GOP losers in government shutdown & budget fracas?

[Canceled1]

Really?

"The budget and the shutdown are not related"....... thats your story ?...thats your story and you're gonna stick with it, huh ???

and you say because they are not related, that makes it a tea party ploy ?
====================
Well, then I give up...there is absolutely nothing I can say to a comment like that....nothing that wouldn't be a waste of time

You win, Rana.....

Some friend of hers told her she "knew her politics" and they haven't been able to shut her up since.

This is what we're experiencing from reading her tripe!

"In fiscal year 2001, which ended in September 2001 but was mostly set in place before President Bush took office, the federal government spent $1,863 billion. After seven years of Bush and a Republican Congress, spending was more than a trillion dollars higher -- $2,983 billion in FY2008. Then the financial crisis, TARP, the stimulus, and the omnibus spending bill came along, and FY2011 spending is estimated at $3,819 billion -- $836 billion more than just three years earlier, and $1,956 billion more than when Bush took office a decade ago."

During the Clinton administration was the federal budget balanced? Was the federal deficit erased?


A: Yes to both questions, whether you count Social Security or not.

all the more reason to consider FactCheck a hoax......nobody in their right mind would believe that the federal deficit was erased during Clinton's administration....

Good to hear from a conservative, especialy a birther, that Clinton wasn't overspending.

Oh, he overspent revenue every single year in office. However he and the republican congress were able to cut it to the lowest amount ever. The "record surplus" never was realized, but that was the closest we came to actually paying down some of our debt since 1959.

or, if you were so inclined, you could consider fact to be fact instead....

here is a chart from the department of Treasury showing the national debt......no spin, no partisanship.....just pure, hard numbers...please show me in which of the years of the Clinton administration the debt did not increase....
