Right.

And the CBO isn't political, right?

I mean, when the CBO numbers match the propaganda you want to believe, they're not political, right?

OK, now I get it. You can use CBO numbers, but I can't.:roll:

They're going to start telling us, most piously, that Factcheck.org isn't political, either.

Right.

Hey you two McGeniuses with the reading comprehension disabilities... I was saying that the CBO numbers are only usable by people like you when they agree with your argument. I used sarcasm to get the point across but apparently only USA-1 got it. :roll:
 
Then how did the deficit increase?
By cutting taxes, spending and wars. All unpaid for, ergo, deficit. Are you seriously unaware of what your party did during those 8 years?

Oh and 9/11/01 and Katrina had nothing to do with it?

Oh yeah, and Bush allowed 9/11 to happen and then increased the size of government by creating a bunch of government bureaucracies to sink money into then he went on to ignore Katrina for a few days before promising money that he failed to get appropriated. :2wave:

Could you make your sig bigger, my granny still can't read it. Oh, hot pink text works better too.

Outside of the fact that cutting taxes increased revenues, your argument that cutting taxes caused the deficit was wonderful. How's about you fix that mistake of yours?
 
Explain EXACTLy what Bush could have done to prevent it, explain all ramifications of your suggestion.
"Five days before Sept. 11, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice was warned that a terrorist attack inside the United States was imminent, a former U.S. senator who headed up a blue-ribbon commission on terrorism revealed late Tuesday."

Simple. He could have tightened airport security before 9/11 just like he did after 9/11. They were warned.

Sure, cutting taxes, in some cases provides a short term economic benefit but a long term reduction in government revenue. :2wave:
 
I love it when ignorant people say this.

Sorry, I don't debate with people on the undebatable list and it looks like you're right near the top.

Besides, I'm sure I can find all your nonanswers in some other thread on that actual topic.

Boy you sure have been drinking the left wing whacko koolaid........

You could redeem yourself by refuting my post with some evidence or we all just shake our heads and say "bless his heart".

Sure, cutting taxes cause permanent revenue increases, since it causes expansion in the economy.

That other things, like retarded government expansions, goof-ball regulations, and socialism in general spend money faster than it's coming in and cause economic contractions is what leads to long term loss of government revenue.

Why people insist that the thing that's growing the economy and increasing government revenue is the thing causing revenue to shrink is an interesting example of what the psychologists call cranial rectitis.

That's because there's nothing to debate.

Anyone claiming that Bush could have done something to prevent 9-11 but refuses to specify is merely exercising his hot air generator. You have nothing to debate because you have nothing to say.

What could have prevented 9-11 is if someone had taped Madeline Albright's mouth shut when the missile launch was ordered so the dumb broad couldn't warn Pakistan, and thus bin Laden, that loud visitors were coming.

Killing bin Laden.

That would have stopped 9-11.

Not much else would have.

that's nice.

So the Bush Administration was warned that SOMEWHERE in the United States SOME terrorists were going to do something naughty, SOMEHOW.

Explain how Bush could respond effectively to something a clearly stated as that.

Explain how your Messiah could have fixed it, too.

I think I've heard of that before. Are the symptoms overwhelmed sense of smell, muffled speech and difficulty hearing?

You'll have to ask a socialist. The visible symptoms are a really awkward posture and a funny gait.
