Are all current problems in the US liberals fault?

Question

Last I looked it was Bush in charge the last 7 years, shouldn't he be somewhat responsible too?

If you ask me, it is both the Democrats and Republicans fault with Bush at the helm.

Current problems like the weak dollar, illegals, education, health care, over spending, debt and never ending nation building, housing market, NAU, secure borders to name a few.

Answer 1

Well, if we look back in history, during LBJ's "Great society" and the Jimmy Carter era, how come things went from bad to worse. The "war on poverty" has cost nearly 7 trillion yet the poverty rate has not budged. What a "great" liberal plan.
So yes, liberalism has not solved many problems, in fact, I challenge anyone to name a situation which liberalism was the solution.

However, I agree with the answer above. Over the past decade, politicians of both parties have been increasingly connected with lobbyists and seem to ignore their constituents.

Answer 2

Okay to go back to high school government and economics class. The whole group is responsible. Bush actually has limited power. The checks and balances in place would take care of it being a dictatorship. Go buy a book a read a little. Our government may be the most hated but is the most stable at this point. We get to change who is in office if they are screwing up. Of course we are making dang sure that most voters are not educated enough to make informed choices. Let's go the party line and forget about informed choices.

These politicians run smear campaigns and turn the whole election process into a huge joke. I get so sick of election year commercials that I could go without turning on a radio or a TV for that whole year and I would be happy.

Sorry got side tracked a little. A president is not really as in charge as everyone would like to think.

Answer 3

I do agree that Bush should have handled immigration and some other things better, but the first Bush, and Clinton should have solved the middle east problems before we got attacked. Clinton was directly responsible for the twin towers. If he wasn't screwing around with interns all the time he may have noticed the writing on the wall before it was too late. The economy goes in cycles. Implementing policy today will not effect anything for like 5 to 10 years. The first bush and Regan set up Clinton in the economy. he was thrilled because he could enact rediculous policy becaseu he new it would not effect his terms in office. That is why people think Clinoon was so great. The economy during his reign, until the end when everyone started losing their jobs. Most every failed decision Clinton made in the early part of his presidency is directly responsible for some of the hard ships we have been seeing today and a couple years ago. Bushs tax cuts saved our asses.

Answer 4

OK listen close . The problems with this country are related solely to uninformed and nonvoters . Regardless of belief or party on issues . Americans vote mostly on party few vote actually on issues . ( I am referring to looking at pro and con . Then you can truly vote on issues.) Instead they vote on what media or their preacher or perhaps Rush or Jesse Jackson told them . Not simply educating themselves on facts . Such as liberals want to take their guns and kill baby's . or Republicans are only concerned about oil . These have some merit but little fact . So the truth is these problems of all voters Republican and democrat alike . After all we voted these Representatives in . Now Vote them out hold them accountable for their campaign promises and let that be your guide for reelection. I must admit I am angry that the cabinet is getting paid by George Bush with additional taxpayers money . http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/fedprssal.html

Answer 5

Lets stop playing the name game and band together as Americans.

We may not agree on the smaller issues like education, abortion, gay rights and insurance but lets be real.
We may not have kids to educate or doctors available for abortions or even have time to worry about Gay rights if we are in a world war.

We should understand that most Americans are not happy with Illegal invasion and what the consequences could mean.
Dem's and Rep both want a world left to argue over so we need to get together and act like Americans who want a decent world for our children.
I am not sure this world will survive a today's world war.

Answer 6

The weak dollar encourages US exports, discourages imports and reduces the trade deficit. Having weak currency is not a bad thing. I could address the other issues, but, I won't bother.

No, "Liberals" are not responsible for the divisiveness in US politics. It is the closed mindedness, elitism and propagandistic media management of the Democrats that is causing the problems in the United States.

Democrats, including Hillary Clinton blame, President Bush for there not being Armor in Iraq, knowing full well her husband wrote the 2001 and 2002 budgets and refused to spend money on Armor.

People eat up the propaganda like gospel from a pagan god.

I also blame public education, primarily run by Democrats, for not turning out students with the literacy skills necessary to actually figure this kind of thing out for themselves.

Answer 7

No, they are all our faults for not being aware of what is going on around us. 300 million people and less than half take part in our government. The people we elect to office are not much better. They stand up for nothing. Peace

Answer 8

All black and white? All the Dem's fault?
Short answer: No.

Nor is it all the Republican's fault.

There is more than enough blame, but I suggest that we stop playing party politics and rapidly focus on what is truly important, which is to work together to solve the issues that we have.

Bush is at the helm, only for 6 years though. He took office in 2001, not 2000. Before that, Clinton was at the helm, and there was plenty of screwups (8 years worth) that accumulated to the point of getting us 9/1/1 and a recession in 2001...

So let's all agree that playing blame game is really pointing three fingers back at ourselves. Lets' work on common ground where we can, shall we?

Answer 9

Of course not! Just like all the current problems aren't Bush's fault.

Careful - you're sounding awfully reasonable. That's almost prohibited on YA!!

Answer 10

Oh heavens no, not ALL of the problems the US faces are the fault of the liberals. I'm sure there are some that aren't their fault. I just can't think of one right away.

The real proplem is for every solution the liberals come up with comes two NEW problems. The best we can hope for is for the liberals not to come up with any solutions.

Now if we could just get them to shut up about the problems we might get something accomplished.
