A CHALLENGE TO ALL RIGHTARDS!

Here's a challenge to all rightards. List the Bu$h administration's accomplishments. Go ahead. Just try. <snicker>

The National Debt at the end of 2000 was 5.5 trillion. Today it is 8.45 trillion. That is an increase of 2.95 trillion. It took from 1990-2000 for the National Debt to increase 2.95 trillion.

At the rate Bush is going (500 billion per year) he will take on another 1+ trillion dollars to the National Debt before he departs office.

No problem. He beat that idiot Gore in 2000 and he beat the Kerry imbecile in 2004. Those were his best accomplishments.

Damn, 2.95 trillion in 6 years vs 2.95 trillion in 10 years. Considering the fact that the US economy is much larger today than it was back then, Clinton's track record is no better. Possibly even worse. Thanks for the info, dolt.

And BTW, the surpluses of the nineties were due to the Reagan tax cuts of the eighties. The only thing Clinton did was to happen to have his worthless ass sitting in the oval office when it all came to fruition.

The US State Department, not 'leftist BS', reports that terrorism increased sharply in the past three years.

Bush's budget also doesn't include the hundreds of billions of dollars a year we're spending on the Iraq war.

That's hilarious. The deficit itself is the 'accomplishment' of the tax cuts. That is it 'smaller than expected' is merely cynical toying with numbers. But there was a huge *surplus* when Bush took office, and he turned it into a huge *deficit*, even if he expected to turn it into an even larger deficit. It's still not good.

That's what you right-wingers said about Clinton's policies - that they would ruin the economy and cause huge deficits. Instead we had the biggest and longest growth in history AND surpluses in the budget. But facts are facts, and the fact is that now we have a huge deficit.

And so you list that as an 'accomplishment' of George Bush?

Very eloquent. Did you win trophies in your high school debating society? You're very persuasive.

Actually, if you check the records, you'll see that Reagan's big tax cuts in 1981 resulted in lower revenues (even as the economy grew) and large deficits. http://mediamatters.org/items/200509160008 Then, when Reagan signed the largest tax increase in US history in 1982 (TEFRA) and another tax increase in 1984 (Deficit Reduction Act of 1984), revenues climbed again. Unfortunately, so did spending under Reagan's budget - spending on the military.

But if you're going to claim that Clinton's remarkable performance with the economy was the result of Reagan's policies (somehow ignoring 4 years of Bush 41), then you'll have to attribute any economic growth now to Clinton's policies, eh?

No terrorist attacks on US soil since 911, how about that one.

Maintaing control of congress in an off year election (rarely done check your history books on it, assuming you can read of course).

Keeping economy out of severe down turn that was begining at the end of the Clinton administration.

NO BLOW JOBS IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
