Opinions/Editorials Title: GOP Wants To Return Us To Bush-Era Mistakes The whiners and complainers of the country -- tea partiers, far right conservatives, racial bigots, birthers, conservative Republicans and others -- feel that the country is headed in the wrong direction. In 2001, Bill Clinton handed George W. Bush a large surplus in the U.S. treasury, and it took Bush two years to turn it into a large significant deficit. In 2009, President Barack Obama is handed the largest federal deficit in history and an economy close to a real depression due to Republican big spenders who think the only answer is to lower taxes to the wealthy. The Democrats passed the stimulus plan that is getting people back to work, and the economy is starting to move in a positive direction. In addition, Obama has cut taxes for the middle class, as promised, and managed to pass a health care bill with no help from the Republicans. According to the Washington Post, the Republican strategists for the midterm election are planning more tax cuts for the wealthy, a revival of the Bush plan to privatize Medicare by using vouchers and a plan to allow individuals to take their Social Security and invest it in the stock market. Republicans should have leaned their lesson from the current debacle on Wall Street. Republicans should stop using Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin as sources for reliable information. It's like listening to Looney Toons.

Bush a large surplus in the U.S. treasury, and it took Bush two years to turn it into a large significant deficit. Flat out lie as to Clinton having a 'surplus'. He had an accounting gimmick. Second, gee, how much did 9/11 cost this nation 9 months into Bush's Presidency? Over a trillion in the first year alone. Bush screwed up government spending. So did the GOP controlled House. No denying it. But you on the Left need to accept the following: 1. Bush isn't President. 2. House GOP leadership was either fired, or forced into retirement in 2006. 3. Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, Democrats as House Majority, have tripled the deficit in three years. And produced federal budgets that DWARF the GOP budgets of years past. You had your chance. You blew it, just as the Republicans did up til 2006. Now we start with a new group in charge next January. And if they do as the last TWO, we fire them as we did in 2006, and as we are GOING TO DO in the year 2010. For approximately 72K, BP Oil bought Owe-bama. And as President, he let them Spill, Baby, Spill! Its documented. #2. To: Brian S (#0) Yeah, Bush was a total fuck up, but at least he was white.
