If American families aren’t doing what he says they’re doing — reducing their debt burden — they’re stupid.
As for Obama’s debt, it’s unconscionable. More so even than George Bush’s, because it’s bigger. I wish my fellow conservatives had been yammering about the debt explosing - both government AND private — when Bush was president. Bush helped fuel the private debt bomb, by promoting no-down-payment home loans for low incomes.
If Bush hadn’t been a disaster as president, Obama wouldn’t be president today. So bush got us coming and going.
Foreclosures have a salient impact on reducing personal debt along with bankruptcies.
“If Bush hadn’t been such a disaster as president....”
You are so right. Why didn’t more conservatives scream and yell at Bush for his “compassionate” big government policies and for blowing the gaskets on spending?
Bush poisoned the well for the conservative brand. He made it easy for a glib liberal like O’Bummer to come along and say, who are the Republicans to lecture us on deficits? Look what my predecessor did to destroy the fiscal integrity of our nation. blah blah blah. But there was much truth to what he said.
