You're smarter then this.

Weapons of Mass Destruction Mission Accomplished The decision to invade Iraq will go down in history as an indefensible exercise of American power 4,500 U.S. troops were killed waterboarding Patriot Act

Again, not likely to have ever happened, had Bill not dropped the ball, covering up his scandals.


Who decided to invade Iraq?

We were fighting the correct enemy in Afghanistan...but hey...that wasn't a big enough arse kicking so we decided to piss stomp a second mideast nation.

Inherited a surplus from Bill Clinton and promptly gave it away by cutting taxes in a way that disproportionately benefited the wealthy.


Did we or did we not have a surplus prior to W.

False bubble created under Clinton, because of Dem policies.


Who handed the money out again?

But hey, hang on to your beliefs just how they are now.

They serve you so well.

Yep. Iceland went the opposite route and it might not have been painless, but they have lower unemployment and aren't that much worse off in terms of debt.

They (unlike the D's and RINOs) were smart enough to realize it doesn't make sense to throw more money at the people who created the mess.

Both Congress and Bush. A lot of people based on the intelligence given.

There was a surplus, but the national debt continued to increase. So there were surpluses, yet the national debt continued to rise. Hmmm. How could this be? Would you like to take a stab at that one?

I didn't agree with the bailout, either. But the bubble was not started under Bush. Bush actually tried to reform Fannie and Freddie years before the bubble burst, but the Democrats in congress wanted none of it.
