Digging America Out of Republican Debt... Again

On Friday, House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) distributed a video showing “how the policies of the Bush Administration have failed the nation and continue to affect our ability to confront the current economic crisis.”

Until very recently, Democrats were the sole party of Big Government. We're STILL paying for FDR's disastrous "New Deal" and LBJ's failed "Great Society" war on poverty.

If the numbnuts in DC wanted to fix the current problems which they ultimately caused, they'll do...nothing; nothing except get out of the way and shut their royal traps. We all know THAT will never happen, because the egos of these 'leaders' are insatiable and they have to play Santa Claus to someone.

The most insane phrase I've heard beyond the bailouts is this: "tax cuts we can't afford." Such despicable arrogance by parasites. It's big, useless government no one can afford.

you do realize that this same financial bullshit was going on back then, only people actually got away instead of being caught?

LBJ and FDR didn't invent theiving market manipulation or insider trading or all the other fun stuff that people do to get over on the rest of the world.

you actually blame transparent plans, for things that happened because of stuff no one was supposed to ever know about? aka secret shit?

back to your excuse board, qm = billo.

Ahh Right Wing historical revisionism.

Never looking at Reagen's record expenditure on nuclear armament, star wars, iran contra, trickle down economics and so much more. How was that as a economic stimulus?

Let's not forget the constant axiom held that free markets would allows a growing market, well insider trading of sub prime mortgages was about as close to a free market as you got, yet look how that panned out. The SEC and Credit approves all rolled over to allow big business to fuck up even more, which was then rescued by government bailout. Free market engineering allowed Enron to jack California for money over power, because somehow Alan Greenspan thought everyone would simply self regulate themselves.

What about defense spending? privatization of military contracts and logistics was supposed to save the government money instead it spends even more now on logistics and upkeep routinely private firms would blow up equipment and charge ungodly rates to the government.

Right wing nut economics has always been about privatizing profits while socializing the costs. Relying solely on outdated criticisms on FDR and LBJ. What happened with Bush you guys? What was that about small government?

No you can't afford tax cuts when you have run away deficit and a crumbling infrastructure. The same ones built through government expenditure.
