Correct me if im wrong because its been about 12 years since Econ College level courses, but I dont recall anyone saying "run up more debt dont worry about it =prosperity".Originally Posted by .blank cd
Dodging the question by blaming it on someone else. Answer honestly what YOU Think, not what others say or think....unless you are, maybe, trying to finanace a war or two?
Why don't they ever list what the national debt really is, what it consists of, and who holds the majority of it?
If you hate Bush for running up the debt, you LOATH obama. You cant simply say "Obama had no choice because of what BUsh left him" because not only is it patently false, its excuse making.
Do we blame Bush deficits on Clintons RECESSION he left him? The .com bubble was just as deep (not as wide) but just as deep as the collapse in 08, then, 9 months later 9/11 Happened (directly results of Clintons foreign policy). So if you are going to give a pass to obama, you give a pass to bush, and others before him.
But i dont play that game.
you realize the Iraq war is over right? And hes still projecting 900 billion and 1 trillion+ deficits well into the end of his 2nd term. Whats the excuse? the Iraq was has been done for 1-2 years now? Afghan is almost done.
The simple answer is Obama has exploded federal programs and played crony capitalism with companies. FOOD STAMPS=MONEY UE for 99 weeks=MONEY "INVESTING" in Green Energy that goes belly up= MONEY. Obamacare is going to cost a ton of money that they never paid for.
It has little to nothing to do with Bush and his policies. Obamas first 2 years id give him the "well i had to " because of Bush and the economy.
