(23,061 posts)Debt is worse when it's from a black Dem president, but it's totally AWFUL no matter who the Dem is. Repugs spend the country's money on the rich, so that's perfectly OK.

(966 posts)I love how Paul Ryan is one of the darlings of the Tea Party and far-right - yet he voted for the two Bush tax cuts, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Medicare Part D, and TARP.
Plus, what many right-wingers either don't realize or don't want to realize is that a great deal of the spending that has taken place under President Obama has been a direct result of a continuation of what started under the Bush administration - (i.e. the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Medicare and Medicaid spending growths, etc.)
Ironic how there were no instances of a Republican decrying the national debt before the date of January 20, 2009.
