So the disparity of revenue to spending has caused the debt to spiral to 16 T. The problem has to do with both guns and butter, as well as congress and the president(s) not working together and, instead, exploiting the problem for political gain.<br />We are, undoubtedly, suffering from Bush's policies. But we are also suffering from a stimulus spending bill from Obama thats necessity is questionable, and a President who is anxious to spend more if congress would let him.<br /><br />K C Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-3552108512188962162012-09-22T11:40:03.734-05:002012-09-22T11:40:03.734-05:00Based on a large number of these posts I'm ass...Based on a large number of these posts I'm assuming most of these people don't understand calculus, dynamics, and in some cases simple patterns.

Comment moderation is not about "censorship"; it's about eliminating spam and comments that are threatening, nonsensical, crude, etc.<br /><br />If you read this blog in a serious way, you will see there are plenty of comments that take a contrary view to mine. Anyone who adheres to simple matters of courtesy gets his comments published.<br /><br />Most comments here are moderated and posted very soon after they are submitted; it took awhile on yours because, like most folks, I have other matters besides my blog to attend to. I was offline most of the afternoon, but your comment went up as soon as I saw it.<br /><br />For the record, I've been quite critical of Obama, especially on justice issues, and I've even stated that I do not intend to vote for him (or anyone else for president) in November. If you think I am in the business of protecting Obama, you must not read this blog very closely. (I am considering a protest vote for former AL Gov. Don Siegelman for president; unless someone like Alan Grayson enters the race, I don't see my vote going to anyone other than Siegelman as a protest.)legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-64542553494676847122012-06-15T14:06:53.046-05:002012-06-15T14:06:53.046-05:00Just read that "comment moderation has been e...Just read that "comment moderation has been enabled and that all comments must be approved by the blog author".

Your numbers do not take into account that most of his bullshit attempts at government control and overspending have been blocked in the last 2 years by Congress. If all of the spending that he proposed had passed (not counting the overwhelming amount of crap he did by Executive Order) I guarantee he would outspend any other president in history (except maybe Carter but I'll let you libs keep that embarassment to yourselves). Intent is what matters....and his intent is to spend this economy into the dirt deeper than it already is. Lastly, for the record, George Bush may have been a Republican, but he was not a Conservative. The majority of Conservatives think he was almost as liberal as Obama, and that government power grew way too much during his term. So your argument of "Bush did it too" or "Bush did it worse" make no sense. But I'll be sure not to vote for Bush in November...thanks for the advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-52429556023945059882012-06-05T19:51:44.249-05:002012-06-05T19:51:44.249-05:00Conservative == never admit you are wrong.Conservative == never admit you are wrong.Doogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-11435936780852031542012-05-25T12:07:13.974-05:002012-05-25T12:07:13.974-05:00Bush spent way too much money...an average of 2 bi...Bush spent way too much money...an average of 2 billion a day.
