Leftists are too dim to realize the economy did not start to decline until one year after the democrats took control of Congress. And the Obama-democrat depression did not start to ease until about one year after republicans re-took the House.
On a related note, Mel Watt proclaimed today that he will re-institute the pre-depression practices that caused the housing bubble. Consistent with the traditional democrat practice of doing the same thing and expecting different results.
In all fairness a handful of faux-republicans joined the democrats in the housing policies. Think only Johnny Isakson remains among that bunch, however.
Check your facts. There hasn’t been a surplus, in our lifetimes. This nation has had debt since before 1900.
So no, there was no surplus. Clinton did NOT balance the budget. It was accounting, as he did not include the money that was owed to the Social Security fund.
Not to mention, it was Clinton’s closure of military hospitals that has helped cause the chaos in the VA (not just the wars, because most folks have absolutely no idea how military and veteran medicine work.)
And no, Obama did not reverse anything, as the debt has continued to climb at an alarming rate.
And stop blaiming capitalism. We haven’t had real capitalism in over 100 years. (imagine that, the great depression came about when we began to abandon real capitalism)
So if you’r egoing to be honest, you have to blame the anti-capitalism crowd.
Not to mention, it was Clinton’s housing bill and policies that lead to the housing bubble and subsequent crash, NOT the repeal of Glass-Steagall. It was Clinton’s push to increase home ownership, by forcing banks to give loans to people that could not pay the loans back that caused the bubble and the crash when they all began defaulting on those loans.
Not to mention, if you’re going to continue to ignore facts and claim there was a surplus or a balanced budget, give the credit where it is due. The house actually approves the budget (when Clinton “balanced” the budget, it was controlled by the republicans, as it is now). The president only submits a budget to the House, but they can add or subtract where they choose.

Its good to see a comic tell it like it is, too many liberal comics out there ignoring the facts.
