BTW, the fact is, Obama inherited a deficit. You can't fucking blame him for the government being broke. That would be an ignorant reading of the situation (although I'm not surprised if that's what you end up posting).
What has he done so far? The stimulus. That's it. It cost, give or take, 780 billion. We'll round it up and call it a trillion.
That leaves us with over 11 trillion in debt, the vast majority of it created by two "conservative" presidents - George Bush II and Ronald Reagan.
Is it not relevant then to examine their policies? Like massive tax cuts without spending cuts? Shoveling yet more money into the arms of military contractors to build weapons we'll never use? Zero investment in public infrastructure?
It's not an obsession with Bush personally, I couldn't give a crap about him. What I'm asking is whether conservative policies produce surplus, or debt.
Ask yourself this, what policy have the Republicans proposed that is different from the past 30 years? I'd love for one of you to answer that, but you can't.
