Okay Bush is responsible for getting us involved with two wars that we didn't need to get involved with, but like I said it all started with Reagan Bush isn't the only one to blame.

Reagan had nothing to do with Bush's decision to invade Iraq. Reagan did business with Saddam and sent Don Rumsfeld over there to do business.
 
I will always blame Bush.

Just because Bush has been out of office for three years now doesn't mean these economic problems had not started under him. I don't blame him for the current situation... however I blame him for passing down to Obama a plummeting employment rate, a **** economy, a **** budget, a **** tax system, and few options open to solving all of these problems with such a high debt / deficit (wait, that was Bush who turned a surplus into a massive deficit in only 8 years, right? Oh yeah). And with the Republican party being highjacked by the Tea Party, who have in turn made it impossible to negotiate... how can you possibly expect Obama and the congress to solve these problems?

I will always blame Bush.

That's not to say I only blame Bush. It takes more than one to tango in Washington. But being that he was "the decider", the buck stopped with him.

You are clearly on "the other side" of this issue so I don't expect you to understand. But since you asked, and since so many of you have asked in the past, I'll say it one more time for good measure...

I WILL ALWAYS BLAME BUSH

Now, get it through your skull and stop asking.
 
Bush will be remembered similar to Hoover. GWB will be known as the man who drove this country to the brink of economic and moral bankruptcy. The president who sold out the integrity of this country to advance the neo-cons agenda.

I never said he did I said he ran up our national debt 2 trillion dollars, and introduced "Reaganomics" which has obviously been a failure.

We all as a country are paying a price for Reaganomics still today. Reagan was primarily responsible for the destruction of our manufacturing base and the exporting of American manufacturing jobs. Reagans tax cuts for the wealthy cut taxes in half for the wealthiest Americans and raised them on the middle class. The state of the US economy today flows in large part from what Reagan did in the 80's.

I was asking a poster who was not alive at the time

there is no sane reason why any person should have 70% of his next dollar taken by a wasteful bloated federal government so that millions can demand more handouts that they don't pay much, if anything, for

I don't blame Bush.

Rather, I blame all the politicians who pushed for the deregulation that caused the housing bubble, the credit default swaps, the robo-signing mortgage scandal, and the lack of funding to our court system.

cut them some slack, it's only been a couple of years...many blacks and their white apologist buddies are still blaming slavery and that was 160 years ago.

So you support Obama whose solution to some debt is far more debt?
 
Thunder said:
Obama has proposed a debt-reduction plan today. How will that increase the debt?

what about all the debt he has racked up before today? or doesn't that count?

what are you suggesting? The President of the United States can't propose a debt-reduction plan if he has passed legislation that increased the debt?
 
I will blame Bush for lying us into a war with Iraq for as long as these words ring in my ears.

no, I am suggesting you can't excuse the debt he's created simply because he proposes a plan to reduce debt.

excuse? who is excusing it?

the responsible way to deal with the debt one has created, is to find a way to get rid of it in the long-term.

Obama is trying to do this, while Bush just kept applying for a new credit card and Congress said "here ya go..sonny boy!"

He was President for eight years.

Most economists would say about 4 years to undo all that damage.
