How did the Republicans (Bush I, II and Reagan) manage to drive our debt and deficit so high?

Question

SO FAR best answer is from another Fox News groupie who has noticed how reagan inherited Clinton's debt.. great

Of course we have had a Republican congress for 12 years

Answer 1

Republicans mainly stay focused on corporate earnings and windfalls. War profiteers rely heavily on Republican military operations to amass huge sums of wealth for the already wealthy while the working class pays for all the glory. They of course retire with "Full Pay" for life and receive other amenities provided by the American Tax Payer who doesn't retire with full pay and is lucky to retire at all while the government allows crud corporations like Enron and others to screw people out of 30 years of retirement benefits. People are homeless and some live out of trash bins while these pigs live high on the hog hoarding millions and millions of dollars in their well to do "Personal Financial Portfolios". How do you figure that?

Answer 2

Republican means BIG government. Big government means big bills. It is pretty simple really. Republicans spend more then they take in. It is not there money and they are trying to make themselves immortal by getting the highest listing in the history books. If you are just trying to make your name big so you will never be forgotten then why would you worry about what happens to the people of tomorrow long as you get in the list. After you get so rich there is nothing more to achieve but more power. Once you have the power there is nothing more but to be remembered after you are gone.

I don't get where you get your statment "SO FAR best answer is from another Fox News groupie who has noticed how reagan inherited Clinton's debt.. great" could be correct.. If the depit was not there when Clinton left office how could it be inhearted?

And for the dummy in you, did you not know that Bush was after Clinton and Reagan was before Clinton which left Clinton with a large bill to pay and as stated above it was not there when Clinton left office?

Get your facts right ok?

Answer 3

Well, tax cuts and unlimted spending. Reagan pumped a lot of money into the military, and no doubt a lot of it was wasted on expensive tolet seats and steak dinners for our generals, lol.. I'm sure it would have been like looking at a hospital bill, one cotton ball $10.00!

I think Bush 1, inherated Reagan's debit, and couldn't raise taxes higher enough, lol...Remember the read my lips, no new taxes, well he had to take that one back as I recall. I don't know how much the Gulf War put us back, but I'm sure it was costly, luckily it didn't drag very long.

Well, Bush 2 is a cut and spend guy, seems like he has no fiscal plan at all. His decision to go invade Iraq has turned into a very costly endevor, it far exceeds all cost projections. So, how is it going to be paid for? Credit card? Americans will pay the price down the road when the economy goes to hell, remember how nice things were after the Vietnam War ended?

I just don't see all those happy numbers the Bush Administration keeps throwing out there. People are paying more and more for health insurance, college costs are ridiculous, gas neared record highs, home heating is up, etc. feel free to add to the list. The average person's pay check has not increased enough to cover the additional costs, so more people are indebt now. Second morgages, refinicing, loans, and credit cards, That's how I see most Americans paying for things. Many in my generation the tail end baby boomers will be working a lot longer than their parents and not by choice! LOL..It's not going to be like those commercials were the boomers are looking for fun things to do during retirement, lol... Some of us will be Walmart greeters, if that job is still available, lol.. Or the next generation could kill us off, I'm sorry you are a fiscal drain on us, so you must die early, because we need your social security money.

Answer 4

Lol, this is 3 presidents so as this is 3 trillion apiece in 24 years. Obama first couple of weeks gonna advance that via yet another a million.3 trillion with the stimulus plan, ok.How lots is the invoice introduced on Monday or Tuesday to restore Banks and enormous agencies gonna be? 500 billion, seven-hundred billion, a million trillion? So enable's see in below 2 month's, Obama is finding to spend 2 trillion are greater. So if he retains spending like this Obama is finding at 6 trillion a twelve months circumstances 4 is 24 trillion income one term, desire he breaks the checklist.

Answer 5

Well this republican will tell you to watch a great new documentary just released entitled - WHY WE FIGHT. This will answer your very important question. The truth of the matter is that we should not have gone into such debt had we, the American public, been paying attention to the warnings provided to us by 2 American presidents..Washington and Eisenhower.

Answer 6

By paying our soldiers. This also has lowered welfare, and employeed many people who would otherwise be taking hand outs. Where would you rather spend? On fat lazy Welfare people or on Hard working Military Personel?
The debt would have been there either way , because Clinton didn't do $H!T while in office. We did however have more unemployeed then than now.

Answer 7

Don't count Raygun he had Alzheimer's,

Remember the Bush family is a long standing member of the Skull&Bones. The Bonesmen own the World Bank. It is that simple. Borrow money for America from your own bank and collect the intrest on the loan.

Don't squawk it is perfectly legal to loan money in America.
