Now She's Concerned About Debt
Last night as part of her speech to the Tea Party Convention Sarah Palin complained about our national debt. So, now that a Democrat is president she has a problem with this country being in debt. I did not see Mrs. Palin complaining when George W. Bush was president. During Bush's eight years in office at least $4 Trillion dollars was added to the national debt. I did not see Palin complaining about how George W. Bush was charging two wars to the nation's credit card while also giving massive tax cuts. Those two wars, the tax cuts, and George W. Bush's Wall Street policies are the main cause of these massive debts.

It was George W. Bush who removed the debt limits on Wall Street banks. That decision helped bring about the financial crisis. So, if Sarah Palin is so angry about our financial situation she should direct her anger toward the Bush Administration. Bill Clinton left the presidency with a officially balanced budget. George W. Bush left the presidency with a $1.3 trillion deficit.

4. No it does not bother wingers unless the Dem's are in power and trying to fix
the economy blunders the wingers created. When they are in power debts don't matter they are not important things are fine and dandy. Lets go on a shopping spree with the Clampets.
