5 Reasons Why National Deficit is the Republicans' Fault
Edited on Sat Aug-13-11 09:17 AM by MN TN
GOP has been turning everything around and are using the deficit as an excuse to get rid of government spending when its actually THEIR fault:
1. BUSH'S HUGE TAX CUTS TO WEALTHY AMERICANS
2. BUSH'S IRAQ WAR - very expensive and based on lies, not 9-11. And it was Obama who finally ended that war and who finally caught Bin Laden.
3. WALL STREET BAILOUT - another clear example of corporate welfare.
4. HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT - So not enough people are paying taxes. Where are the jobs promised by the Bush Tax Cuts?!! Then last year the stock market shot up but still no jobs. So "trickle down" economics is just another lie.
5. CORPORATIONS - finding loopholes to get out of paying taxes and sending jobs over seas for cheap labor and environmental exploitation.

The wealthy tax rates were cut by 3% the poor by 5% hardly huge tax cuts by any means. 2. BUSH'S IRAQ WAR - very expensive and based on lies, not 9-11. And it was Obama who finally ended that war and who finally caught Bin Laden.
We still have troops in Iraq.3. WALL STREET BAILOUT - another clear example of corporate welfare.
Yep it was a problem when Bush did it, but it was great when 0bama did it twice.4. HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT - So not enough people are paying taxes. Where are the jobs promised by the Bush Tax Cuts?!! Then last year the stock market shot up but still no jobs. So "trickle down" economics is just another lie.
Where are the jobs, Mr laser like focus promised? You know those shovel ready jobs.5. CORPORATIONS - finding loopholes to get out of paying taxes and sending jobs over seas for cheap labor and environmental exploitation.
You know the dems could have change all that from 2009 through 2011, if it is such a bad thing why didn't they fix it?Now for 1 reason the Deficit is the democrats fault.
The Democrats were in control of spending from 2007 until 2011, during that time period the deficit shot up, unemployment went up, gas prices went up, and on and on.
