The deficit graph every American should see and every Democrat should be ashamed of

The GOP needs to get this out:



The Iraq War is a common Democratic talking point when confronted by those who take issue with Obama's deficit spending. This shuts them up, forever. Until 2008, the overall deficit decreased each year, even with the war raging.

You conveniently left out Afghanistan and the rest of defense spending.

And any other increase in deficit has a lot to do with the Bush recession -- lower tax revenues, among other reasons, increased unemployment payments, etc.

Nothing for Dems to be ashamed of, I'm afraid.

It was not necessary. The graph shows the overall deficit being reduced every single year of the Bush administration....until 2008. That included all spending, as well as the surge in 2006/07.

You want more? Fine:

The entire Iraq war cost $709 billion. That's $140 billion LESS than the wasteful stimulus bill.

After all, aren't the RWNBs trying to say that bush is done, time to blame it all on Obama? The nation hasn't been solvent since President Clinton left office. Much of this is explained here:



Do notice how "recovery measures" bottom out rapidly after 2011. They are intended to be temporary measures. The bush taxcuts (if continued) however.....picture keeps looking worse.....

They certainly do since 2009 was Bush's last FY and Obama is reducing the deficit.

If they continue the bush tax cuts, those projections may hold. If they do the right thing and end them for high incomes, and eventually phase them down for the middle class (as the economy improves) the projections will look very very different. It's all a matter of Congress deciding to be fiscally responsible or not. The current bush tax cut rates are NOT sustainable.

The "out of control spending" is the unfunded Medicare Part D that the republicans passed, without offsets or new revenues to PAY FOR IT adding to the bush deficit.

Hey, don't undelete his censorship of raiding Social Security to pay the debt and then the cost of 9/11.

Isn't it amazing that Obama is worse economically than 9/11? No wonder he's fine with the Victory over infidels mosque
