The link I provide clearly documents how the Shrub's policies contributed to the trillion dollar debt Obama INHERITED. Or are you going to take another toke on your crack pipe and say that Obama inherited a balanced budget?
$1.2 trillion of $1.4 trillion deficit was already projected before Bush left office. The CBO projected on January 7, 2009, that, including spending authorized under the Bush administration for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the deficit would total $1.2 trillion. According to the CBO, the actual FY 2009 deficit was $1.4 trillion.
And it was I that challenged YOU to provide ONE instance of a procedure that the DEMS used to pass healthcare reform that the GOP did not use in the pass. To date, you haven't met the challenge.
You're just a poor liar in denial, Southie...which makes you all the more pathetic neocon parrot.
Libbie, those programs were championed by your beloved Democrat Party. Again you failed to equate any policies that the GOP rammed through under Bush with this new trillion dollar entitlement that the Democrats alone voted for.
Okay, one more time for the cheapseats:
Republicans controlled the Senate for the forementioned, Southie. The 1995 Balanced Budget Act was passed in reconciliation. The final vote was 52 to 47. The 2001 Bush Tax Cut was passed in reconciliation. The final vote was 58 to 33. The 2003 Bush Tax Cut was passed in reconciliation. The final vote was 50 to 50, with Dick Cheney casting the tie-breaking vote. The 2005 Deficit Reduction Act was also passed in reconciliation with a 50 to 50 vote and a Cheney intervention. The 2006 Tax Relief Extensions Act was passed in reconciliation. The final vote was 54 to 44. All with GOP controlled Senate.
So for you to say/imply/assert/allude to/insinuate/allege that the Dems have used tactics to pass healthcare reform that the GOP hasn't used is WRONG.
Now, in order to save face, you say, "well, the GOP didn't do it for entitlement programs.
Wrong again:
