Bush

Sorry about that but he had alot of dirty work to do.

You should thank him for having the Nads to step forward and do the right thing

Clinton did jack squat to balance the budget. The inertia of his supposed balanced budget was set into motion in 1980. He gets credt for stupidly not screwing it up. A monkey could have stumbled through that Presidency and looked good.

Yeah thats why the people that are responsible for attacking us are still at large while Bushs buddies make millions off of the war in Iraq. I suppose I should also thank him for taking our country to the brink of bankruptcy. I should also thank the entire republican party for helping him. He did more wrong to this country than any president in the last century.

Clinton didn't do anything,and it was set in motion in 1980? Then why did we only have a surplus during the Clinton years?Not George H.,Not George W! Still wearing the Republican blinders I see.

Idiot for a president= 9/11! It happened on Bushies watch and he didn't know what the hell to do! That's why he continued to sit there inside that classroom instead of getting off his a--!

I liked how things were doing then as well, and I like the idea of a budget surplus, though I didn't personally notice any goodness as a result.

In fact, my experience says that when the government announces a surplus I'm in for rough times! Surpluses are evil. Sarcasm, but that is my experience. Course, sample size is on the small side.

Do you really believe that talk radio is factual? What does Rush say about what we should be doing about our current economic crisis?

there are TWO problems right now, that is causing 'wall street' to collapse............JOBS and HOUSING...and they go back to BEFORE bush



let this INFORM you, these problems stem from: 1993, 1995, and 1999 and you can thank the liberals for it, and most of it goes back to the clinton era. why because ECONOMICS run in 10(+/-4) year CYCLES and what we are facing NOW is in DIRECT RELATION to what happened back in the 90's

1993 NAFTA-originally pushed by Brezezenki and his puppet carter,,moved along by reagan----negotiated by another brezezenki puppet bush1--- passed in 1993 by the democrat controlled congress, pushed by clinton, signed by clinton-inceased with CAFTA by bush2--the consequence ...... 60+ million HIGH PAYING jobs have been lost, 2 trillion worth of debt from the lost wages.(and obamy wants to increase it too,,,hmmm)

1995 clinton (through his chief of HUD (Henry Cisneros and later his second chief andrew coumo)) eased the rules on obtaining mortgages allowing more 'exotic' mortgages and 'no-doc/low doc' mortgages-----the consequence ......housing SKYROCKETED causing low inventories causing a 'not normal' increase in home prices, sellers got greedy, buyers got even greedier (looking to PROFIT in a skyrocketing market by flipping) and bought THINKING that prices would still increase and their ADJUSTABLE mortgage would pay it self off in MINIMUMAL years...EVEN THOUGH THESE INCREASES IN HOME VALUES WERE TOTALLY UNHEARD OF, AND MORTGAGE RATES WERE AT 40 YEAR LOWS( what did they think an adjustable mortgage gotten at 40 year lows would do in the term(3 months-3years) when it adjusted...of course it would go up, their CONTRACT even said after the term it would be 6% PLUS PRIME)))
For many potential homebuyers, the lack of cash available to accumulate the required downpayment and closing costs is the major impediment to purchasing a home. Other households do not have sufficient available income to to make the monthly payments on mortgages financed at market interest rates for standard loan terms. Financing strategies, fueled by the creativity and resources of the private and public sectors, should address both of these financial barriers to homeownership."
The above is the start of the mortgage meltdon: Clinton's National Homeownership Strategy

1996 clinton signed The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (The Act was claimed to foster competition. Instead, it allowed industry consolidation whose actions reduced the number of major media companies from around 30 in 1993 to 10 in 1996, and reducing the 10 in 1996 to 6 in 2005.) causing MONOPOLIES, which can RAISE PRICES
1998 clinton does not allow drilling for OUR OWN OIL..the liberals say 'it will take ten years before we seee the oil'...guess what its been ten years
1999 Clinton DEREGULATES the banking industry
2000 clinton signs the China trade bill
2000 clinton signs the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000..(which paves the way for ENRON)
2000/1 clinton pushes to get china into the world bank
2003/4/5 republicans try to reighn in fanny and freddie...the liberal opposition leaders (barney frank and cris Dodd) say "there is nothing wrong with fanny/freddy..its a witch hunt"........boy does barney have egg on his face now


for the last 6 years liberals are complaining that Bush is spending 'out of control".....yet in just 1 month they have spend more than bush did in those 6 years
