george bush designed the fiscal cliff.

It could be worse.Obama could have increased the deficit 1.2 trillion a year like Bush did

 

When I was a young teenager, I heard this song and it captivated me! I said, yes! We can do all of this!

Now, I realize the biting sarcasm this artist had.

Yeah really, everyone knows Bush is better than Obama. Duh!

 

So its better to turn a budget surplus into a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit
then it is to reduce a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit into a 900 billion dollar deficit ?

 

You should read O'neil's book about his time as Treasury Secretary under Bush. It is pretty damning of the administration.

My search turned up a current federal deficit of 1.267 trillion.

 

The next budget starts in Oct and is currently at 900 billion

Ok,lets use the one that is ending. Is starting with a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit and ending with a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit worse then starting with a balanced budget and ending with a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit ?

 

All I'm seeing here is desperation to defend your Führer.

 

How is Obama worse when he started with a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit and ended with a 900 billion dollar deficit when Bush started with a budget surplus and ended with a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit Luke ?

 

Don't waste your time on Lucrum. He goosesteps to a different drummer.
