Thread: Dems rant about Bush blowing a surplus. Exactly what has the Dem...

...Legislature in California done other than? ... raise spending by 50% in 4 years?

Did Arnold force them to increase benefits for immigrants, healthcare, etc etc etc etc?

We had a 45 billion surplus and the Dems spent it. Instead of working on the budget they were trying to get a law through that would ban kiddie Mylar balloons. This State spends around 15 billion a year on benefits for illegal aliens. The State and local Redevelopment Agencies take our property taxes to give to the developers so they can use eminent domain to take your property. Taxes that should go for Police and Fire protection and schools. The developers are the largest lobbying group in Sacramento. I didn't vote for Arnie. I went with McClintock. Arnie is a goof.

Additional: For "Peter" above. The surplus that Clinton claimed came from Social Security. Read the March 1999 Congressional Budget Office report. Clinton raided S.S. for 158 billion and raised taxes by 89 billion.

I temporally live in california one one of the most beautiful state god ever blessed. if you want to see what liberals will do to your state come to california.

I will give you some ex wages are high and unions are everywhere so you say great right ...wrong if you don't want to live in the ghetto a decent apartment will run you $2000+ a month the state is loosing 150,000 people a year because when you retire and your income drop how the hell do you pay 20-30k for property taxes on your 800k overinflated home, that's why californians are headed to Arizona, New mexico, Nevada they just can't take it anymore

Bush never blew the surplus… that’s typical DNC propaganda. Clinton blew it. If you look at the numbers, things started going to hell the last half of Clinton’s reign.

Now on to the question…

Even if bush did blow the surplus, Obama just killed it for the next forty years with his stimulus package. Do the numbers and you will see that our grand children will be paying it off. Why do you think he doesn’t care about it, he will be long out of office by then.

the dems did the same thing to washington state. when our dem goveror took over in 2004 there was a surplus. acording to her campaign ads there was a surplus on nov. 3rd, then on nov 5 we are 6 billion in the hole. more per capita than cal.

Bush didn't have a surplus. That is Clinton's skewed figures. We all know how good Dems are at math. Budgets and deficits are two different things. Bush added to the deficit.

What Arnold did in CA is more of a crime. Those people who live out there need to get him out of office.

Surely nobody can force Arnie to do anything. Haven't they seen Terminator?

A 1.4 trillion national deficit? Pfft, its cool, Obama can do no wrong.

There hasn't been a TRUE Surplus since the 70's, just fudged numbers on paper. Both sides have not balanced or exceeded in the last thirty something years. Anyone that thinks they have is an idiot loon.
