Kootr;

Step away from the crack pipe and after you become lucid lets discuss big government, Ronald Reagan, HW Bush, W Bush 80% of the national debt these guys gave us with NOTHING to show for their borrow, borrow, borrow, and spend, spend, spend and spend some more all the while cutting taxes for their rich industralist corporate class buddies.

After you get help with your substance abuse issues get back to me, it is apparent you are high on something or in complete history rewrite, revision mode.

Obama's Spending Creates a... Debt Nation

What do you mean over.. it has been in place for a long time now. Bush and Obama are just expanding it.
You only notice it more when the economy tanks.

Isn't it funny how the Obama supporters have no clue what is meant by "big government"! Obama's addition to the deficit will triple what the previous administration's deficit was. We just went from manageable to absolutely ridiculously unmanageable! They'll find out when their lifestyles are even lousier under Obama as time goes by...and it's probably pretty lousy already.

hahaha, the BIG SCREWUP by Dubya has brought about the need for a BIG MOBILIZATION in order to keep America from driving itself off the cliff economically. Watch what is happening with the rest of the world today as well. Look at Japan! Their industrial output was reduced by 10% in ONE MONTH in December! OPEN YOUR EYES to the damage that was inflicted by Dubya's MALFEASANCE for so many years! OPEN YOUR EYES to the lack of fiscal flexibility that is now evident due to MASSIVE BORROWING AND SPENDING IN IRAQ! OPEN YOUR EYES!

Bush oversaw the most massive increase in government spending we'd ever seen, dug us deeper into debt (up to $10 trillion) and Obama, after 39 days is suddenly responsible for it all?

When did they legalize dope back in the States because when I see threads like this, it seems too many CDers are "using" heavily.

Aint it funny to watch the history revionist like Kootr suddenly find Jesus and become financially conservative, blame Obama as they are "born again". It is truly laughable.

How can Obama "bring back" what he inherited?
