Pelosi still blames George W. Bush for the state of our nation.
Recently the plastic scarecrow Nancy Pelosi announced that the real reason the deficit climbed to over 19 trillion dollars is the fault of George W. Bush. She blamed the two unpaid-for wars, the related medical costs stemming from that, and tax cuts for the rich for the more than doubling of the nation debt. It certainly isn’t B. Hussein’s fault. Of course not. However, the bitch is simply wrong.
Behold the numbers:
Revenues | Deficit | B. Hussein spent | |
2009 | 2.1 | 1.4 trillion | 4.5 trillion |
2010 | 2.14 trillion | 1.28 trillion | 3.42 trillion |
2011 | 2.3 trillion | 1.64 trillion | 3.94 trillion |
2012 | 2.4 trillion | 1.1 trillion | 3.5 trillion |
2013 | 2.8 trillion | 687 billion | 3.4 trillion |
2014 | 3 trillion | 485 billion | 3.5 trillion |
2015 | 3.24 trillion | 438 billion | 3.678 trillion |
2016 | 3.28 trillion | 587 billion | 3.85 trillion |
Remember that nearly trillion dollar failed stimulus package? That wasn’t Bush. That was all B. Hussein. And the cause of the recession? The housing bubble crash. The cause of that? The Community Reinvestment Act of 1995 by Bill Clinton. It forced banks to make loans regardless of how toxic they were or how unlikely the borrower would be able to repay them.
See the drop in the deficit in 2013 or so? That was because B. Hussein surrendered in Iraq so we weren’t spending at the same rate. Then we can add the sequestration strangulation (that also impacted almost exclusively the military.
Sorry, Nancy. The 19 trillion isn’t Bush’s fault. You, however… are:
liar–one who tells lies.
insipid–without distinctive, interesting, or stimulating qualities;
vapid–without liveliness or spirit; dull or tedious
You are also out of power. You represent a once beautiful city now over run by vagrants, illegal aliens, and homeless drug abusers and beggars. I find it amazing that enough people are even lucid enough to find a polling booth to reelect your plastic highness. Congratulations on finding your way to being a multi-millionaire during your political tenure. Funny how that happened, isn’t it?
