Why do Yahoo libs not understand that almost all deficits were caused by Democrats? Are they that dense?

Question

Do they not teach Civics in high school anymore? Congress, specifically the House of Representatives, is in charge of spending the money, not the President. Not any President ever.

Democrats controlled Congress for more than FOUR DECADES and in that time pitched record deficits nearly every year. What changed? In 1994 Newt Gingrich was elected Speaker of the House and FORCED through tax cuts that stimulated the economy and produced windfall revenue to the Treasury.

I'll admit that it's true that the war combined with liberal-like Republicans in the current Congress ruined all of Newt's work, but why do Yahoo! liberals not understand that the budget surpluses in the 90's they're always spouting off about had NOTHING to do with President Clinton?

Hey "Schmorgen" ... Stuart Smalley is NOT a good source for your economic training. Every single time in the history of the world that a government has reduced taxes it has received an increased amount of revenue to its treasury. Every time.

It works because the more you remove government from people's lives the more productive they are. The more productive they are the more money they make. The more money they make the more taxes they pay.

Is this really that difficult to understand?

Answer 1

To answer both questions:

That is not what Hilary told them to think.

yes.

Answer 2

The president presents a budget for congress, does he not? So if that budget contains, say, a freaking surplus, then it can be credited to that president. Why are all cons so willing to talk down to people when they have no clue what they're talking about?

You don't produce a surplus through tax cuts. I'm sorry, but that simply is not the case. As much as paying taxes sucks, it's the only way to reverse the largest deficit in our nation's history- of course with all three branches controlled by cons, it must be Clinton's fault, right?

Answer 3

George Bush, Sr. got the economy back on track and Clinton took the credit for it. But you'll never find that in the history books because those are written by liberals who choose to omit anything that shows them in a negative light. What about the economy during LBJ's and Nixon's terms? Now, that can't be blamed on the Republicans.

Answer 4

Clinton's legacy was the first surplus in 4 decades. Bush and his cronies has spent us into the worst deficit in history -- worse than all others combined. Say what you want about Clinton and Gingrich, the current situation is TOTALLY Republican.

Answer 5

via reality it extremely is now no longer what the record says. It says that IF the fee-containment measures put in place by President Obama’s wellness care regulation instruct *unsustainable,* then the regulation will upload appreciably to the country’s long-term debt. It additionally says that if each and each and all the proposed mark downs and tax will strengthen stay in place, Obamacare might inspite of the undeniable fact that be deficit reducing time-honored. The record makes *no* element out of a greenback quantity.

Answer 6

Bush hasn't exactly been a champion of removing government from people's lives, ironically.

Answer 7

True Republican you are!

Answer 8
