Schizophrenic Republicans alert Nothing of note happened during Obama’s presidency? Are you brain damaged? We were in the midst of an awful economic situation that brought us to the brink of a full on depression. I just don’t understand how you right wingers act like this never happened and how damaged the economy was when Obama took over. It’s absolutely mind boggling that you don’t factor the Great Recession into your analysis. Were you in a coma from 2007 to 2010?
There are 3 branches of government. The shit shows you mention are when democrats controlled 2/3rd of government. The good shit like the surplus is when republicans controlled 2/3rds of government.
Bushs tax cuts,Bushs wars,Bushs unpaid for medicare expansion and Bush increasing military spending from 300 a billion a year to 600 billion a year all passed when republicans controlled the the government.
Next you will be telling us when Trump increased the deficit from 600 billion a year to a trillion a year democrats were in charge.
Fun Fact: Obama spent $1.5 trillion more on the military budget than Bush did. Bush $3.1 Trillion Obama $4.66 Trillion https://www.statista.com/statistics/272473/us-military-spending-from-2000-to-2012/ *Edit* Ignore the fact it says 2000-2012 in the link. It shows to 2017 if you click.
Fun Fact.When Bush came into office the defense budget was less than 300 billion a year.When Bush left the defence budget was around 600 billion a year When Obama came into office the defense budget was around 600 billion a year.When Obama left the defence budget was around 600 billion a year. Bushs increased defense spending- over 100% Obamas increased defense spending- 0 %
Im not changing the goalposts to fit my narrative. You start talking in dollars, and when I point out Obama spent more dollars than Bush, you change it to percentage increase in deficit. When I point out the big increases in deficit happen under democrat controlled congress, you say republicans lit the fire, but ignore democrats threw gas on it.
This thread is the epitome of fake news.----lefties see something that they think is favorable to their narrative and immediately re-elite it without checking anything out.
