yep. Bush during his second election let things fall apart because he was too busy focused on war and when Obama came in he stuck his fingers in a wound that was trying to hell and made it worse.

Spot on stupid.

The dollar is not on the verge of crashing. Headline inflation is 3.2%, inflation is expected to be 3.3% over the next 12 months and the demand for treasuries is so strong that the real rate of return is negative for 5,7 and 10 years.

The rapid growth in the national debt is a consequence of tax cuts. Going back to 97, taxes have been cut continuously with no major tax hikes (and no measurable positive impact on the economy). Tax revenue grew 8% a year from 1970 to 2000. Tax revenue grew 2.3% a year from 2000 to 2011. Spending grew 7.6% a year from 1970 to 2000 but 6.9% a year from 2000 to 2011.

........tax revenue spending (thousands)
1970: 192,807 195,649
2000: 2,025,191 1,788,950
2011: 2,627,449 3,728,686

tax revenue grew 8.1% a year from 1970 to 2000
tax revenue grew 2.3% a year from 2000 to 2011

spending grew 7.66% a year from 1970 to 2000
spending grew 6.9% a year from 2000 to 2011

97-2010 Tax Cuts
Tax Relief Act of 1997
Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001
Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002
Jobs and Growth Tax Relief and Reconciliation Act of 2003
Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005
Stimulus 2009
Extend Bush tax cuts 2010

Whichever party identifies themselves as the tax cut party is to blame for the rapid growth in the national debt.

That pretty much sums it up.

If you have no idea what you're talking about, it certainly does.
