Took Obama 8 years to kick start the economy. No thanks to McConnell who wouldn't vote for anything to help.

His kick start was adding $5 TRILLION DOLLARS to the Nation Deficit, then giving the low income (90+ percent black folks) free insurance, free phones, and free internet. Also, look at the amount of commuted sentences and what race and religion they were. Blacks and Mooslims were the majority.
Happy Cinco de Mayo today. Today we break bread (pan) and drink margaritas. Tomorrow we go back to our respective corners and throw them political jabs... but today we enjoy.
Not even 1 trillion. 90% was for the wars Bush started.
Oh dang, facts. Whatcha gonna do? Lol

Here we go again Ern. We ALL know it was Bush's fault! LOL
comme ci, comme ca Isn't that what your doing now? Everything is Obamas fault? First time our debt hit a trillion when little Bush was in office. Ten to twelve when he left office.
Hey! Lets start some more wars, I'm sure we can borrow our way out of this debt. We can just declare bankruptcy like our Bankruptcy King.
The financially conservative Tea Party GOP? Where'd they go?

Um huh?
If you take away Bush II, the rest are almost the same. None of the others were in office during 9-11. How much of Bushes cost was military because of that?
I think you need to find a pie chart that shows the expenditures not just totals.

The tea party was a name that the libtards used for those horrible people who want to curb spending for socialist methodology ideologies. Concerned people are here, there, and everywhere. I don't associated with the names the libtards are using, but I am a conservative who will always be a watch dog for wasteful government spending.
Building up the military is not wasteful spending, especially with Obama's failed bribe when his $1.2 billion in cold cash didn't shut down Iran, and they are ramping up nuclear capabilities. We must protect this country at all costs, including building that wall to stop MRSA and measles bound ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Building up the military was a good thing, especially needed after 9-11. I'm not a Tea Party fan myself. I think they are the extreme right and I don't like either of the extremes.
Thought this was interesting. Nadler then and now.

Wait until trumps tally comes in. LOL Obama's was high because he was still paying for the stupid Iraq war little Bush started.
The conservatives always bitch about liberal spending, then they get in office and spend more. I don't mind military spending either. But they always attach garbage we don't need to bills that are worthy. And then if you don't vote for it they cry foul. Both sides do that. This is why the Libertarian Party needs to take over.

Publicants always forget how much trouble our economy was in when he took over and Bush's cabinet just walked away from the mess.
Funny how they kiss Trumps ass but Trump has done worse than Clinton.
Clinton was acquitted by the Senate. But 14 current Republican senators, some of whom were then serving in the House, voted either to impeach or convict Clinton on the obstruction charge. Some specifically cited his actions toward the witnesses when explaining their votes.

Following his deposition, the president had to decide what to do with his loyal secretary, Ms Betty Currie. And, again, the undisputed evidence shows that the president took the path of lies and deceit.
Contrary to federal obstruction of justice laws and contrary to judge Wright’s protective order … President Clinton left the deposition, went back to the White House and called Ms Currie at home to ask her to come to the White House the next day, which, I might add, was a Sunday.
… I am completely and utterly perplexed by those who argue that perjury and obstruction of justice are not high crimes and misdemeanors.

It is clear to me that the president committed serious crimes when he coached his secretary, Betty Currie, and when he misled his aides Sidney Blumenthal and John Podesta … These actions weren’t just outrageous and morally wrong. They were also illegal. They were a direct assault on the integrity of the judicial process.

The question I have that needs to desperately be answered by somebody is – when he approached Ms Currie to coach her in the fashion he did, is that a crime? Because I don’t want people at home to be confused that they can do these things, because if they do what the president did, in my opinion, they will wind up in jail.

Estimates are that the new tariffs will cost 900,000 American jobs.
...........or 1000 jobs and China will cave. They need us too and their economy isn't doing nearly as well as ours. What if it brings back some jobs? Everyone ******* about crappy Chinese parts and wants to buy American. Maybe the Chinese freeze plug I bought today will cost 1.15 instead of 89 cents.
It doesn't make sense we would lose those jobs. If anything, it will increase jobs because we will now manufacture the items here, rather from that slow boat from China.
It's a time issue. The jobs wouldn't appear overnight. I don't think any economist disagrees that China has had a good ride for too long. I think Trumps 25% is just a bargaining chip. Apply the 25% tarriff and settle for 11%. That's a win because you really only wanted 7%.
It's a gamble for sure. Not sure if his method or time line is good or not. Time will tell. China needs our trade badly. We need theirs too and honestly I don't want to buy a $300 microwave.

I'm with you guys. One of the few things I agree with Trump on. Both sides of the fence - Bush and Obama touted the new age of Tech that would replace the manufacturing labor jobs. It ain't panning out so well. Turns out we sent tech to china as well. Greedy corporations want slave child labor so they can make even more profit and not pay Americans a living wage. America shut down our old decrepit factories an built those shiny new factories in China. Plus they steal or are outright given our tech secrets. We built China's economy with our money. Time to send them back to the horse an carriage days.
If I buy American, which I try to do with every purchase I'm going to pay more. So If I have to pay a tariff (tax) then so be it it washes out.
