Pelosi blames Bush for $9 trillion in debt added under Obama
The Washington Examiner ^ | 1/13/2017 | AL WEAVER

Posted on 01/13/2017 6:33:04 PM PST by Beave Meister

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blamed former President George W. Bush and the Republicans on Friday for the more than $9 trillion that has been added to the national debt under President Obama's watch.

Pelosi argued that under Obama, the annual budget deficit, which contributes to the national debt, has been reduced dramatically, and said that without Obama's work, the national debt would be even higher. She also mostly blamed Bush for not paying for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"When President Obama stood on the steps on the Capitol eight years from next week, the [budget] deficit was $1.4 trillion — one year deficit," she said. "It's reduced by 70 percent in his administration. Much of the increase in the national debt that has occurred from this time still springs from two unpaid-for wars, cost that we owe our veterans following that, giveaways that they gave to the pharmaceutical industry, and the high-end tax cuts that have carried forward without any job production. Absent the work of President Obama, this national debt would be even higher."

Pelosi noted the work done by former President Bill Clinton to balance the budget or leave a surplus.

I believe all that TARP money Bush spent had been paid back within a year...with interest. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Now Obama, he was trying to put out the fire by throwing gasoline on it. He increased our National Debt by $10 Trillion. That's spelled T-r-i-l-l-i-o-n with a "T".....that's a lot of zero's folks.

Hey Pelosi, talk is cheap especially when it comes from an airhead.

Not only was it paid back, it was charged to Bush as deficit spending, and it was credited to Obama as income. It means that Obama's debt is actually a $ trillion MORE than the actual debt increase.

This from a shrill harridan who thinks you have to “pay” for tax cuts. Anything and everything out of her mouth about the economy should be disregarded out of hand. She probably couldn’t even balance a simple checkbook.

Any member of Congress, Senate or Administration who was in Washington over the last 20 years is to blame for the debt. Let’s not point fingers; both sides of the aisle have been on a drunken spree.

All that Botox must have reached her brain...as small as it is.
She’s suffering from the chronic mental disease known as liberalism.
In other words, she’s nuttier than a fruitcake.

This is the same psychotic who famously proclaimed that unemployment stimulates the economy.

She does not live on our planet.

Of course she would.

Might as well get on that bandwagon and plant the idea in other’s heads now so when history reveals obama to be the absolute worst president ever, they have something to fall back on.

Outrageous.

...but then again, George W loves to yuck it up with these people just the same. If it doesn’t bother him, why should I defend him?
