My basic facts?
Ha. That’s funny. Or it would be if the world didn’t contain people who absolved Bush of his responsibility.
Bush’s FY09 continuing resolution lasted until April of 2009. Also TARP was his too. Does Obama get blamed for TARP too?
The graph is clear that congress may pass spending bills pertaining to the current fiscal year. No one blames the Obama stimulus on Bush. No one credits the Bush tax cuts to Clinton even though they started in FY01. FY09 clearly lies on the dividing line between Bush and Obama and I think most sane human beings would understand it.
Stating there is some problem with culpability shown by the graph should be beneath a FReeper.
Accepting the graph as it stands, and using it for justification of for why “Bush was bad” is not just disingenuous, but unethical. But you go right on ahead with that...
Yes indeed he does. He vote "Aye" to pass it in a coequal branch of government. He could have also joined in the fight to reform Fannie and Freddie years before so it would have enough votes to get through cloture and instead the legislation died...it was being supported only on a party line.
You are not only getting the most basic facts wrong about the situation, but also don't seem to understand the basics of our system of government...I don't say that to be disparaging toward you, it's just the way it is based on your comments.
