- when Bush, Sr. left office he left a......... $290 BILLION DEFICIT
- when Clinton left office, he left a......$236 BILLION SURPLUS
- when Bush, Jr. left office he had burned through all of that surplus, PLUS left a ......$1.2 TRILLION DEFICIT !!!!!
- THIS is what Obama inherited!
(On THAT note, Eisenhower was the last Republican president to balance the budget!!)
- Only 12% of the budget is what they fight about NOW.......and that portion is what affects women, children, troops, seniors, the poor, and the most economically fragile in our land.
- The OTHER 88%, about which Obama fiercely toes in about, is the percentage that contains the trillions of dollars of breaks to the uber-wealthy.
If you believe this is an extreme view, you clearly have not done your homework as a citizen!
What in the world makes the common U.S. voter so passive? What makes them so disinterested and lacking in compassion about their :endangered species?
