particularly their own economies.

8. Funny how they don't mind a Speaker with orange skin

but CAN'T STAND a president with brown skin.
I sincerely believe that we wouldn't be in this mess if Obama was a white man.
Boy, and I thought we were getting past that "race thing". Silly me.
