Right, wrong, he said, she said.....does it all matter?...What really matters is the fact that we are all heading towards something that will make September 11th look like a pre-school tussle. I feel it in the air, I can feel it slowly approaching like lava, slowly creeping towards us all, and when it's finally upon us, only then will we all know the true magnitude of what everyday life will be like. I can't even fish without feeling as though it will soon be just a distant memory.

You left out the part about the Pelosi-ite and Reid rodse the whole thing down finger pointing and yelling racist as the alrms were going off. They also dumped this thing without ant plan or method to calm the markets. How hard is it to say "credit will continue to flow" from the stooges who sat in the chairs where someone with an ounce of decency could have been? this all happened 3 days after obama went 5 points down in the polls. Over those 3 days obama obama was in epic panic mode!

The recession began with the Pelosi/Reid Congress of which Obama was there. These Democrats have been there 30 years. Can't blame Bush for that. This is solely a Democrats mess.  Nobody can argue that with a straight face- except an indoctrinated fool! Obama debt:GDP is 400% oabove Bush Tear after year after year AND OBAMA HAS CREATED THE Greatest decline AND lowest TOTAL number of jobs since Jimmy Carter. epic fail!

I can't tell you? Watch me. Tell me, how much do the wealthy own and what % of capital gains do they garner every year and what % of nation income do they corner every year? You don't know, obviously. Anyone that knows these facts will insist that the bottom 80% should pay no income taxes. Tax the "job creators" - the only effect it will have is that the wealthy will get wealthier slower. And the good side is that our society will be healthier. Supply side blows when there is no demand.

I also find it incredibly amusing that Franklin D. Roosevelt, who practically invented the the term "deficit spending" along with his proteges, Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy were all artfully left absent from your little chart. In fact I think Bill Clinton is the first democrat to actually lower spending since Jackson. While you should be commended for trying, any effort to blame our national debt on one party or the other is wasted. It is a bipartisan problem.

Are you truly this ignorant? First of all, John McCain got 48% of the popular vote, the Republican Party holds a majority in the House of Reps and Bush got elected twice. So no, everyone does not "hate republicans". Nice chart. Its a shame that it only shows 4 republican presidents out of the 18 who were hatefully elected by the American people and only 2 (really?) democratic presidents. So you are dealing with an incredibly small sample size.

but Reagan put us in HUGE debt. you need to remember it's the Republicans who are the big spenders, not the Democrats. Look at this chart based on US Treasury data. No wonder everyone in our nation hates Republicans.
