LMAO, same old soundbites!
Id rather see gamling fail than the country, sorry
Obama makes bush look like a penny pincher. And I didnt like Bush’s spending at all.
OK, we do agree on something.
Spending on guns for oil is just as bad as pork barrel projects.

I also liked the Bush era, in the beginning. He inherited a strong economy and a balanced budget. But he bungled both so badly, got us into 2 wars and deceived everyone with his ludicrous WMD.
More people died in those wars than 9/11 and are still dying today!
I never liked Clinton either, but at least he left Bush in good shape. But then after 8 eight years Bush managed to leave Obama with a total mess. After less than 4 years how could anyone dug us out of that hole.
Actually he inherited a recession, most people overlook the internet bubble bursting. On top of that the military was stripped from the “savings” before him. So Clinton did not really leave Bush in a great shape, the tax reductions Bush did INCREASED federal revenue, just as predicted and we had a strong boom in economy and jobs. Then the SECOND term of Bush there was a major change, a democratic congress led by Pelosi took over control. Hence we saw a vast decline in the Bush ara, also 911 was a financial burdon as well. I cant stand the trillions spent on bailouts, war ext, but Obama has spent more in 3.5 years than Bush did in 8 with demo congress! Democrats want you to rely on goverment, while Republicans simply want everyone to prosper so they do not need to ask for anything from the goverment. Then there are simply people that can not, and this is where you see Conservitives give more to charity over 20 Fold on even the uppermost ranking democrats.
THe country was founded on having the smallest goverment possible, this led to largest change for good in the worlds history that spread across the planet. Now we are supposed to revert back to what we founded the country against in the first place for free ****?
I also like the idea of less government, but unfortunately government control is needed and here to stay.
The dot.com meltdown did not mess up the countries economy. The unrestrained free wheeling Corporate CEO’s, Boardrooms and Wall Street power brokers pushed the entire world toward recession. That was the result of the Republican free enterprise ideal.
But change does not take place overnight and Congress is essentially ineffective. The President and those that put him in office are in charge and in contol (and I’m not talking about the voters than can be misled with advertising, sound bites and misinformation like WMD). Congress can only nitpick and make minor changes to whatever the Pres submits.
Stripped down military spending did not prevent Bush from starting a few wars. And we sure have enough of it now. Remember that Vietnam was upscaled by another Republican Texan oil man. And Nixon didn’t need any congressional resolution to bomb Cambodia or Laos.
The Russians also had trouble with Afghanistan, why would we have fared any better to stablize a country that was a mess for centuries. Reagan had the right idea with Grenada – get in and get out!
But no one is blamless when it comes to the current spending madness! Not even the anti-spending politicans are refusing to accept and spend the money.
Both the dems and the reps spend waistfully but our national debt has tripled in the last few years !
next time I want to sell them those $700. screwdrivers so I can profit $693. a screwdriver plus handling and shipping charge !:colgate:
Hmm, we could argue each point, its better to research on your own though, and then also look at the sources you have your current ideas from.
bush did inherited a bad economy. I worked for nortel networks and my exit interview was 11 years ago yesterday 9/11/01 so I remember it well. my exit interview was scheduled months before it actually happened.
The reason I left high tech and became an affiliate is the pay never increased. If I look for a job today it will be at or only slightly better than the rate I started Nortel back in 1994.
but apples to apples, bush created 3 million jobs, the first job created 30 months into his term, in the end he netted only 1.1 million jobs if you factor in the 2000 recession, 9/11 and the start of the great recession losses. Bush did have two very high tax revenue years, 2006 and 2007. They were exceptional but not records.
The great recession 2008-2010 lost more jobs about 850K more than the last 6 recessions combined dating back to the 1960’s. the only worse period was the job loss in the great depression and about 4 times as many as the 2000 recession(2.3 million jobs lost.)
If you take the number of 8-10 million jobs lost (for the Great recession) it is true Obama did add 4.5 million jobs in the last 29 months he’s still at a net loss of about 50-60% for jobs.
for comparison, clinton created 22 million jobs, reagan 18 million and yes, carter 10 million.
I’m going to go back to the original post.
Is legal, regulated online gambling in the US a good thing for affiliates? I’m starting to think we’ll get screwed, just look at some of the language coming out of Nevada.
