[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 858814, member: 17969"] How'd we get into this mess? is your question? Seriously? How about tax cuts for the rich that put a 3 trillion dollar hole in the deficit during the bush term? How about 2 wars still unpaid at a cost of 3 trillion more? How about a prescription drug bill that was passed by republicans at a cost of a half a trillion that has gone unpaid? How about multiple bailouts to banks and wall street cronies during the bush term for another couple of trillion? When Obama took office, the debt stood at 10.7 trillion dollars. Its 14.3. trillion as we speak, and it has to go higher to keep the country from collapsing. How did we get into this mess? Well, how about a housing bubble that started with BUSH"S "home ownership society" that asked for 6 million new homes to be built in 8 years, how about the "downpayment assistance act" that BUSH introduced and passed to give away taxpayer money to unqualified home buyers who would otherwise be unable to buy a home? Once that bubble burst, it was game over for this countries economic future for years to come. How about oil prices under BUSH reaching 150 dollars a barrel? Fuel prices at the pump reaching and eclipsing 5 bucks a gallon under bush? How about the massive job losses under BUSH that reigned for his last two years as they "KICKED THE CAN" down the road with stimulus programs until OBAMA took office? How did we get into this mess? How about the enrons, tyco's and worldcom's who collapsed under BUSH and wiped out the majority of pension savings programs for ALL AMERICANS? How about the collapse of wall street under bush where the market plunged from 14000 to 6800? How did we get into this mess? How about the 11.8 million jobs that were shipped overseas under BUSH while those same corporations took the largest tax cuts since Reagan did it? You cry about the budget, yet supported the very party that ran the ship into the ground, and now you want to blast the guy trying to pull it out of the ditch! Better re-take history my friend, it seems to escape you. Peace. [/QUOTE]
