People who are blaming the national debt on President Obama can be described as nothing but ridiculous. It was his predecessor, Former President Bush, who created the debt, spending trillions invading a country we had no business being in, while letting the country slide further and further into recession. After doing so and making no attempt to fix it, he simply handed the torch off to his successor with nothing more than a pat on the back and a “good luck.”
If your house falls into ruin because you had your financial priorities in other frivolous places, the solution to fixing it lies not in cutting spending completely and lamenting the cost of fixing your house. You have to spend money on it in order to fix it. When Bush was pouring money down the drain on Iraq, no one said anything. I guess that sort of spending was fine in the eyes of the people complaining now. But now that Obama is spending money trying to fix American companies and institutions, everyone is up in arms over what they call “out of control spending.”
Are they for real?
