DF...Can you please explain to me why the teabaggers weren't outraged when it was Bush & the GOP Congress spending like "drunken libchits"? Were YOU interested in town hall meetings back then?

Yes I would have at a Tea Party back then when Bush was President but I could see where the money was going with two wars going at the same time. I suppoeted the wars but not the nation building. We should have done our bombing and got out. Then go back and do it again as needed.

I didn't attend the Tea Partys but I was in support of them. Cy you say less than?% of the pop went. There was probably thousands like myself that didn't go because they can't walk or stand that long. I didn't go because the wife can't walk that far and I can't stand that long.

So you're saying that all the tea baggers are old? In other words, all of them are on medicare, and thus a government funded healthcare system? Because that would be hilariously ironic.

No, the reality is there just aren't that many of them.

DF--We still know where the money is going and we still have two wars going on at the same time. So what's the difference? The fact is that there were no tea parties when Bush was President. The spending was not only on the wars. Bush was the one that started the bailouts among other things, but the teabaggers didn't care about that back then. They're only outraged if it's a Dem president spending.

Why did you support the Iraq war? Why would we bomb Iraq & leave? I understood when we went to war with Afghanistan bc Al-Qaeda attacked us and the Taliban was assisting them...But why attack Iraq?

Thats one of the things that POd me the most about Bush. The 400 Billion for Obama. What did he get from Obama but criticism.

Just pointing this out, but revised estimates show that we will probably get 90% of the bailout money back... a lot has already been repaid... out of the whole package, only 42 billion is expected to be a wash.

So... that's pretty good.

I was in favor of the tarp plan and bailouts when it started under bush and I continue to say that it was the correct decision that had to be made... and the fact that we DIDN'T just pizz almost a trillion dollars away just cements my feelings on that.

DF---I didn't know Bush gave Obama $400 billion. How generous of him! I'm surprised that didn't make the news! What did Obama do with all that money? Did he spend it on bling for Mrs. O & some new rims for his Escalade? Laughing

Excellent idea, George! Then all the Senior citizens that live off SS will no longer be allowed to vote since they don't pay taxes anymore! Smile
