Please respond.

the point being, is that climate change has always been there. it used to be the liberal mantra to say global warming. but when they could not get the masses to go along with them so the masses could get taxed alot on global warming, they changed it to climate change.

the problem is, is that climate change will always be here, and will still be here when the human race has gone the way of the dodo bird.

It just proves you guys are a bunch of racist partisan hacks.
#1 Clinton never had a surplus. Every single fiscal year since 1957 the national debt has increased per the US Treasury. Clinton said that he opposed a balanced budget right after Newt's contract with America won the House for the GOP. Clinton's final fiscal year saw the national debt increase by over 130 Billion. Clinton's Dot-Com stock collapse and his Housing Market bubble cut into federal revenue.

Government - Historical Debt Outstanding – Annual

Bush was awful, so is Obama...stop using Bush is a crutch for Obama being an inadequete president.

#2 Those Tea Party people had been active in the 1990s (helped elect the contract with America), had been mailing Tea Bags to congress members since 2001....yes of course they got more vocal after the US started having Trillion dollar deficits as a new normal.

What is the response from the liberal left folks about this hypocritical statement?
The wealthy descended on DAVOS and Obama is just following orders.
They are calling for $14 trillion in "green" spending.


Davos call for $14trn 'greening' of global economy - Business News - Business - The Independent
Only a sustained and dramatic shift to infrastructure and industrial practices using low-carbon technology can save the world and its economy from devastating global warming, according to a Davos-commissioned alliance led by the former Mexican President, Felipe Calderon, in the most dramatic call so far to fight climate change on business grounds.
..
Mr Calderon is calling on the UK Government and other members of the G20 to unleash a wave of private investment in green infrastructure by giving potential backers of low-carbon projects the confidence and incentives to step up their spending.

If there was no Clinton surplus then why did Bush say this:

Hey debt is a function of math. And math is a science. And we know how much republicans believe in science.

Tell Obama and Gore to stop using their jets if they are really serious about their assumptions of climate change and what they say creates it.... Of course their carbon footprint is so much bigger than us peons.

The Obama's and Al Gores are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites who use global warming and the EPA as a catalyst for their legislation to control us .

I found it quite funny that al gore the global warming fanatic sold his company to al-jezeera, a company that was built on oil.

What are you two years old?

Now you have done a 180 and are now citing Bush as source of wisdom? You are now citing Bush repeating a myth (the same one that you have bought into) over the cold hard factual government numbers: Government - Historical Debt Outstanding – Annual

Look at the official government numbers and tell me what fiscal years saw a true surplus.


P.S. Clinton never had a budget he submitted after the contract with America approved and they were all factually sent in above budget. It was congress that hammered out all of those mythical surpluses.
