    So if the Bush tax cuts are so good at creating job growth, where are all the jobs? Obama hasn't repealed them yet, and every day that goes by its less likely he will.

    I'll tell you where the jobs are going... China. where they are using the money they are making off of us to build factories to produce cheap goods. social programs are a tiny piece of the deficit pie Bush left us with. The greatest portion of it was the 2 unnecessary wars and the tax cuts.

    Oh, and Dick Cheney just got a pacemaker. I for one, choose to recognize his service to our country by using microwaves as much as possible. Anybody want a hot pocket?

    In the same place as the jobs created by the stimulus.

    Seriously though, the we are in the middle of a deep recession and because of several extremely far reaching pieces of legislation, along with the promise to raise taxes, businesses and individuals simply are not spending money. I did a quick search and couldnt find a decent source, but according to Clark Howard US savings rates are the highest they have been in a couple decades and individual debt is also coming down for the first time in a while.

    He has promised to repeal them since he was on the campaign trail. I see no reason that he would change that.

    yes they are and every year more and more advanced products are being sent overseas to manufacture. One of the main culprits for that would be the insanely high corporate taxes in this country.

    If you include medicare/medicaid, then you are wrong.

    How can you blame Bush for a deficit when he had no hand in writing the budget? Will you liberals ever stand on your own and stop with the blame game?

    Actually no, you are wrong again. The biggest portion is things like the stimulus. Obama's deficit for this year is nearly 3x the size of Bush's largest deficit.


    Dont you ever get sick of being wrong?
