...economic times? Yet, they have a problem when Obama spends at a time when it's essential to our economic survival....during a major downturn?
This alone proves how brainwashed the right wing is. Since their talk radio gods didn't tell them 'deficit spending = bad'.....they didn't think to complain.
Note that a Republican congresss approved 300 BILLION dollar stimulus packages in 2001 and 2002....during a much smaller downturn, not to mention last years 325 BILLION dollar package.....ALL of them were signed by Bush.
Did anyone hear Republican calls for cutting spending then?
"We've been screaming about it for years, calling Republicans who went along with the former President a bunch of weaklings, lapdogs, and turncoats."
Then you went and voted for Bush in 2004.....so what does that make you?
The hypocrisy and lack of reason on the right....with this issue alone....speaks volumes.
"As for running up record deficits during a record economic boom, there is no comparison. How old are you? Were you living the good life before 2006? Were you out buying 52" flat screen HD/Hi Def T.V.s? Were you living in a nice house paying the minimum on your mortgage? Whatever else you say about how the republicans or Bush did on foreign policy, up until 2006, everyone was praising the economy.
btw, what happened in 2006, the beginning of the economic recession? Oh yeah, dummycrats took control of Congress."
I'm old enough to know the economy was better under Clinton. I know wages went up more and there were better jobs being created.
FWIW...I had a 55" Toshiba HDTV (projection) in 1999.....and have owned homes since the mid -1990's. I said homeS, cause I rent them out.
I only buy in cash, and haven't had an ounce of credit since the 1990's.
