Question for debt Hawks....

[Imac7065]

Where were you in in 2003 when we Invaded Iraq and lost a trillion dollars that was never paid for? Where were you when Medicare Part D was never acknowledged in a budget and drove the deficit through the roof? Where were you when you were handed a 450 billion dollar surplus in 2001.. and rather than pay down the national debt.. the Republicans decided to give rich people a tax cut????

Why is it that debt only matter when a democrat is in office? Why is it you guys can destroy our economy over and over... then when the democrats try to clean it up you scream "what about the debt!"... Are you guys bi polar? Where is the responsibility on the right?

Probably saying this is a bad idea like most on the right. Excepting the war, which I think some reaction need to happen, the rest was garbage. But you were probably for the Medicare plan I would assume? Another entitlement for the masses.....
Fyi, there was no real "surplus " that Bush was handed. It was phony numbers using social security. We still had a debt. And we all got tax cuts.

You fail to realize the Millions of jobs the wars created and most of that money went right back into the economy.

Ok.. you're just lost.. I'm no longer going to respond to anything you write because you are either quite stupid.. or just a troll. I hope for your sake it's the second one.

No doubt about it, establishment Republicans are just as guilty as Democrats when it comes to spending more than we collect and running up the deficit. I am slightly shocked they haven't caved by now and raised the debt ceiling. Then again, they did try to cave, but the Democrats got greedy and refused the deal to see if they could get more.

It only created jobs at Blackwater, and Haliburton who made a paradigm shift from Oilfield Service, to tactical ground supply, because of their presence in-country. There were some dollars spend with Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing and other like this, but they did not increase their employment to meet any need, they already had the inventories stock-piles because they knew that chit was going to hit the fan.

Now in terms of Blackwater and Haliburton, the US Government paid $12,000.00 more per paid Private Service Contracted Employee, than they did if they had used their own troops.

You need to elaborate first when you talk about jobs instead of pulling stuff out of your Jaksie. About 1,000 new jobs were created, not millions, and the cost was astronomical.

I made around $300, 000 over 5 years because of those wars. I volunteered to join the Marines. I knew I could lose my life. And I no issues giving it if it came to it. I came to terms with God.

Bullcrap.

The military grew without a doubt. And with that all military suppliers/cities grew as well. All aspects of industry grew. From food to clothing.
