Some of W’s spending may have been misguided, but that’s not what cause the financial crisis (which Obama’s spending has indeed deepened and prolonged).

"Some of W’s spending may have been misguided, but that’s not what cause the financial crisis (which Obama’s spending has indeed deepened and prolonged)."

IMHO, 80% of the spending that shouldn't be done was done not by Bush but by representatives those who complain about it a lot elected. Bush stayed afraid that Congress would start to get funny with the money for Iraq and Afghanistan if he pushed back on them too much. Blaming him for what Congress was up to isn't much better the Barry blaming him for the Baawknee Fwank Fannie & Freedie Follies that brought to a crashing close the idiotic policies Carter started and Clinton expanded.

Its not just the marxists spending that has caused the downturn, its their unrelenting assault on capitalism, capitalists, and freedom.

The economy will miraculously recover soon after the stupid socialist bitch from Frisco and her comrades that seized power in 2006 are sent packing in a few weeks (the "economists" will be amazed).

I would sell my gold now, the price is going to go down quick.
