90% of the people fed themselves

What happened to the other 10%?

Duh, they were eaten by the 90%.

Left wing economics gave us a $20 trillion debt. Success!...Post of the thread? Not.

Reagan, Big Bush, and Little Bush did almost all the damage to the national debt. How do you feel about the giant tax cut for the rich enacted by Republicans right after Little Bush was "elected," before 9/11? That destroyed the Clinton surpluses. You have said you're for it (because it saves you money, and because it creates an entrenched increasing deficit that even Obama can't beat, so that you can claim that a lot of the debt has happened on his watch).

The tax cut was 1/2 of the projected surplus. When government TAKES too much, why shouldn't it return the excess money to those it TOOK it from?

I don't know why I respond to your misinformation.

The government borrowed it from lenders. Clinton had the government paying back the lenders, but the Republican Congress stole the surplus and gave it to their rich campaign contributors...who were NOT the ones it had been taken from as you claim...they were the ones who had most benefited, free, from the debt to the lenders...so they were the ones who had TAKEN it, not been taken FROM. So rich Republicans benefited twice.

This was right wing theft, not left wing economics.

Left wing economics gave us a $20 trillion debt. Success!

When the top 1% pays 68% of the taxes, they are going to get 68% of the refunds. Duh.

It's not that hard to fathom that the government shouldn't TAKE more than it needs.

 

[jlprk]

Government "needed" to repay its loans, much more than it "needed" to give gifts to the rich. Democrats tried to repay the loans made by the Reagan and Big Bush giant deficits, but were stopped by Republicans. Now you post that the deficit exists because of Democrats.

 

[Denny Crane]

It repaid the loans, fully. The only T Bills they couldn't pay off were owned by Social Security and it's mandated by law that SS surplus funds must be invested in T Bills, the safest investment possible.
