Obama leaving Trump with a Terrible Economy... in charts...

Yes, revenues fell and non-discretionary spending rose. You see we had this little recession thingy.

and that little war thingy. @ 6 mil a head it was pricey to burn the skin of all those Muslims, to say nothing of the cost of paying Halliburton to put their little country back together after we had to reduced it to rubble for their own good. I hope they appreciate all the WMDs we got rid of and all that democracy we brought them. "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"

What we need is more non discretionary spending. Apparently it's the one thing in life that can never go down.

I can't believe the lefties and stalinist libertarian are still blaming bush? He had 8 years. 2 with control of congress. 6 with Republicans leaders paid to agree with him and even surrender the sequester.

the debt comes about because the govt borrows money after it spends it. not because the public buys already issued bonds.

Well Golly Gee, Draino, if that's what causes the debt, why not prevent the debt from "coming about" by making the lefties borrow the money before they spend it?

Damn, Draino, that's a good point! Blame should have an expiration date, just like eggs! I am learning so much kool shit here. This is already my favorite thread.

you have gone full moron since the election.

Ricter implied that buying bonds increases the debt.
I corrected him.

don't worry about learning here. you can't really learn anything if you don't allow your stalinist world govt soros loving worldview to be challenged.

after after 8 years of your beloved big govt spending and your beloved FED keeping rates at close as low as possible... you have to blame bush.

you would not blame obamacare
you would not blame more taxes
you would not blame massive immigration
you would not blame a middle east policy that is a disaster
you would not blame eliminating the sequester
you would blame 95 million people out of the work force
you would pretend massively expanding food stamps
you would not blame allowing China to peg the dollar
you would not blame inversions caused by too much taxing

anything but blame big govt, taxes and Obama the FED and/or quantitative easing.

Damn, Draino, that's a good point! Blame should have an expiration date, just like eggs! I am learning so much kool shit here. This is already my favorite thread.

Whoa there now, Draino, I reckon it's damn difficult to "correct" sarcasm. But if anyone could, you could, Draino.

Its tough to argue with someone who pretends they mean something else after they sell it.
your post trump trauma seems to have caused you to argue like the rest of your team.
you once had integrity.

By "the rest of your team" did you mean, "you lefty, stalinist libertarian" ? If so, I don't think so, Draino. But, ya'know, the great thing about this country we share is that, up to now anyway, we are free to be crazy as shit, so long as we have enough to pay our $536/hour attorney fees. Now I ask you, what's not to like about that? You can entertain --that is the right word here?-- all your crazy as shit conspiracy theories about the Fed, the Government, etc., as long as you don't grab a gun and climb a tower. Ain't that great! What a country!
