Why do conservatives come off as such idiots?

lol

FYI - This graph was created in 2010. The actual deficits in 2011 and 2012 were much greater.

[LnGrrrR]

What about Obama vs Bush? Do you have that chart TLong?

[tlongII]

lol using the national debt tripling as proof that Reagan's policy works

Clinton was the last president to leave office with national surpluses. Did he raise taxes or cut taxes?

Well, I know he didn't spend like a drunken sailor.

[tlongII]

Gotta go back to work now. I'll leave you liberals to contemplate these facts for a while on your own.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Well, I know he didn't spend like a drunken sailor.

dodging the question because you know the answer

Using a president who tripled the national debt as an example of fiscal responsibility is in hilarious.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

My favorite conservative battle cry is their championing of individual liberty, freedom, and Cons utional rights..........unless you're gay, black, Mexican, a sexually active woman, poor, or a Muslim, in which case your liberty can go itself because the government needs to regulate how you live your lives.

They also champion fiscal responsibility (this thread being a great example) when their last president issued trillions in debt nation building in the middle east while cutting taxes on the wealthy and creating en lement programs (medicare part D) he had no way of paying for.

The common denominator in most conservative beliefs is hypocrisy

tthong the new dog whistle champion.

[Th'Pusher]

Much like Liberals after Aurora and Sandy Hook don't you think?

Correct. But with conservatives it's 24/7 365 guttural emotional decision making.

not only Reagan tore a new asshole to the national credit card, he ended up growing the government through tax hikes that outdid his cuts... Star Wars

The only president that gave a about the debt was Clinton (D), which along with a GOP Congress managed to balance the budget only for another Republican to come in and go on another debt binge.

Next up for tschlong is comparing the worldwide economy with a household economy

Ironically the household economy is the area where Republicans don't preach the "live within your means!" crap. During most of Bush's presidency they were encouraging people to refinance every time their house's value went up and rack up as much credit card debt as they could.

Ya'll got enough Kleenex on hand for this thread, right?

[Th'Pusher]

Tlong with the predictable emo conservative bads.

[Drachen]

lol cherry picked stats
lol intellectually dishonest disregard for sandwich Bush left Obama to deal with
lol using a chart that shows Obama has cut the deficit as a % of GDP in half since he took office

Its funny how there is no info on 1981 in there. I would imagine that it is left off (rightly) because that budget would be the one passed under the previous president so spending is already set for the inaugural year... Two strange things about this though. Obama is being given responsibility for spending passed under GWB, and, there is no info for 1988 (election year) or 1989 (the last year that spending passed under Reagan would take effect).

Interesting.

Jeezus. The main thing liberals lack is common sense. Only liberals can come up with the idea that amassing huge amounts of debt is a good idea. smh.

Modern Monetary Theory.

Only conservatives can come with the idea that amassing huge amounts of infrastructrure and capital spending deficits is a good idea. SMH.

Do you regard all goverment spending as bad?

Indeed.

I used to regard the Republicans as necessary to reign in the stupider tendencies of Democrats. Now, it is by far the other way around. The GOP has gone off the deep end.

I'm not Dem

so

any of you dumb Repugs got a link?

[Aztecfan03]

The national debt tripled under Reagan while Bush inherited record surpluses and turned them into record deficits.

lol revisionist history about the fiscal irresponsibility of Reagan and Bush
lol Republicans suddenly up in arms about national debt the minute Bush leaves office

Sorry, republicans hated it when Bush was in office.

And that still doesn't change what tlong said.
