I'll be glad to explain it to you. I seriously doubt you'll understand, though.
During the campaign season, candidates spoke often about the bad effects of the record Bush deficit. Both McCain and Obama were making statements about how they wanted to lower that deficit.
Then, all of a sudden, the economy plunged through the floor, due to Bush's deregulation of Wall St.
Overnight, the economic situation changed.
Obama is dealing with that new reality, where government spending is going to revive the economy in place of business and consumer spending. The difference in Obama's spending is that he's actually going to be buying things with government money: bridges, highways, water and sewer systems, that kind of thing. Bush's spending was especially damaging because he didn't buy anything with it. No airports, no schools, no nothing. Just "tax cuts" for billionaires, paid for with loans from Communist China. Very patriotic.
You're welcome!
Show me a liberal and I'll show you someone who doesn't know their history. It was called the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000.
157 Democrats and 133 Republicans voted for the appropriations bill. 51 Republicans and 9 Democrats opposed the appropriations bill vote results in the house. The Senate version passed by "Unanimous Consent." President Clinton signed it into Public Law (106-554) on December 21, 2000.
"Bush's spending was especially damaging because he didn't buy anything with it. No airports, no schools, no nothing."
Air travel is expected to decline in the future due to increasing fuel costs. How much more money should we "invest" in airports? Federal spending on education increased by 50% during GWB's presidency. How much more money should we throw at a failed system?

And yet funny enough, most University history professors call themselves liberal-centrists. You sure you don't mean show you a liberal and you'll show us a someone who doesn't agree with your version of history?

So now your disagreeing that Clinton signed the law, not Bush?

Wow it seems in every thread we're in, you insert words that I never even uttered, topics I never even touched on, into my mouth. Are you a creative arts major or do you just suck at reading comprehension?

Then tell me what part of momonkeys' posting you were disagreeing with, because all it listed was facts, a matter of law, and you then got on and said that their version of history was incorrect. What part of their posting was wrong?
I thought you might have had a complex question. I guess we are investing in our country as we should to fix the aging infrastructure in this country among other things. Yes, I know you Repugs hate America so much you can not see beyond your nose the benefits we will reap. You can also thank Bush too... You know the old saying it takes money to make money holds true.
I take issue with Repugs hating America. I love America!!! It is one thing to fix something like you say infrastructure and it is another to spend way beyond what we can ever pay. I don't know about you but I pay taxes and all this money is coming out of taxpayers pockets, beleive it it will not be just your grandchildren but every tax paying American. Even the ones that hate America like you claim. You Dems now have every special interest program you've ever dream of. I guess us hateful Repugs got to pay for it too.

I wasn't disagreeing with their version of history. I was disagreeing with the sweeping statement that all liberals are unaware of history. Not only is it insulting but it is also grossly incorrect.
You also answered my original question about creative arts major or reading comprehension, apparently.

All one has to do is read these forums and see that its totally correct.

And of course, if I disagree with you on that, I'm sure you'll somehow morph my words into me saying I want to download kiddie porn and, in your sweeping statements attitude, therefore all liberals are kiddie porn offenders.
Pleae back that up with facts. What did Bush do to deregulate Wall-Street?
Thses things have been presented to you repeatedly by multiple posters on these forums. Anything contradicting your partisan fantasy is something you brand as "liberal lies." You're immune to information.
Willful ignorance is becoming the new rightwing virtue.

What bills, laws, were passed? I'm waiting for facts, not some liberal lies.
