    So, you want to count Bush's final budget year as Obama's first. I guess Clinton's last budget surplus year was Bush's as well.

    And that spending is still going on and you blame it on Obama!

    He wants to pay for them with taxes instead of borrowing money from China.

    Another lie. There is plenty of accountability. You can't give me one example of what you say, as usual.

    Listen to yourself. You are filled with hatred for Obama and have been since day one. It's all you talk about. I make lists weekly of all the things you've gotten wrong about Obama and you ignore them all. Your ignorance is your own fault.

    No Hoss. Try to follow. Bush proposed and enacted a budget with a then record 400 plus billion dollar deficit. Obama added another 900 billion plus dollars to it. I say hold the dude responsible who signed the freaking papers. Bush signed 400 billion in overspending. Terrible! Obama signed for 900 billion more on top of Bush's 400 billion. Worse than Terrible!

    And my statement is roughly accurate the largest deficit approved by Bush was roughly a third of the Budget deficit attributable to Obama.

    It is patently dishonest to say Bush is responsible for a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit when Obama signed off on .9 trillion of the spending.

    And he continued the wars, and extended the economic policies he says are responsible for the recession. How is this better than Bush in any manner?

    There was a lot of Post 9/11 spending that had nothing to do with the wars. Iraq turned out to be a boondoggle but it's still being prosecuted 30 months into Obama's gig.

    He wants to pay for them with taxes instead of borrowing money from China.

    He wants to increase taxes on businesses so he can administer his social justice ideas.

    Another lie. There is plenty of accountability. You can't give me one example of what you say, as usual.

    The trillion dollar stimulus is a good example.

    I don't hate Obama. I hate what he's doing to this country while intelligent, educated people are content to let it happen because they are still pissed at the last administration.

    it's closer to tripling than it is to .16%. The increase is 11.4% not .16%
