Putin: US is economic parasite on the global economy

I love how the current Republicans are so much anti-Obama that they completely forgot everything that happened before Obama got into office.

We had a SURPLUS when Clinton left. A FUCKING SURPLUS. Then from 2001 to 2008 the Republicans did everything in their power to massively grow government and triple the national debt. Why the hell weren't they clamoring for cuts back then to increase our way to a debt free nation? Why the hell was the first thing they did was to lower revenue and kill any chance we had at ridding the nation of this debt?

A completely pointless war.
A massive reduction in our personal rights.
A completely unnecessary and pointless tax cut that primarily helped the rich and the corporations.

Then when the economy collapsed due to many other conditions, Bush and the republicans started the windfall of payouts. They were already penned and ready to be cashed BEFORE Obama came into office. He only continued them as all the economists as well as people on both sides of the isle kept saying it was the right choice. Well, history hasn't said y or n on that one yet.

Now, all you guys scream is how its all Obama's fault. He was given the biggest shit position possible in the last, I am not even sure how many presidencies, yet its his fault?!

All I've seen since he came into office is a massive increase in Republican partisanship, extremism, and hatred. This last debt debacle proves this perfectly as Obama has continuously tried to be flexible and back of his original desires to make Republicans happy. Yet, even when they produced a one-sided argument it didn't pass their own extremist group.

I'm agree we need some big cuts and reform. However, the reforms needed will never pass the rich-protecting Republicans. On top of that we must remove the idiotic cuts from 2000 to greatly increase our revenue.

I don't see how you can claim it won't help, when it was giving us a surplus in 2000. Times have changed and republicans have massively grown the government. However, those increased revenues will also even that out.

I bet you still think Obama was born in Kenya and a secret Muslim, huh?
