It"s the big read “Reagonmics” debt bomb that Obama, and many others are trying to defuse, but Boehner et al fight every effort. (Okay, TARP was signed by “W”, but, oh, never mind!)
Man, how far are you going back? No, it was Kennedyanomics, or how about Rooseveltanamics. I guess we forgot Clinton had a surplus; probably from Reganomics.
By the end of his full four year term President Obama will have personally added more to the national debt than all the previous presidents combined. (that includes Bush). He has more than doubled the national debt and that does not yet include ObamaCare.
Its a known fact that when Clinton left the office, we had a budget SURPLUS, We still had debt but through a combination of spending cuts and tax increases, we were on the way to fiscal solvency, then bush was “elected”. Now if you had bothered to read my post (I know, expecting a CONservative to read is asking alot) my post was less about clintons budget and more to do with CONservative hypocrisy. When you mention the surplus of the Clinton Adminastration, they thank Gingrich and the house, but you blame the debt for that time on clinton. So which is it? Also, does that mean the collapse of ’08 can be laid exclusivly at the feat of bush?
I would like to see two major expenses taken off the ‘balance the budget’ table: Defense and Obama-care. Let the House Districts that vote to continue funding PAY for the funding directly. Let each district decide how to PAY for their National Priority. If the District doesn’t come up with the money, the Representative can’t vote in congress. Also, the program has to decide the order that funds are dispersed- short on money, then something suffers. NO MORE BORROWING.
