Sure, blame it on George Bush. It has nothing to do with decades of atrociously short-sighted budgeting and statist economic policy.

No Scarlet is a french wannabe, they rejected his application for citizenship based on his uber lameness. Even America won't be shamed by the likes of hes pansy arse. He learned french in university and has been obsessed ever since. The majority of the US deficit is the direct result of 2 wars one perceived necessary and the other just a can of bullshite that exploded our debt. The great thing about facts is that they can be checked or proven. Check them and prove us wrong, if you can...Scarlet.

Both parties in the USA are to blame for the high debt.

More important did my karaoke bill get passed in the house?

When did I learn French?

Actually, Wendy doesn't know that the war spending is not counted as part of the budgeted expenses. Therefore, it is impossible for it to be a factor in the budget deficit. The great thing about ignorance is that it's readily apparent.

Yeah, great logic moron...


You aren't a politician, don't confuse yourself by trying to reason like one. Money, however spent on war or whatever it is the same shite. Debt, no matter how created is the same shite... the bill collector wants his money regardless. You'll need to be more clever to get that over on me, dust yourself off and try again.

Was that your "I'm so smart and you're so stupid", routine? Phailbot you are.

You excuse the facts and replace it with useless information... way to deflect. I'm still waiting for some Facts

I won't hold my breath...

Oh, look. I found a table. The wars would account for only a portion of the third category. What do you suppose the rest of this is?

Facts seem to indicate that most of the additions to the debt were not war.

2 wars in the last 8-10 years account for a Third of the debt compared to all the rest of the debt accumulated in US history. And this is your supporting fact? Can you be this dense? Or do you presume everyone else is?

You clearly can't do math.

The table I provided displayed that the wars account for a portion of the debt added in 2008 whose total was $379B. Another portion of this same section was the Economic Stimulus of that year which accounted for $152B. 379 - 152 = $227B. This means that only a maximum of about 20% of the added debt of that year was on account of the wars. This would mean that over 80% of the debt added that year was not a result of the wars.

In any case, the total spending for both wars amounts to $1.09T. [source] The current US debt is $13.8T. [source] As you can see, this is clearly not a third. Now, tell me . . . what do you suppose the other debt is from?

You are DEAD Wrong, Click the link and Scroll down to this heading Heritage Foundation’s Analysis is Misleading

Where you find Facts Like These :

A recent Heritage Foundation report claims that tax cuts and other policies initiated during the Bush administration are not a significant factor behind the deficits we face in the coming decade.[10] Heritage places blame for the deficits squarely on rapid growth in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and interest costs, and dismisses the significance of weak revenues in general and the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts in particular. But Heritage's analysis is both misguided and seriously misleading.
