I think anyone who voted for Bush should pay a $14,750 poll tax. (Clinton, Obama)

According to the Comptroller General of the United States, there are serious financial management problems at the Pentagon, to which Mr. Cooper alluded.
Fiscal Year 1999: $2.3 trillion missing.
Fiscal Year 2000, $1.1 trillion missing.

Hmmmmm.......Eh....Bush wasn't in office at the time.

Thank you Bubba!

Obviously taken out of context. The article covered the fact that Bush and Rumsfeld were going to overhaul and investigate the massive spending of the Pentagon and instead pillaged even more!

The war is a cover for massive embezzlement. Bush lost/embezzled $3 trillion from the Pentagon. Not $3 billion, $3 trillion, that is $3,000 billion, 10 Iraq wars worth or $40,000 per US family. The complicit Bush-friendly media kept mum about the biggest theft in history, though months later the San Francisco Chronicle finally covered some of it. Most people are astounded to learn that Rumsfeld confessed to the “loss” on camera and excused it as an accounting error. Unfortunately all trace of this video has disappeared from the Intenet. I spent hours trying to find a copy. It was available for many months on C-SPAN originally. You really need to see the original video to understand how Rumsfeld squirmed. Part of the problem in tracking this down is that McKinney has repeatedly tackled Rumsfeld on this issue.

Do you actually think that in any way. shape or form you can debunk any facts that state how The Bush Crme Family robbed the USA blind? Give me a break!

Don't THE FACTS YOU POSTED indicate that the $3.4 trillion looting happened under Clinton's watch? Why do you keep turning Clinton's turning a blind eye to massive losses at the pentagon into a Bush thing?

[sickofnyc]

During his eight years in office, Republican President George W. Bush, with the help of Republican majorities in both Houses of Congress (through 2006), was able to spend the budget surplus and all the tax money the government collected. Then after all that money was spent, Bush averaged adding about $1 trillion per year to the national debt during his eight-year tenure.

Did you not read my previous post stating that Bush with the help of Rumsfeld were going to overhaul the system and then proceeded to bankrupt us even further? How can you negate the war profiteering taken to the umpteenth degree that ensued when we were lied into a BS war by Bush&Associates? Find any post where I praise Clinton. I was pissed at Clinton for the ridiculous trde agreements, but Clinton did not raid the Treasury...Bush did!

According to your own facts, Clinton wasted $3.4 trillion on unaccounted for military spending in just two years.

How can you negate the war profiteering taken to the umpteenth degree that ensued when we were lied into a BS war by Bush&Associates?

To date, $915.1 billion dollars have been allocated to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That doesn't even hold a candle to Clinton's missing $3.4 trillion. Furthermore, with Obama in office, why are we STILL spending money on wars in the Middle East?

You do realize that Obama will shatter all those records, right? I've already posted the deficit comparison and Bernanke's and Buffett's warnings about Obama's out-of-control spending.

If you disliked Bush's spending and what that did to the economy, you should really be irate over Obama's unprecedented record-breaking deficit spending.

What surplus? The national debt increased every year. There was no surplus.

If anyone else had sat in the Oval Office for those eight years, it would never have unfolded the way that it did.

For the 1,000th time, there was no "lying us into a war."
