The vast majority of the debt can be attributed to democRATs/socialist/liberals, although the Pubbies have their share.

The left never lists Bush’s No child left behind act, or the perscription drug benefit as being Bush’s contribution wo wild overspending, even though those are gigantic additions to the debt. ONLY the wars add to the debt.
Yes. It would be interesting to see the actual numbers for 1954 through 1994. How many of those years when the Dems controlled the House was there a Republican Senate?
[ Who is to Blame for the National Debt? ]
Americas Seniors that has steadfastly NOT allowed reducing or even restructuring social security and any other program that Older Americans use...
Thats WHO... people that SHOULD know better but don’t..
DON’T cut my programs or even limit them to people that need them..
MAny American have enough resources they don’t really need Seniors programs.. BUT get them BY LAW anyway..
Yeah its the OLD PEOPLE that have produced the massive Socialism..
And who will accuse them, blame them, finger them?... NOBODY...
THAT SHOULD STOP... NOW!!!!!!!..
the “we” was collective- not accusatory.
The rate at which our system has been destructed exceeds anything I would have believed possible.
I thought I’d be an old dude whittling on the porch before the USA melted down. Not so sure now, but at least I’m old enough now to not care as much about me...
Because many of our ‘leaders’ in gov’t, business, and education, have turned their back on God, there is precious little they care about other than themselves and their near-term pleasure. As a result, the immorality of sticking huge burdens of debt to our children and their children doesn’t really bother them.
Because the free market is not allowed to rule, most important markets are manipulated and/or distorted. Since the self-correcting mechanism of the free market would have us not only avoid an economic collapse, but we’d now be on the road to prosperity again (referring to 2008).
Therefore the blame lies in the rejection of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and a failure to allow the ‘invisible hand’ of the free market to determine economic destiny.
Yes, the money spent there was well-spent, at least initially. But here again Bush bungled the job. He traded in a quick, decisive victory for PC "nation-building."
One of my favorite quotes, from Sun Tzu, the Art of War:
"No long war ever profited any country. 100 victories in 100 battles is simply ridiculous."
I am not saying the Republicans didn't help, but the Democrats have controlled the Legislature a vast majority of the past hundred years.
Who is responsible? Everyone bears a burden in some way, but primarily liberals.
Liberals (Democrats, environmentalists, statists, you name it) through their ties to unions, their destruction of the industrial base, their soiling and dumbing down of the educational systems, their massive government social programs, their handcuffing of industry and the private sector through legislation and environmental restrictions have made things the way they are today.
We all bear a burden. Us for not fighting it more vigorously, republicans for going along, but...primarily liberals of all stripes.
It is liberalism, pure and simple. It is the mother’s milk of nearly all that ails this country.
Shows each President, House, Senate and who spent what since this country's founding.
Thanks!
Yes....I’ve heard we have $200 TRILLION between Debt and Unfunded Liabilities...
