Debt Clock

As a Florida State graduate, it's a bit embarrassing to me to hear another FSU grad (steyou) state so emphatically that Carter is the root of all this economic mess. Wasn't Carter in office for only four years and wasn't that over thirty years ago? You would think some of these clever Republican presidents could have fixed that in the 20 years they have held the reins. Steyou, it's a lot of fun to hear your misguided remarks, but could you maybe change your avatar?

I did not attend FSU. Just love the school. Carters record speaks for itself. Which avatar would you like for me to use?

Thanks for the clarification. Does that mean Bush's record speaks for itself? I believe he was the president who proposed and signed the first Wall Street bailout bill. (Hint: it happened just eight months ago...not thirty years ago.)

That is certainly a bait question. As a I have said before.. how long are you guys gonna blame Bush? I guess a long time since I am blaming Carter.

I know this wasn't addressed to me but I can't help but feel I can bring something to the table here, sounds like a great topic with which to start a poll post . I'll toss out a first, and personal favorite, option for you that I hope will be a hit amongst the electorate!

In looking at it further I may have to make that my avatar if you don't. You have first right of refusal though. If you would be so courteous as to let me know soon 'cuz I am getting excited just thinking about having this for myself.

in addition to cutting income taxes whilst starting 2 never ending, deficit expanding wars with no exit strategy, bush push hard for private investment of social security monies. now that was true brilliance, and would have been his crowning achievement had he been successful. instead, he created an entirely new level of bureaucracy [homestyle security], and saw the passing of the biggest giveaway to pharma inc. by medicare. bush would make any historians top ten list, and the passage of time will illustrate how helpful he was to his country.

Not sure he controlled the terrorist.

I'm not sure he invaded the right country. Iraq had absolutely nothing to do 9/11 and in seven years of occupation there is absolutely no evidence they ever had weapons of mass destruction. The three trillion dollar war in Iraq coupled with the 800 billion dollars he gave to Wall Street is the mass destruction you guys were so worried about.

Hard to argue there....

I agree.
