that only benefited the super wealthy.

In 2000 America's national debt was $5 Trillion. But, we were running large budget surpluses after Bill Clinton's presidency. Clinton had actually began to pay down our national debt.

Had we stayed on that pace, even with economic downturn we could've continued to balance our budget and possibly continue to pay down our debt. By now, we might even have been debt free.


But let's say we still owed $3 Trillion. That's a helluva lot better than the $13 Trillion debt that we are approaching.

Balanced budgets = a strong dollar, the foundation of our economy.


Bush was willing to sacrifice the fiscal health and stability of our nation's future to enact his fiscally reckless Reagan-tried-but-failed tax cuts that only benefited the wealthy.

Our economy has been damned since.

Zero net job growth from 2000-2010.

Tax burden shifted from the uber-rich to the Serf.

Our nation has collapsed since the 2003 Bush tax cuts.

Sacrificing your nation George, is a helluva price to pay for your fucking greed.

I hope you enjoy your worthless almighty deflating dollar.

Proves that the GOP is the fucking enemy of the people.
