Democrats need to pay attention because the damn Republicans (rumP)

Last edited Sat Jul 20, 2019, 10:13 AM - Edit history (1)

are going back to the Obama's deficit after he saved GM and saved the economy after he inherited the Tillion dollar deficit from Bush.
They got away with this shit in 2010 because Democrats had no backbone then to fight back and they were overwhelmed with defeat in Congress by the T Party.
This needs to be addressed and the Media forced to report this issue that Bush's Fed Chairman bailed out the banks and loaded up the deficit ...Obama made all the right moves to save the economy and still got blamed for the deficits....(most of that "Bush" money went to Republican bankers who outright swindled us.)
Republicans have always had a way of blaming Democrats for the huge deficits and in most cases they have accomplished their goal.

Instead of continuing with the Trump Corporate Welfare Handouts, should make the mega corps and mega wealthy pay their fair share. The US government has a revenue problem, not a spending problem.

This is where the Democrats message failed, because W and his congress kept passing "Emergency' funds for the Iraq war, and Obama insisted that it go on the budget. So while it did increase the budget expenses under Obama, the cause of it was the illegal war against an unarmed people.

It is primarily based on holdover from Obama's term. Wall Street is cruising on the Trump Tax Breaks, but the rest of the country is feeling inflation creeping up.
