And Clinton's last budget proposal for FY2001, which ended in September 2001, generated a $133.29 billion deficit. The growing deficits started in the year of the last Clinton budget, not in the first year of the Bush administration. Keep in mind that President Bush took office in January 2001 and his first budget took effect October 1, 2001 for the year ending September 30, 2002 (FY2002). So the $133.29 billion deficit in the year ending September 2001 was Clinton's.

Exactly what he did. He started two wars, passed two tax cuts, a Medicare PartD entitlement bumped up discretionary spending like a drunken sailor and did it all on a credit card... You douche. Do you not realize that Obama just put a TRILLION DOLLARS on credit cards by signing legislation that is unpaid for? Do you not realize that Medicare Part D was fiscally rock-solid, until Obamacare passed which turned it into a deficit generator of untold proportions. This used to be a great thread. But when the liberal dimits from AMD Unmoderated came over here it just destroyed it.
