Just another little tidbit! Bush inherited a recession from Clinton then faced three more serious economic problems! The worst hurricane in history, Katrina! 9-11 that nearly destroyed our economic system. Two wars that were necessary to get Saddam Hussein out of power who had killed hundreds of thousands of his own people and then invaded two of his neighboring countries and used poison gas on both his own people and Iranians! Liberals then said he didn't have any WMD's but yet HE USED THEM! How can he use WMD's if he didn't have any? Weird!

The facts are there... but you don't know how to use them. It is true that deficits increased as you laid out. But that is only half the story. ALL tax and spending bills must come from the House. Reagan agreed to tax increases - when he was promised spending cuts at a rate of $3 for each $1 of tax increase. As Gomer would say... surprise, surprise, just more Democrat lies.

GWB did spend too much... and it is why he lost the support of most Republicans.

Don't act like Obama knows how to budget... not even Democrats in the House would vote for any of the ones he has submitted. House budgets are stymied with Dirty Harry not allowing them to ever come to a vote.

Your numbers are smoke and mirrors... just another way to prevaricate.

Tell me how you came up with those Facts you are way off base. Are you saying that the Bush Tax cuts a cost of 1.2 trillion unpaid for the Iraq war 1.4 trillion unpaid Afgan war 1.2 trillion and still counting unpaid for,Medicare part C pharmaceutical bill 480 billion unpaid for. Collapse of housing industry to big to fail. TARP 480 million. Unemployment at. 7.9 % and 1st 2 months of Obama we 750,000 jobs Jan 2009 800,000 jobs Feb 2009. You have no idea how much revenue to the federal government was lost with that kind of unemployment. Corporate Tax cuts it's amazing how much money was wasted under Bush Channey and you blame that on Obama. Yes we had control of the house but who had the Presidency and the Senate. Nothing could be done to stop Bush and his steam rolling of waste

You guys are just 100% in denial. You just cannot look at facts

Are you looking at a mirror? As with too many Progressives, you will not take responsibility for any results. Everything is someone else's fault and for you it always is Bush.

By the end of his second term, Bush was not well regarded by many in the GOP for his allowing the Dems who took over Congress in 2006 run roughshod over him. But Obama has just doubled down on what you wish to blame on Bush. He has done little to turn around the problems he "inherited".

It is funny that TARP is included. I remember how that all unfolded, and find it funny that everyone wants to lay that one at Bush's feet. If you choose to recall history.... the problem reached its public awareness point 6 weeks before the 2008 election. McCain announced he was stopping his campaign to return to Washington, DC for a few days to work with Congress and the Executive branches to find a remedy. Obama did not announce anything but did go back to DC. They held a grand joint meeting out of which TARP was born. What no one seems to recall is that the Democrat leadership (Reid and Pelosi) stepped aside to allow Obama to take charge of the meeting. Word was that he utterly failed to lead the meeting well... but I digress.

So, TARP is a joint Executive/Congressional program that resulted from a meeting led by Barrack Obama. But since Bush still held the President's seat, you place ALL of the blame on him?

Come on funguy how can anything get done the republicans have filibustered 500 bills in the senate. The house controlled by by republicans refuse to even bring it up for a vote. The biggest filibuster is the American jobs act and the highway bill. So stop your nonsense and your insults. Very easy stuff to verify. Give it a shot you might get to the truth.

John C. Hyland

What happened to the 45 bills that PASSED the House and were sent to the Senate and died in Reid's tiny hands!
Many were to help the economy and many for getting jobs going!
But not dice by Reid! Is he the biggest idiot ever?
Seems so!

Ya those were to repel the ACA and that's not going to happen the ACA is working great. I am talking about bills like the American Jobs act and the highway bill . These two bills were scored by the CBO to put an additional 2.5 million people back to work and actually add revenue to the Fed . Look between Boehner and Reid both suck the games they are playing are hurting real people. All these crazy conspiracy theories are just trumped up by By Fox.

Tyster

Actually over half of the bills were job related measures and not related to the ACA. Reid doesn't like the bills so he refuses to even bring them to the floor for discussion. That would lead to having to compromise with the House... and while Reid and Obama say they want to work with Republicans, it is only when they can have their way. At least the GOP is attempting to bring things up to debate... it is the Democrats that are being obstructionists.

Airforceone

I disagree they classified as job creation but if you read the CBO scoring they actually eliminate jobs. And most of those bills had amendments to destroy the ACA disguised as job creation . Have you ever read any of those bills. But I do agree we have a republican lead house and democrat lead Senate. So Reid and Boehner refuse to bring these bills to the floor of Congress. Why don 't those. 2 morons just put it on the floor for an up and down vote. But they don 't because these politicians do not want to go on record as to there vote. The two that really disturb me are the highway bill, and American jobs Act which address bipartisan views, CBO scoring that it will creat 2.5 million jobs, create large revenues to the Fed, bring untold number of manufacturing jobs back to this country thru Obama created Tax incentives.

It actually goes beyond representatives/senators not wanting to take a position. If one house passes the bill and then the other one votes it down, it is supposed to go to a conference negotiation to work out differences and produce a bill both can approve of. If one house refuses to bring it to the floor then it just lingers.

funguy1949

It's called checks and balances by both party's an if a bill is refused,it doesn't linger there it just dies,politicans want just too much red tape added on to all,mostly goverment potbilly spending,in the begging demwits had both house and senate for 2 years and not a things was done or passed except for BS bills and then they truned everything back& lied about the bush& reagon administrations for there own failure to come up with a good sound fix.lets face facts liberals are not good leaders point blank.They are just too brainwashed/braindead to see truth for there own good of things.

Yes you are right about a conference but the house and the senate have to vote for the conference. And I believe they don 't like doing that, if there is a wide gap between left and right. But correct me if I am wrong whatever comes out of the conference has to be excepted. That's why they don't use it. It's the same thing with unions with a no strike Claus with mandatory arbitration. I love the theory around the conference I think any bill that comes out of committee and is passed by one and not the other should be mandatory Conference. I hate it when all that work all that time and one branch shuts it down. Would a conference also help politically if a senator comes from a certain district that he know's there people will not like it he can vote no he is off the hook.
