If the debt was $10.6 trillion when W left, and the $5.7 he - got from Clinton is taken out, then

[ In Reply To ..]
the $5.6 trillion in surplus he also inherited from Clinton (which W vaporized) is added back in, that means Ws tax cut policies and wars STILL added $10.5 trillion to the deficit, huh? It also means that if Clinton had a $5.7 trillion debt and a $5.6 trillion surplus, the budget W inherited was essentially balanced, with a deficit difference of $100 billion (that's billion with a B). Instead of paying the debt down, W opted to give it all to the wealthy and wage wars, then proceeded to create a $10.5 trillion debt ALL BY HIMSELF, which he then handed off to Obama, whose detractors also lie like dogs about by pinning the entire blame on him.

Thanks for clearing that up for us.

huh? - fuzzy math

I'm reading what you are writing and I'm going, huh? Where are these "if Clinton had this and that" then you want to add in this surplus faux that keeps being proved there was no surplus, but hey, it sounds good doesn't matter whether or not its true.

Then I got to the part about W giving it to the wealthy and I went, okay, now I know where the OP is coming from. Then you felt the need to capilize ALL BY HIMSELF and that's where you lost all credibility. Sounds like just another sheople marching to the tune but not doing the research and making up numbers.

Oh yeah, Bush didn't do anything by himself. You don't get it. Bush AND Obama AND Clinton and all the other presidents do not do these things ALL BY THEMSELVES. They take their orders and follow them. It's that simple.

Oh yeah...and those wage wars, jobs going overseas, etc...they stared with yours truly "that depends on what the meaning of is is".

So know exactly where you stand - thanks for clearing that up for us.

You would be able to follow this math had you read - the source article from the OP.

The math is right on the mark and and the post is clear as a bell. The poster's credibility comes from the fact check article and the dollars and cents of it all. Impossible to spin it any other way except where the math takes us and he/she has already gotten us there.

Try reading the source article and post 3 or 4 times, then give it a chance to sink in. I'm sure you can catch on sooner or later. Go on, now. Give it your best shot.

Larry (Harry Reid's brother) claimed he and Harry got into a family argument, then a physical altercation, resulting in Harry being beat up and sent to the hospital. These sources are far more accurate than the source Harry used to try and discredit Mitt. Maybe Harry should have called the Hildabeast since she beat the crap out of Willie Lump Lump regularly.

There was noticeable glee among supporters of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) Tuesday night. The upset victory of Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle in the Nevada Republican primary ensures that the subsequent months of campaigning will be fought as much over her record as his. By Wednesday morning, the flood of opposition research on Angle had burst wide open. Talking Points Memo reported that Angle once "spoke out strongly against fluoride, the substance known alternately for improving ...

He just keeps digging the hole deeper a/k/a foot-in-mouth disease for the reason why he should not be re-elected to office. Now he insults everyone who has trouble accessing and signing up for Obamacare. If he is up for election this year and if he is re-elected, then I think those who vote for him need to see a psychiatrist.

"For cabinet nominees you need 60 and for judicial nominees you need 60, until Harry Reid came along in 2013 and blew up the-60-vote rule, and this is called “the nuclear option,” and Harry Reid decreed — because he ran the Senate, Senate majority leader. He ran it. He was able to ramrod rules changes through. So beginning in 2013, 60 votes were no longer need to affirm presidential appointments, nominations, or judges for every court except the Supreme Court. All you needed was 51 vote ...

This is one article: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is promising an up-or-down vote on the $61 billion in budget cuts passed by House Republicans — just to show that version of the spending bill is “dead” – even if the upper chamber has to debate until 1 a.m. to prove the point. “I hope we have a vote on this today,” said Reid to reporters. “If not, we’re going to go through all this procedural process. They cannot stop us from having a vote o ...

The transcripts for the Ed Show aren't up yet or I'd be able to credit this to the comedienne who came up with it. Apologies for that, but it was too funny not to share: If Harry Reid was the protagonist in Lord of the Rings, it would not be 3 books long. It would be a pamphlet: Strider: Here come the orcs.

"Senate Democrats lost their majority on Harry Reid's watch, but they're closing ranks about him anyway. Most Democrats have Reid's back, prepared to stand by him as minority leader through a tumultuous 2 years as he simultaneously runs for reelection in Nevada."

Most of the Dems also tried to distance themselves from Obama before the midterms and even truly felt that Bill and Hillary Clinton were b ...

'Bout time. Now maybe more will get done after he leaves. He's still trying to block everything that the Republicans try to vote on but he has little pull now that he's no longer the majority leader (thank heavens).I noticed a big difference yesterday when watching the Senate. They were doing a blitz voting binge so they could go home and worked into the night. That's the way it should be done (voting, not the binge voting). Maybe if they wouldn't take so much time off, ...

Badly injured, Harry Reid’s political future was left for dead. It was early 2009, and the Senate Democratic Leader was reeling from the revelation that he praised Barack Obama’s “light skin” and lack of a “Negro dialect.” Polls showed Reid going to the way of his predecessor, Tom Daschle, who lost reelection in 2004, as the Nevadan faced revolt both at home and in Washington, and on both the right and left. Just a third Nevadans said they wou ...

The Nevada Democrat said he expected to be back to full speed soon, and that he planned to run for re-election. But while he was certain about his el ...
