First, you said that it was repaid, it wasn't me who brought up the issue, I was simply correcting you. Actually, looking at CBO figures, the outlays were 150 billion dollars. And if you look at the increase in outlays for mandatory programs like Medicare and Medicaid, it would be pretty...

Yes, a SMALL SHARE like 31 billion dollar increase due to the Omnibus bill and the 140 billion increase due to the stimulus tax cuts going into effect. Also your TARP argument was already destroyed, it showed a decrease in outlays, it wasn't repaid even partially much much later.

Problem with your argument is that I showed COST DECREASES In 2010 while you are harping about NUMBERS FROM 2009. If you cannot follow an argument, don't pretend that you are refuting it.

Here are couple of libertarian blogs backing up the original article, they tend to be far more reasonable and honest than Conservative blogs. http://archive.mises.org/16107/bushs-huge-budget-numbers-blamed-on-obama/ http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/dont-blame-obama-for-bushs-2009-deficit/

You are being extremely disingenuous. I destroyed your argument that Obamacare increased deficits when I pointed out that the CBO didn't even talk about deficits but only COSTS along with the budget OFFSETS which REDUCED deficits. And the concept behind the law is to get everyone in the...

Did you notice what I said? I said Romney was able to DECREASE healthcare costs in MA especially referring to PREMIUMS which was the point of his reforms - they were always very high which Romney was able to reverse with his reforms. You are simply looking at gross numbers trying to refute a...

It will surely increase spending, but it pays for that spending while decreasing healthcare costs for everyone while increasing coverage for those who don't have access to it. Romney did this in MA with great success...

I am quoting directly from the CBO, you are quoting higher COST numbers which doesn't mean that they increase deficits since the BUDGETARY OFFSETS have also increased. If the spending is paid for then it doesn't increase deficits unlike Medicare Part D which made absolutely no attempt to pay for...

This is again false. Obamacare doesn't add to the deficit at all, the law fully didn't go into effect until 2014 which is why there is a difference in the spending numbers as the budget window changes. Infact the recent analysis shows that it reduces deficit MORE than previously thought. CBO...

You made a FALSE statement, I corrected you, that's all. You brought up the topic, not me. Do quote me where I whined about California, what the fuck is wrong with you. Do you even look at the username before making a reply.

Actually TARP spending only DECREASED, the getting back happened much later , also if you read the PDF, spending in Medicare and other mandatory spending also increased. This is very clear if you actually read the PDF - TARP is still not paid back actually.

You are confused about who you are replying to, I didn't bring up California at all - I was simply fact-checking a part of your statement and showing that it was incorrect.

Did that include Medicare Part D, a 700 billion dollar budget busting completely unpaid for welfare program signed by Bush and passed by Republicans? The program is actually getting phased out by Obama under Obamacare and Republicans are whining about how he is cutting Medicare (like they don't...

Actually, the data is correct and all you had to do is look up old CBO numbers to prove it. For example, from the CBO on January 2009 January 7, 2009 CBO projects that the deficit this year will total $1.2 trillion, or 8.3 percent of GDP. Source - http://www.cbo.gov/publication/41753...

I was specifically referring to your this comment - In theory you could have more sympathy for California related to the federal government not enforcing the border and all the additional costs that fall to California as a result That was not based in reality as I proved. Thread maybe...

They didn't inherit anything, they intentionally scouted for these racist Democrats ( Southern Conservatives) after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act. "In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to the Republican Party strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting...

I was specifically quoting the article which is lying which is why it never quotes the actual article instead of saying 'for example'. Even politifact pointed out how Con blogs are lying about this "Two final clarifications. One, contrary to what many e-mailers and Twitter and Facebook...

Another rant without any basis in facts. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/12/obamas-record-high-deportations-draw-hispanic-scorn/

Funny thing is, most of these moochers make the most noise against the very thing that sustains them. "The regions in which government programs account for the largest share of personal income — are precisely the regions electing those severe conservatives. "...

When you say 'racist Democrats', you mean CONSERVATIVES. Democrats used to be the party of Conservatives until LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_coalition
