Fiscal conservatives flip their shit in 3... 2...

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. Bush's spending did not help us. Obama's spending could be debated, but I think it has helped us.

Helped us in what way? I don't get it? Our unemployment is more than it ever was pre-bush, we have no budget and our spending far exceeds the amount of return.

This is a recipe for disaster. We may not see the recourse until a few years after his second term, but I suspect we will see a big one.

Bush spent money on a war..oboma was to be able to "save" money by ending that war..instead he blew past all record spending...dude..20T..just unreal..and what kills me is that people still give the fool a pass..

Yeah that's what gets me. If we stopped at Afganistan; Bush would have come out like a champ. Instead Bush wanted some type of revenge and wanted the head of Sadaam. But even with the 6+ years of war; Obama trumped Bush's entire adminstration with over the top spending; without WAR! FUCKING INSANE MAN!

I don't see how you can argue that Bush's spending was somehow bad and Obama's is somehow good.

Bush inherited about $2T in revenues and $1.75T in spending ($250B surplus). By the time he was done, there was about $2.5T in revenues and $3T in spending. So the spending increased by $1.25T a year; both wars and increased defense spending cost about $300B of that $1.25T, leaving over $900B in spending on the exact kind of crap Obama's spending on. Republicans passed the biggest spending bill in history prior to Obama - a HIGHWAY (INFRASTRUCTURE) bill. $300B in increased spending on Medicare drug program. Spending on everything but the wars and defense went up by 75% or so.

Man you sound like Maris! Here I thought the Bush administration was what not to do. I mean Osama Bin Laden basically won. He completely forced us to give up so many civil liberties for "safety" against terrorism. We racked up massive debt for the military, and our country is not safer than it was before 9-11.

You mean all those civil liberties that magically reappeared after The Messiah was elected? George Bush never wanted to limit the Second Amendment.

As for being safer, the evidence shows we're significantly safer today than we were on Sept 11th.

I'm sorry there is no Messiah. But If you are referring to Obama, then yes, he has been as big of an asshole on some issues!

It's eerie.
