National Debt By Nation

July 11th, 2010

Question: People talk about Obama’s “lies” here, but Bush promised not to meddle in markets,…?

…not to get involved in “nation building” wars, and to decrease the national debt by 1/2 in his term.
How did those work out?
Instead he raised it by a factor of 4!
Most of Barry’s budget will never be passed – so don’t throw speculative fantasy statistics at me (which is all I ever see here).

Answer: Hmmm…I could be wrong, but I think all politicians work this way.

I mean come ON! Would you people vote for someone who came out and told you exactly what he was going to do or what he has to do? The American people are like little sheep. Myself included. We look for what we want to hear, even if deep down we KNOW it’s not going to happen. Bush is not the only one to do this. Neither is Obama.

*Edit*
By the way, be careful when you’re talking about the national debt. We give way to much credit (both positive and negative) to the president. We’re forgetting that congress plays the bigger role. Except when the president shoves himself into the responsibility a lot like Obama did. And it’s interesting to see that he’s blown just as much..if not more money then Bush did. We’re not even through the first half of his first term. That’s all I have to say about it. The only thing that gets me is that people treated Bush in such a disgusting matter. I’m not defending the guy, but people took it a bit to far. And now a young, nice looking black president comes along chanting words such as hope and change. Because he is new and fresh, and…black…and because he is not Bush, people cling onto the empty hope and the empty change without any question or criticism. Why is he not as responsible for his actions as Bush was? Why is it suddenly NOT okay to dislike the president now that Bush is out of office? Is it that hard of a concept to think that perhaps America’s little token boy could possible be bad…if not worse then Bush?
