No spoending pput us in the hole.The bama soending 1.2 trillion of borrowed moeny in 11 months made it worse afetr oit had actully gone down in 2008.That is why we need to cut spending and live withion a budget.
Great. Sounds good. Where shall we start? Veteran's Affairs? HHS? How about SS?
I know, highways...let's cut off the States first. Let's raise ALL corporate taxes back to 90%, tax dividends back to 50%, and raise ALL taxes back to early 1950's levels. Anyone(FAMILY) making over and adjusted income of $200,000 gets taxed at 91%. $10,000/yr @ 38% through $199,999 @ 89%.
maybe Clinton should have invested some of that surplus into our military and anti-terror operations? would we have prevented 9-11?
The Bush 43 Administration was told explicitly when it took office that the biggest threat to national security was terrorism and Al-Qaeda in particular. Nobody in the administration REALLY took that advice seriously. It was the lack of vigilance by the Bush 43 Administration that lead to the massive intelligence failure which contributed to 9/11/2001.
2006, 2007 and 2008 were the 3 biggest years in history for federal income tax revenue. That's right under George Bush the feds took in more in taxes than any president in history

And yet, when you put all three of them together, they still don't make a positive increase in tax revenue taken in under Bush. Sad really..shows who really bankrupt America. And those who would want to take us back to it.
Bush also BORROWED and put on our "credit card" MORE than ANY PRESIDENT COMBINED IN OUR HISTORY.
It's all a house of cards, but it is one of the only ways to make sure the "elite" and shadow government can not completely take over. It's been tried at least once already against FDR. I'm sure there have been plans and other failed spurts to start. We shall see if it indeed occurs again. I know the elite are restless and concerned about their flailing influence.
You are mistaken. The rulers of America - the usurer / socialist alliance, and all their allies, have ruled America for generations.
Stop and think.
Do free people really need to ask permission (get a license) to wed, drive, fly, transmit, build a house, buy and sell medical care, enter occupations, operate a business, and even own a dog?
Do really free people have to pay a tax to live, work, buy and sell?
They've been taking a skim for generations. And like all arrogant scoundrels, demand our gratitude that they allow us to regrow our skin before they skin us again, and again.
Bush dealt with 9-11, and the economy nicely.
thanks Bill for leaving us a weakened military 7 nat'l defense team
George Bush Jr. had been in office for less than 9 months when 9/11/01 occurred. So in nine months time radically he changed the military to the point where special operators could go into Afghanistan and basically with the help of the Northern Alliance take down the Taliban in less than 90 days. That's just pure bull****. The operational capability that allowed JSOC and CIA special operators was well in place long before George Bush Jr. took office.
If you really believe that crap you are sadly misinformed as the military capabilities of the United States of America. Now if you want to criticize Bill Clinton criticized him for how he used and deployed U.S. military assets but from an operational readiness standpoint they were not in any way lacking in during the Clinton Administration.
If anything the Bush Administration should be held accountable for not giving JSOC and CIA special operators the additional military support they requested it during the Battle of Tora Bora in December 2001 when they had Osama Bin Laden CORNERED. But he was allowed to get away when JSOC and CIA special operators had to depend on Afghans instead of U.S. troops to capture Osama Bin Laden and those Afghans turned on them and refused.
The Bush 43 Administration is accountable for not making the activities of Al-Qaeda a national security priority and the Bush 43 Administration is accountable for botching a chance to capture Osama Bin Laden. They are also responsible for taking their eye off the ball in Afghanistan and allowing the Taliban to reassert themselves when they started a war based on false and misleading intelligence with Iraq. On top of that they totally botched the invasion of Iraq by not having enough boots on the ground to deal with maintaining security after Saddam Hussein was deposed. This was directly accountable for allowing the ensuing Iraqi insurgency to flourish. The U.S. military achieved success in Iraq in spite of George Bush Jr. and one of the biggest ass***** of all time Donald Rumsfeld.

Bush thumpers should be worried? Umm, I've got news for you... G.W. Bush isn't running for office in November. And, you can throw out all the fake stats you want about Obama, but the voters will have their say.

hey, I'm no Rumsfeld fan You make some good points, but you are also blowing a lot of smoke. If you were in the military during the 90's then you know what a drastic change it was during his 8 yrs.
Now, if you want to say that the terrorists could & would have attacked us regardless of our security then ok.
But, you can't say that Bush didn't retailiate. I seem to remember a few occasions (WTC -1993, kobar Towers, USS Cole, etc.) where the U.S. military did not respond to terror attacks. Where was your hero then?
As far as comparing Clinton vs Bush on the economy: well, Bush decided to retailate after 9-11-01. newsflash... that costs money
Obama isn't running for office in November either.
no, but it is his party in power. and his party is on the chopping block
they are already planning a special Apprentice on Nov 3rd.
Donald Trump walks into Nancy Pelosi's office and says... YOU'RE FIRED
