    Here is what you actually said.
    So again I ask, what law did the 2007-8 Congress pass that was responsible for the Great Bush Recession?

    Correct. .009% go to veterans pensions.

    64% goes to low income healthcare benefits & 33% go to income security programs.

    Once again you seek to compare the two presidents as I once again simply point out Obama's 2% GDP and the fact that he's the first president never to achive an annual GDP of 3%. Your efforts to change the subject to me in order to avoid these facts about Obama is typical leftist tactics.

    You do realize that statistic is based on serving a full term don't you?

    The Democrats refused to pass any new laws preventing the Carter/Clinton mortgage crisis from happening.

    OK...what did Obama every accomplished in the private sector ?

    (Nobody got their diapers all wadded up because LBJ kept managing his cattle ranch as POTUS)
    You know if we look at the past post FDR Presidents only five actually held down a job in the private sector and all some what successful some more than others.

    LBJ ran a cattle ranch and as President he spent hours on the phone every day while in the Oval Office while micromanaging a war from 10,000 miles away running his cattle ranch..

    Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer.

    Reagan, lifeguard, sports radio announcer, movie actor, as a liberal ran a union.

    G.W. Bush (43), drilled for oil and owned and ran a professional baseball team.

    Donald Trump, very successful real estate developer.

    Obama attended college during the affirmative action era.
    If it were have been the 1970's or the 90's Obama would have never gotten further than attending a community college and would likely be getting close collecting a big pension after driving a garbage truck in Hawaii.

    Um, because you've asked a series of questions pertaining to my statement that under Obama, spending for benefits for means test programs surpassed military spending to which I answered. I feel we are traveling in a circle here.

    I know. I’m asking why you find that relevant or important?

    The majority of Americans.

    Why do you feel making **** up is a valid argument or rebuttal?

    Obvious you never read the Zogby exit polling during the 2008 Presidential election.

    Close to 90% if the low information Americans who voted for Obama actually believed that Sarah Palin said "I can see Russia from my house."

    Sarah Palin never said it, she said "You can see Russia from Alaska."

    It was Tina Fay on SNL who said "I can see Russia from my house."

    Exit polling showed that a large number of Obama's voters got their news from "Comedy Central" and SNL.

    It's all about context of the discussion. My original post spawned due to this post.
    upload_2019-6-12_9-34-57.png

    It was merely about spending of the left and right. One was advocating Obama was in better control of spending. I merely segued that into Obama was the only president to spend more on means test benefits than military spending. It's context of the discussion that gives it relevance.

    Bush was at the helm, so he was responsible.

    Yeah well. Dems took control of congress. Yet the republicans still claim their success of how the economy is going because Trump is at the helm. So I'm calling your argument bullcrap.

    Good lord. If 50% of the US earns on average less than 15 bucks an hour,... my point/question... and 50% of the US earns much more than 15 bucks an hour.... than indeed you could end up that the average of the 100% is indeed 23.38.

    Hence... you're not denying or confirming a thing with that source.

    Actually it did happen under Bush. His guy, Alan Greenspan, decided to not regulate derivatives anymore. That is when it all started. It is as simple as that. Then it became a free for all, for all the greedy bankers. Greenspan should have gone to jail for what his action caused. He said, years later, it's the biggest mistake he ever made.

    I'm wondering if the bottom 50% still earns 15 bucks an hour or less. I mean... you're just not adding anything to this.

    Obama was a marxist community organizer.

    Notice we never got to see Obama's no doubt brilliant law articles.

    Michael Obama's academics were terrible as well.
