EDIT:
I would question the downvote, considering my post is just a link I grabbed from the first google search on 'deficit spending by year', but then I realized that cognitive dissonance is a harsh mistress. I won't judge if you lash out with your mouse. Aaand I just broke my own rule about replying to downvotes...
- gnaritas 13y agoNo, my reality is factual and your link supports what I said, it shows Bush ballooning the deficit and Obama reducing it. You'll find the same thing with the previous Bush and Regan ballooning the deficit while Clinton reduced it.
- cobrausn 13y agoHah, this is a laughable claim. The final year of the Bush administration (partially shared by Obama, fiscally) being higher and Democrats 'reducing it' is a word game. So are you saying if Democrats give themselves a 1 trillion deficit (via their own policies) and then reduce it by half, this is somehow better than Republicans giving themselves a 500 billion deficit and reducing it by 10 percent? Bush reduced the deficit over several years too, did you ignore that? Gods, you partisans are hilarious.
