The fact is Bush gave us low unemployment and a great economy until the Demon-crats took over Congress the last two years of his second term - then everything went to hell.

Here it is peeps ... there's an expression "lies, damned lies and statistics"

The author basically says Obama drove the economy into the ditch in his first year, and proceeded to drive the car in the ditch, mildly deeper each succesive year.

But hey, spending's only up 1.4%

Nope, true. Direct quote:

"The requirement to obtain basic insurance would have to be enforced. The easiest way to monitor compliance might be for households to furnish proof of insurance when they file their tax returns. If a family were to cancel its insurance, the insurer would be required to notify the government. If the family did not enroll in another plan before the first insurance coverage lapsed and did not provide evidence of financial problems, a fine might be imposed."

 Quoting: Revguard


That is actually funny. I wonder how long it took to come up this. I guess calculating percentage numbers and ignoring everything spent in the first two years make Obama the percentage champ. Mean while he has spent more then any other president in history and added 6 trillion dollars to the deficit. That make him the spending champion.

UNITED STATES (state-based action)

There is nationwide carbon tax levelled in the USA, although a few states have introduced the tax. Colorado passed a carbon tax in November 2006. California has a carbon tax of 4.4 cents per tonne of CO2. In Maryland, a tonne of CO2 is worth $5 from a source emitting more than a million tonnes of carbon dioxide during that year.

What a retarded, neo-con slop job of blatant propaganda out of Forbes, a Council on Foreign Relations supporting firm.

I'm disgusted, not only with this bumble-handed, undergraduate rough-draft quality shillery, but also that a moderator on this forum pinned such a crock of shit.

The..."author" of this piece(of shit) ham-hands an "annualized federal growth in spending" chart, arguing that because the spending only grew by 4.3% to 3.6 trillion in 2011, that somehow means that Obama is the thriftiest mother fucker since Dwight Eisenhower, completely disregarding the 3.6 trillion dollar principle.

"As the republicans would have you believe..."
Ugh, shut the f*ck up. The repocrats and the dempublicans work for exactly the same people; the international banking, oil, and offense contracting cartel.

This article is not fit for me to wipe my asshole with, and the "author" should immediately quit his job. I've seen more clever shit written in a gas station men's room.

From Article.

The first year of any incoming president term is saddled—for better or for worse—with the budget set by the president whom immediately precedes the new occupant of the White House. Indeed, not only was the 2009 budget the property of George W. Bush—and passed by the 2008 Congress—it was in effect four months before Barack Obama took the oath of office.

Accordingly, the first budget that can be blamed on our current president began in 2010 with the budgets running through and including including fiscal year 2013 standing as charges on the Obama account, even if a President Willard M. Romney takes over the office on January 20, 2013.
 Quoting: Revguard


Since Odumbass hasn't passed a budget in 3 years, it's a moot point.

Wait, wait, wait. I can not for the life of me figure how this author of the article came to anything close to this conclusion.

The Stimulus or The Recovery Act, is an economic stimulus package enacted by the 111th United States Congress in February 2009 and signed into law on February 17, 2009, by President Barack Obama.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

This Bill raised spending by $831 billion and was supposed to be a "one time expenditure". The dirty little secret, and one reason the Senate hasnt passed a budget since then, is because the .gov is operating under continuing resolutions, rather than passing an annual budget. The Stimulus from 2009 forward became part of the baseline budget and the .gov while still crying poor has been soaking us and living with an additional nearly 1 trillion annually!

The Debt rose $4.899 trillion during the two terms (that's 8 years for the retards)of the Bush presidency. It has now gone up $4.939 trillion since President Obama took office. (That's 3.5 years for the retards)


The latest posting from the Bureau of Public Debt at the Treasury Department shows the National Debt now stands at $15.566 trillion. It was $10.626 trillion on President Bush's last day in office, which coincided with President Obama's first day.
