There must be more progressives than whatever you jerks consider yourselves because they have been the only ones to successfully run this country. Just when things get on the right track, the other guys get in office and screw everything up. See Nixon's, Reagan's and Bush II's records for proof.

Ignorant leftist? Look in the mirror, stupid!

How the hell do you know what the intentions were? Were you there?

What you write is no more accurate than the following: United States Downgrade Provides More Evidence that Lower Taxes Make Fiscal Problems Worse, not Better

Typical lying right wingnut hogwash! Examine the facts closely, and it is clear that the Bush tax cuts are the cause of our economic problem today. Including only Individual Income Taxes and Corporate Income Taxes and excluding Social Security and Retirement Receipts, Excise Taxes and Other Income, the revenue increase over the entire eight years of the Bush administration was a paltry 25.65% - not nearly enough to keep up with inflation and the population increase. Revenue during Clinton's terms increased 103.7% and was over $2 trillion more than it was during the twelve years of GOP presidencies that preceded him. What do you say to that, Mr York?

CORRECTION At the end of 2009, the last Bush budget year, the debt was $11.91 trillion. At the close of business Friday, it was $14.343 trillion. My bad!

Carter gets blamed for Reagan's problems, and Clinton's good fortune was a result of Reagan's policies. How absurd is that! Using your line of thinking, Obama's problems are because of Bush the Second. He inherited Bush's recession and two wars. You right wingnuts love to blame the left for the problems in America while taking credit for the good things. Nothing could be further from the truth. Remember what Hitler’s propagandist Joseph Goebbels said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” After you see that what I have written is factual, not a bunch of BS like you have been getting fed by the right wingnuts, send this to everybody you know who has been Goebbled.

Make that VETO power.

See my reply to arpiem above for the numbers Where did you get your numbers? Mine came from the US Treasury Department where the debt is tracked daily to the penny. If you want to see how badly you have been mislead and how wrong your bloviation is, look at the graph at /zfacts.com/p/1195.html.

Where did you learn that? Follow this: Reagan increased the debt $1.83T; George H W Bush - $1.55T; Clinton - $1.40T; George W Bush - $6.10T; Total - $10.88T. Now, read what you wrote and realize how wrong you are. Check www.treasurydirect.com for the facts.
