Yes I do. National debt includes entitlement programs the are ever expanding on their own. It's hard to credit or discredit Bush for SS, Medicare, and Medicaid.
"I guess expanding government is fine with you if your side is the one doing it."
I never said that so don't assume it, okay! I asked you if you understodd the national debt and how much of that Bush contributed to. Bush spent about $1.8 trillion in budget deficit in his 8 years. Obama spent $1.4 trillion his first year. Big difference. The last Republican Congress budget was fiscal 2007 which only had a $160 billion dollar deficit and the trend was decreasing.
“Yes I do. National debt includes entitlement programs the are ever expanding on their own. It’s hard to credit or discredit Bush for SS, Medicare, and Medicaid.”
He fought harder for amnesty than SS reform and he EXPANDED Medicare! So, yes.. I can discredit Bush for it.
“Bush spent about $1.8 trillion in budget deficit in his 8 years. Obama spent $1.4 trillion his first year. Big difference. “
Yes, but the defense that “the other guy did the evil thing worse” is a fallacy. A not-small chunk of this year’s deficit is the TARP that Bush signed and Obambi voted for.
