Until you get it through your head that the R's were simply paving the way to runaway deficits, there is no hope for you. If the R's were in power now, they would be doing the same thing. Agree or disagree?
Reality disagrees with you. Have any PROOF to back up your accusation? Because, I've been posting chart after data to support my position, say like this one, AGAIN:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Deficits_vs._Debt_Increases_-_2009.png
That shows in recent years the deficit didn't skyrocket until 2008, clearly AFTER the Democrats took control of Congress in 2006. Did Bush and the R Congress run a $2 trillion deficit from 2001-2006? No.
Seriously, $500 billion is bad, but $2 TRILLION?! Or, do simple numbers not matter and you're just here to bash Republicans and Bush? Can you not comprehend the magnitude of difference between $500 billion and $2 trillion? Both are bad, one is a lot worse, however. Is it that difficult to see which one is far, far worse? Or do you simply not want to? I guess it is easier to bash Bush and Republicans instead of looking at what the Democrats are actually doing...
As for my initial post, I was simply pointing out the fact that our current insane deficit really took off with the Democrats in charge of the body that approves spending legislation, which is Congress, which the Democrats have controlled since 2006 (also a fact) and when they got their man in office in 2009 (another fact).
I deal with facts and logic. I have posted numerous references backing up my claims. Where are yours? Or will you bring more rhetoric?
