>The GOP has not been fiscally responsible.
No question. Best you can say is they are the only ones who are willing to hint at the big problem which is entitlement reform. They certainly can’t broach raising taxes without getting hammered. Soon as you can get some real strength of showing among voters with an alternative that is not the Democratic party (at least todays Democratic party), give us a shout.

That's a $4.350 Trillion increase over 8 years under Bush.
Compared to $15,950 trillion debt now. An increase under Obama of $5.926 Trillion in just under 4 years.
However, Obama inherited Bush's Drug Plan which wasn't really reflected in Bush's numbers. Obama also inherited a Financial crisis which dropped Gov't Revenues while driving outlays up. He inherited Tarp but that was paid back. Obama did not inherit the Stimulus program, that was all Obama.
And Obama's numbers for 4 years don't reflect most of the costs for Obamacare which won't really start hitting until next year.
From January 2001 to January 2007.
The Repubs controlled both the House and Senate.
And domestic spending skyrocketed.
Or DU. Which I suspect he's hiding. Somehow, I don't think this Newbie's screen name refers to our 1969 moon, landing but another kind of "moonshot" he's giving us...
Yup, pretty much.. and has been called out on it for a few months.. guess the admin likes a chew toy for us.. but I just ignore troll posts (unless absolutely necessary to post a troll pic or something ;~) )
You need to study up a little bit. Democrats took the house and senate in 2006, and took office in january 2007.
Nor did I. I took the signup date and the nature of the post both into consideration. My "sniffer" is working overtime...

Add them up! They’re ~2 trillion, all by the RAT Congress, what do you say to that?
There’s a Trolley Bus stop right around the corner of FR building.
Why do so many citizens not know our Constitution? Congress controls the spending, the President carries it out.
The national debt increased by $575 billion is FY 2006.
So that deficit figure means nothing.
Make that 3 trillion.
Okay, I’ll take your math....All I am ticked over is that this budget stuff is very politically subjective in nature and highlighting established budget numbers (for which there has not been an APPROVED budget since BHO was elected)and even before when Democrats gained control mid second term during Bush.
I have PLENTY to fault W for - none of that includes the WOT....he did PLENTY wrong, the GOPe did PLENTY wrong. But Obama did EVEN WORSE.
Obama doesn’t care about money; that money is somebody else’s; and they aren’t HIS constituents.
No they have not. But Obama topped that in less than four years.
You meant to say January 2007 right? When did Ms Pelosi take the gavel?
It is called BLACKMAIL and the DEMs are really good at it!
If we take a break from bashing Obama for just a minute, and look at our own party’s track record on spending, maybe we can force them to present something better than Ryan’s plan. Why does the RSC get such short shrift? Okay, maybe we can do that and bash Obama at the same time. :)
SADLY, Trillion dollar deficits will continue with the gOp. They will just maintain spending at 20 percent of GDP, ONE OF EVERY FIVE DOLLARS, and the GDP figures will of course be suspect.
But politics is soooo much fun, so lets not worry aboutit and PARTEEEEEEE

"didn’t the democrats take control in 2006"
Yes I made a typo.
I guess your point is not defensible.
Plus, you have denigrated Vietnam Vets on this forum before. Methinks you are getting short.
