>>Obama has created the largest deficit in America's history. do you take pride in being wrong and ignorant every time you post? here's the truth, which is old news at this point, but i'm sure you will continue to believe the earth is flat "So how did we get from a budget surplus at the beginning of George W. Bush's presidency to deficits and debt as far as the eye can see? Here's a quick timeline: the Bush tax cuts (2001), 9/11 and the Afghanistan war (2001), the Iraq war (2003), more tax cuts, the unpaid-for Medicare prescription-drug benefit (2003), the financial collapse and economic downturn (2008), the Obama stimulus (2009), and the two-year extension of the Bush tax cuts (2010). Then you add the aging Baby Boomers to the whole mix. Back in 2009, the New York Times calculated that 37% of the deficits were due the economic downturn, 33% were due to Bush's policies, 20% were due to Obama's extensions of Bush's policies, and another 10% were due to Obama's policies like the stimulus." so 10% was due to Obama's stimulus package, which if not enacted the country would be in worse shape and we know Rish Limpbaugh types would love to see the country even worse off so they can blame it on Obama i bet Rush Limpbaugh also blames his erectile dysfunction on Obama . .
