    He does, he's an Obama loon.




    So if Odumbo moved to make government more fiscally responsible. Why is it even more fiscally irresponsible?

  3. Bush brought the deficit from near zero to 1.2 trillion

    Obama brought the deficit from 1.2 trillion to a one time high of 1.6 trillion

    Obama increased the deficit 400 billion,Bush increased the deficit 1.2 trillion

  5. Hi futurecurrents! Do you realize that by creating all these positions actually wastes more of the federal budget? Suddenly they have to pay high level professionals high level salaries. I mean, if you don't believe that these new staff members actually waste money, just remind yourself of all the vacations Obama takes to get back to reality.

  8. Adding all of this up, deficit spending during Obama’s four years in the White House (based on his own figures) will be an estimated $5.170 trillion — or $5,170,000,000,000.00.




    Thats true.If Obama had done nothing but keep Bushs last budget of 1.2 trillion dollar deficit spending it would have added around 4.8 trillion to the debt

    Most of Obamas debt is from paying the bills and lack of revenue Bush left behind

  10. You can blame Obama for not ending Bushs unfunded wars fast enough ,not ending bushs unfunded tax cuts,not ending Bushs unfunded medicare drug program,not firing all the unfunded government employees hired under Bush etc. Bush is responsible for creating all those costs and leaving office with no way to pay for it
