The Bush Presidency
A week or two ago, patteeu and I were rehashing some of the accomplishments and disasters of the Bush administration.
It's been four years since the guy was in office, and seemingly a year or two since I'd had an in-depth conversation about his Presidency. This was a week or so after I offered my extensive list of accomplishments of first-term Obama, and I know I'm not exactly the audience Bush was playing to, but if you had to carve out a list of things Bush had done over two terms, it is truly striking exactly how shitty his Presidency was.

Why do I get the feeling that every Democratic President from now until the end of time eternal is going to blame George Bush for something?

The federal deficit was just over 5 trillion in 2000.
It's not like Bush started with a clean slate. |

Deficit grew 6 trillion under Obama.
That is more than during Bush's term. |

You gotta understand the difference, man. And how that is somehow a defense of the Bush administration... is beyond me. |

The deficit is something else, Dave. It is our year-to-year balance sheet. |

What is the difference between the debt and the deficit?
The deficit is the fiscal year difference between what the United States Government (Government) takes in from taxes and other revenues, called receipts, and the amount of money the Government spends, called outlays. The items included in the deficit are considered either on-budget or off-budget. You can think of the total debt as accumulated deficits plus accumulated off-budget surpluses. The on-budget deficits require the U.S. Treasury to borrow money to raise cash needed to keep the Government operating. We borrow the money by selling securities like Treasury bills, notes, bonds and savings bonds to the public. The Treasury securities issued to the public and to the Government Trust Funds (Intragovernmental Holdings) then become part of the total debt. For information about the deficit, visit the Financial Management Service web site to view the Monthly Treasury Statement of Receipts and Outlays of the United States Government (MTS). http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/r...publicdebt.htm

No it's because most liberals think like children.

Yeah that doesn't prove your point. It shows a 3.5 trillion growth under obama in 2 years vs. 5 under bush Although your right that the debt is acquired more under Obama than Bush, here's a better chart showing up to 6-12 http://www.skymachines.com/US-Nation...ental-Term.htm |
