WashingtonPost on the Deficit, Bush vs. Obama

[bunkerfan]

It wasn't their policies that helped unemployment.

 

[chaotic optimist]

Obama's 2011 budget failed 97-0 in the Senate, fuck your inanely biased graphs from a liberal newspaper

 

[Mai Y]

Quit blaming me!!!

 

[GARY I]

Except the economy didn't get better after the stimulus and revenues haven't increased, nor did I say tax cuts "paid for themselves", in fact I explicitly stated I was NOT saying that, but uh... good try?

 

[we found safety]

Also known as the housing bubble. The Tax cuts didn't create revenues and wages stayed flat. It was the housing market. Thanks for playing though.

also, if you are not going to quantify how much the tax cuts cost, and how much of the debt belongs to bush, then you're not even arguing

 

[Miss Awan]

Spending increases every time a vote fails in the senate

 

[<Jelz>]

Then why did tax revenue increase fairly steadily?

 

[Sara E]

Yes I am, I'm arguing that the chart is stupid.

If someone is gonna make a claim, they're going to have to find something better than that to support it.
