The basic problem is one of the oldest in the books: Democrats are mind swept to TAX and SPEND, PERIOD! As Michael Savage, of the Savage Nation has said, "Liberalism is a mental disease."

and that is why we went from a balanced budget under Clinton to a trillion dollar deficit under Bush.

Got it. Thanks.

Here we go again

in the did not...did to....did not....did to mode of blame who for what and when.

I do believe as was posted earlier that opinions and conclusions are made soley based on the R or D affixed to the individual being discussed as as well as the individual discussing. And unfortunately logic or facts usually have little participation.

I am always amused by those who think they can isolate anything in politics to one person or one party or a given time frame.

It is like being POTUS in the fall and being blamed (or congratulated) for the brown leaves....ditto summer or winter....

Let's see how well Obama is doing in the twilight of his term (year 3 or yrar 7) since the style seems to be to only rag on about the last 12 months of an administration.

What we need is a good old fashioned discussion....NON PARTISAN ONLY....uh-huh!!!

BTK

So everything in the videos are totally glossed over and dismissed as though they never happened.

And what were they doing? Deregulating, Deregulating.

They both make it crystal clear what the score was back then. Bush, Greenspan and the Republicans in congress said over and over we were heading for trouble. The Democrats said no we are not and blocked every effort to investigate and regulate. One even called it a witch hunt. Did no one glean any information from the videos at all?

And then Laker14 leaves out the last piece as though it doesn't even exist either.

And then a 10 trillion dollar deficit under Obama.

So it would seem logical to me that if you like Clinton for the balanced budget, dislike Bush for adding a trillion or so to the debt you must hate Obama for adding trillions and trillions more on top of that...right?

To understand the solution you have to understand the cause and that will tell you who to trust for the fix.

Here the kicker. In last few seconds of the video Bill Clinton HIMSELF blames his own party for resisting efforts to fix Freddie and Fannie by the Republicans. Resist efforts = not one Democrat in congress voted for it. NOT ONE!

Guess what???? Freddie and Fannie failed and here we are today.
