In reply to the discussion: Krugman: The Great Degrader [View all]hfojvt
(37,573 posts)53. you are approving and supporting a lie right here
you call it an "alleged" lie
Further, I twice said that you IGNORED it. Not that you approved or supported it. Ignore it and go off on a thousand and one tangents.
And Obama told far more than one lie.
The Obama-Bush tax cuts heavily favor the rich. They always did. But Obama always called them "middle class tax cuts". Every time he did that, Obama lied.
Krugman, unlike myself, gave Obama a pass on those lies.
The very same lies that he takes Bush to task for as ONE of TWO examples that Krugman uses.

No, there is no question. Bush was the worse and yes, we may never recover.
