Okay Communisthater, so your saying that since right-wing economics put us in a recession, we should let right-wing economics take us out?

Only Idiots think one party put us into this terrible recession.  Entitlement talk of a house for everyone, government regulation, and debt loving Americans put us in this recession. 

25.5% teen unemployment hows that gov min wage hike helping?

 

The fact remains the current fiscal crisis was cooking up for 8 years under a Republican administration that did nothing about it.

By the way, before talking about debt loving Americans you should be aware that for the last 30 years the only presidents that have turned up budget surplus have been Democrats. Every republican president since 1980 has increased debt. 

You know I respect everyone's political creds but for fucks sake stop waving the debt flag as a democrat bashing meme - all the republican presidents you voted for did nothing but increase national debt.

Look, turns out I was wrong, the trend has been going on since the 70's. The last Republican president to reduce the debt was Nixon.

Yeah, and until Bush something like all the nations wars were started by Democrats.

Funny how it works.

Also... said wars did a lot when it came to said republicans running up debts.  Because they often inheirted the wars.

So we're not counting the Civil War, the Spanish-American war, or Desert Storm? And we're not counting the wars that started before the various parties even existed? Also, the Democratic party didn't really start any wars. Most (if not all) of the wars the U.S. has been engaged in under Democrats were the U.S. joining a war, not starting it. Starting wars is a Republican thing. And how "often" have Republicans inherited wars? Like...once?
