RaiderHaters Revenge 3,578 Posted November 16, 2017 Obama didnt enact the Bush tax cuts or get us into war with Iraq and Afghanistan Did the deficit double under his rule? Nixon took over during Vietnam, did his deficit double, or are we just too busy sucking Obama to look at it objectively Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted November 16, 2017 I am not a big fan of these tax cuts, I have generally opposed any increase to the deficit including the increases that both the Democrats and Republicans were responsible for recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobb_deep 917 Posted November 16, 2017 Obama didnt enact the Bush tax cuts or get us into war with Iraq and Afghanistan Not to mention the stimulus and extension of unemployment benefits helped create the wave the Dotard is riding right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beyond Chaos 75 Posted November 16, 2017 Obama didnt enact the Bush tax cuts or get us into war with Iraq and Afghanistan As dumb as those 2 things were, it doesn't change the fact that Obama added about $9 tril to the national debt to $19 tril from $10 tril (nearly double but technically 86% according to linked article). He's also the only president to be at war everyday of his 8 year term. Don't worry, we'll see if Trump can beat those numbers if he serves for 8 years of course. http://www.businessinsider.com/national-debt-deficit-added-under-president-barack-obama-2017-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMMensaMind 459 Posted November 17, 2017 Tax cuts have resulted in an increased rate of revenue collection to the Government every time they're tried. Tax cuts, therefore, cannot be responsible for increasing the deficit. Period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
