Need more independents in Congress as this political circus is sickening. Both parties suck and only care about getting reelected, not fixing the country.
Awesome, you've addressed none of the facts presented. Just more "it's bush's fault" and I've told you a lot of it is. But he's not in office any more. Your guy Obama is and he's doing an even worse job on domestic spending.
Yes bush left a 1.2T deficit and included in that 1.2T was 760B for tarp. The actual deficit was about 460B. A massive portion of the deficit is indeed due to rampant spending under bush that is true. But after TARP the deficit was nowhere near a T. After accounting for automatic risers due to the recession the structural deficit from Bush is somewhere between 800 and 900B out of the 1.6T deficit. Leaving roughly 45% of at Obama's feet. The feet of the man and the party that railed for years (correctly) against absurd spending under GW Bush.
Upon gaining complete control in 08 they went on a spending binge that makes GW's look like buying a Infiniti at the Porsche dealer.
If you took out a loan, to pay off your previous loan from last year, then the next year took out a loan to pay off that previous year loan, then continued on year after year: YOU'D BE IN FUCKING JAIL FOR KITING.
