Obama Will Spend "6 Times" As Much On Bailouts As Iraq War
"Removing Saddam Hussein from power was the right decision, and this is a fight America can and must win... For the terrorists, Iraq was supposed to be the place where al Qaeda rallied Arab masses to drive America out. Instead, Iraq has become the place where Arabs joined with Americans to drive al Qaeda out. Critics of the war of can no longer credibly argue that we are losing in Iraq, so now they argue the war costs too much."
President George W. Bush On Victory in Iraq March 19, 2008
Of course, Barack Obama never missed a chance to blast the Bush Administration for spending billions in Iraq.
But, suddenly blowing billions of taxpayer dollars is not an issue.
It took Barack Obama and democrats only three weeks to blow twice as much as was spent on the Iraq War- Approximately 1 trillion versus 500 billion.
Where have all the fiscal loons gone?
And, if the true Generational Theft Act price tag of $3.27 trillion is reached in the next couple of months, that would be 6 times as much as was spent in over 5 years liberating, stabilizing and building a functioning democracy in Iraq.
This is not so much being a “bailout” as it is a “deep-water salvage”.
We are already sunk and cutting more holes in the hull is no remedy.
We are SO screwed.
What a great point. I can’t wait to spring this one on an unsuspecting libtard.
All this additional programs and outright spending on projects will result in a short few years find itself without sufficient funds to continue. Well, back to Washington for another handout. Or even raise taxes.
You are so right. Most people only read headlines (and we know how slanted those are) and they never find buried corrections.
Kiddies go by what their peers say and half of those don’t know what day it is.
Yep, the socialist know how to take over.
(Spoken as the messiah) But you see, when the citizens necks are full of pie, it will dull the jihadi blades.
Obama and the Democrats were against this spending during the campaign and blasted McCain for being for it. Now, the Republicans are against it and Obama and the Democraps are all for it,
Democraps lie every time their lips move...They are good at that and scaring old people, women and children. What happened to exchanging fear for hope? It seems to be the Obama bunch are still using the same old fear tactics.
