Obama spent more than the First 40 Presidents COMBINED!

Post by Ibanez »

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/72404
In the first 19 months of the Obama administration, the federal debt held by the public increased by $2.5260 trillion, which is more than the cumulative total of the national debt held by the public that was amassed by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan.
Interesting article. Read carefully. :twocents:

Not surprising, given that for 190 years, the dollar was worth 2.5 cents in today's money.

I think the opposite is true actually, seeing as the dollar in 1913 was worth about $20 or $21

It's no biggie. The Fed will just hyper-inflate the monetary system to rid the country of that nasty ol' debt. Screw the middle class.

By the way, the Fed is accountable to whom?

Obama is such a hypcrite. All he did was point the finger at Bush and the Repubs for their spending. Take a look in the mirror Obama, you increased the deficit too

Put the shine down.

The House and the Senate, which were both controlled by Dems back in 2006 came up with all this "spending" you attribute to Bush. The only thing Bush was guilty of, was not vetoing the Dems bullshit.

Fuck. Get a grip.

Sorry, wing, but there is no such thing as a fiscal conservative/republican.

Oh. You thought I was only talking about George W. Bush?

What about George HW Bush? What about Ronald Reagan?

Also, Bush increased the debt by 1.73 trillion in 2001-2005. That's with a Republican President, House, and Senate. That's squandering a surplus that he inherited.

And Obama's spending makes all those other presidents' mistakes look like childs play. Honestly, lubricunt, how can you sit there and justify this crap? :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

That's squandering a surplus that he inherited from Clinton, who inherited it from Reagan and Bush whose expenditures ENDED the cold war, resulting in the largest downsizing of U.S. military in our nation's history and subsequently created the post-cold war budget surplus.

Conks have the blood of this shit economy on their greedy hands and have difficulty admitting it. All major recessions have been started by Conky activity, mostly related to their own personal greed and a penchant for looking the other way at our laws and regulations.

Shame on the Conks.
