Nope its fact. Bush owns the 2009 budget.

No proof, no link, no cigar! Another opinion already proven false. Bush submitted a budget as required, it was REJECTED. What exactly did Obama sign in March of 2009? If it was the Bush budget why did Obama sign it in March?

it is true that texas schools are bad. Must be the no income tax.

Yes, they sure are, they don't promote a massive central gov't and contribute to the violence we see in Chicago. Income taxes don't fund public schools

What we have here is a poster from Chicago where the facts are whatever they want them to be and the official data is irrelevant. The corrupt politicians from Chicago on full display

Obama never signed a budget for 2009. Bush did.

Obama killed terrorists. He killed obl and 30 other al qaeda leaders. Trump on the other hand is views as a giant ***** by the rest of the world. There is a reason why terrorists were afraid of obama but not trump.

It's amazing that anybody can think otherwise. Worst presidential pass-on since the Great Depression.

Of course. And despite that he created one of the greatest recoveries ever and killed the most wanted man in the world.

And Obama ignored it and spent his way to a trillion dollar deficit. Do you seriously believe Obama would stick to Bush's plan? I'm pretty sir Obama's Stimupork was his alone, BTW.

Yes and the same could be the said of the Democrats who are now trying to feign being deficit hawks. Both parties, not unlike the cable driven entertainment news placate to their viewers. The truth is it is the nature of politics and man true be self perpetuating. Government always gets bigger, and congressmen are sent to bring home the pork. To bad so many want to continue to play partisan politics and pretend that only the other party is guilty all while offering more and more spending to their own base.

Its so simple, most politicians are really only concerned with one thing, getting reelected. After that any good you get from them is an extra. Money gets spent in ways designed to get the voting base to reelect.

Buying votes are what the federal bureaucrats do best and they do it by spending IN THE NAME of compassion appealing to the hearts of many who only think with their heart. Most liberals are clueless when it comes to the budget and line items in the budget totally ignoring what taxes they pay and their purpose. FIT and Corporate taxes were created to fund the line items in the budget that Congress created(operating expenses), Payroll Taxes(FICA) were created to fund SS and Medicare which they still do, Excise taxes were created to fund infrastructure such as roads and bridges. Democrats created the unified budget in the late 60's, borrowed trillions from FICA never paying it back now wanting FIT to bail them out. Give a liberal a dollar and they will spend it on programs deemed to buy them votes then come back asking for more when they abuse that dollar.


Liberals will never understand this post

Absolutely! The 2009 budget, along with the worst recession since the Great Depression all belong to Bush. One mess after another lowlighted the Bush presidency.

1. CEO corruption gone amuck.
2. Double digit unemployment.
3. Severely depressed stock market.
4. Bankrupt US auto industry.
5. Bank fraud and mismanagement.
6. Two major wars costing Trillions of dollars.
7. Etc, etc, etc....

Right, when Bush was in the WH he was king, making all the policies and the Democratic Congress was powerless to stop anything, oh, wait, the stopped reform of Freddie and Fannie per Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, OH, Wait, they rejected the Bush budget for 2009 knowing that people like you would blame Bush for the 2009 deficit, oh, wait, the recycled TARP repayments charging all the spending on Bush but never deducting the repayments. Yes, no question about it, it was all Bush's fault as is the lack of education you have on basic civics.

The real problem with people like you is you want to believe what you are told so tell us name for us any President that had 9.3 trillion dollars in deficits on his watch regardless of who you believe spent the money? History doesn't re-write like you want it to but Obama was responsible from Day one after taking office with a Democratic Congress, TARP already approved, only 3 Department budgets approved in the 2009 budget via continuing resolutions, and then his stimulus passing almost day one for shovel ready jobs that still saw employment and tax payers drop 4 million in 2009 and still down 3 million in 2010, yes, I know all Bush's fault. You both are broken records and truly two of the most poorly informed people in this forum along with being two of the most partisan and that is saying something

Bush took a surplus and spent 7 trillion dollars from 2001 to 2009. No president will ever top that.

Dont forget he did nothing during katrina and surrendered to bin laden.
 
I am going to post this one more time but probably have to do it more than once as radicals aren't capable of understanding responses if only given once

Deficits by President

Reagan 1.7 trillion which got added to the debt leaving the debt at 52% of GDP

GHW Bush 1.4 trillion added to the debt

GW Bush 4.9 trillion added to the debt leaving the debt at 70% of GDP

Clinton 1.4 trillion added to the debt leaving the debt at 5.7 trillion on a 10.2 trillion economy or 56% of GDP which makes one wonder who Clinton added 1.4 trillion to the debt with the left claiming he had surpluses??? Hmmmm

Obama 9.3 trillion added to the debt leaving the debt at well over 100% of GDP

Seems that declining deficits adding up to 9.3 trillion in debt only made the worst debt on record look better than it would have been without the declining deficits. Hmmmmm

It's been well established that Obama reduced the deficit year after year, once he got us through the gargantuan Bush mess.

1. CEO corruption gone amuck.
2. Double digit unemployment.
3. Severely depressed stock market.
4. Bankrupt US auto industry.
5. Bank fraud and mismanagement.
6. Two major wars costing Trillions of dollars.
7. Katrina inaction.
8. Etc, etc, etc....

The TV networks are having a very difficult time so why don't you present this fiction to them to see if there is any interest. Bush is out of office, get over it. Obama is out of office, get over it, Clinton added 1.4 trillion to the debt thus no surplus so get over it. Trump is President and Americans are better off today than when he took office, that is reality.

Hating Bush serves no purpose other than to divert from the reality of what is going on today and that is all that matters.
