If that's what this is really about, where were these people for the last 8 years?

 

That's the real question. We should be pissed that people didn't start this 6-7 years ago. Not that they are doing it now.

People were upset then too though... not as many people since everyone was all afraid of terrorists or some shit... and the budget wasn't as high.

 

For example.

 

 

I mean in comparison Bush's deficits don't even look like anything.

 

1.2 trillion of those 2009 numbers are Bush's.  I agree with you guys that the numbers are bad.  I don't think any of us wants the government to run up a bunch of debt.

But even the alternative Republican budget was running major deficits for years to come.  The fact is, we will just have to bite the bullet and cut spending AND raise taxes.  There is no other way to pay down the debt.

 

Why is 1.2 Trillion of the 2009 numbers bush?  Why did he go from 400 billion to 1.2 trillion... out of nowhere?

Oh right... the bank bailouts.  Yeah... that's Bush and the Congress fault.  Really the congress is who these plans should really be blamed on.

It's also who all the Bush deficit running should be blamed on.  I mean congress are the ones with the pursestrings.
