Participant[quote=jficquette]Urban,
If you can’t balance your budget then eventually you will go bankrupt.
Since you don’t think a balanced budget matters then any reference to national debt is odd.
Democrats love to spend that money so they can hire more voters. Borrow from the unborn to stuff the ballot box. Gotta love the dems.

Deficit when Chimpy Bush came into office = $5 trillion
Deficit now = $10 trillion
During 6 of the 8 years Chimpy was in office, Republicans also controlled Congress. So Bush and a Republican Congress racked up more debt in 8 years than the total debt racked up by every other Presidential administration in U.S. history. Horrible.
There’s no way Democrats could spend more money because Bush has spent the most in history — and all with the blessings of a Republican Congress.

Participant[quote=jficquette][quote=jpinpb]You neglected to mention the surplus that we had w/Clinton, in contrast to the deficit we have now.[/quote]
The surplus was due to the Republican’s reform of welfare and other items in its contract with America passed in 1994.
Clinton was just along for the ride.[/quote]
No, the surplus Clinton is given credit for was due to the tech bubble. People were day trading stocks like crack and it generated HUGE tax$$$. When it all burst in 2000, it didnt show up till 2001 when we had a new prez. He then latched onto 9/11 as a chance to make a name for himself and get reelected/keep repub’s in power. Fiscal disaplin in the repub’s broke down then in a rush to get reelected and we ended up roughly doubling our national debt. The housing bubble was used/created to limit the pain of the 1990’s stock bubble.
None of the huge increase in the national debt could have happened without the support of the democrats. Why they seem to get a pass on all this is beyond me. I dont care if you are the gettaway driver or the stickup man, both are guilty of robbery.

Actually the republicans only had control of the house for 6 outa 8 years. Democrats had control of the senate for 4 out of the 8, with the defection of Sen Jeffords to the democrats in June of 2001, six months after the 107th congress started. You may hate Bush with as much passion as I do, but please dont make statements that help wash the democrats of their shame. None of this could have happened with them.
And they can most definatly spend more than Bush, there is no ceiling on stupidity and bad managment in gov.Fact Check:
…. Both chambers had a Republican majority until June 6, 2001, after which the Senate had a Democratic majority.October 12, 2008 at 3:38 PM #286717Participant[quote=TheBreeze]
