From 2006 to 2010, it has been a Dem House & a Dem Senate, but lets not assign any blame to them, or any credit to "W" for bailing out Wall Street, eh?

Like I said before, our deficit when the D's took over in 2007 was only $200 billion. Now it is $1.1 trillion in 2008, $1.4 trillion in 2009, $1.3 trillion in 2010, at least $1.3 trillion in 2011 not counting the Healthcare fiasco. And they are projecting over a $1 trillion dollar deficit for a several more years to come because of the irresponsible bills passed int he LAST TWO YEARS!! And they are trying to still blame deificits that will be that high for up to 7 years after Bush left office and over 7 years after the Dems took over the Senate, on Bush!!! They are soooooo clueless.
Thank God the majority of Americans on Tuesday are finally seeing the truth and know that the small handfull who still believe that Bush is responsible for our over $1 trillion dollar deficit every year for 7 years AFTER he left office, are totally clueless and uneducated! BUSH IS NOT WRITING THE BILLS AND SIGNING THEM ANYMORE!!! You can't blame him for over $1 trillion dollar deficits every year up to 2015. That is Dems not being responsible as usual and trying to blame others for their parties mistakes!!
The National Debt increased $4.9 trillion under Bush in 8 years and that is including the worst attack ever on our soil that cost our economy almost $1 trillion of that, then the two wars which many of us still feel are well worth it. And almost $1.5 trillion of that was AFTER the Dems took over all the spending in 2007 and 2008.
Now under Obama, it is predicted that even without a $1 trillion dollar loss to our economy from a terrosits attack, he will add at least $5.9 trillion to our debt in just his first 4 years!! He is on pace to add almost $12 trillion to our debt if he stays 8 years. Out total deficit was less than $10 trillion with all the previous presidents in history combined when he took over. He is a national security theat!!
V,
Why do you use facts to dispute Dem talking points?
Actually it was both the Dems & Republicans that spent like crazy and expanded entitlements. And Obama? He tried to get us out of the Great Recession the only way he knew how, porkbarrel spending.
