McCain: I'll Cut Deficits Like Reagan!

More unintentional hilarity from Grampy McSame:

***** "When Senator John McCain was asked here this afternoon how he plans to balance the budget, he said that he hoped to do so by stimulating economic growth - and approvingly cited the example of President Ronald Reagan," the New York Times reports.

.....................

Reagan Tripled the National Debt...

For Tea Baggers supposedly concerned that "deficit spending is out of hand," history apparently began only on January 20, 2009. Because while President Obama rightly resorted to massive deficit spending to rescue the American economy from calamity, it was Ronald Reagan who ushered in the now-standard Republican practice of "spending our children's inheritance."

...................

As predicted, Reagan's massive $749 billion supply-side tax cuts in 1981 quickly produced even more massive annual budget deficits. Combined with his rapid increase in defense spending, Reagan delivered not the balanced budgets he promised, but record-settings deficits. Ultimately, Reagan was forced to raise taxes twice to avert financial catastrophe (a fact John McCain learned the hard way from Tom Brokaw last October).

By the time he left office in 1989,
Ronald Reagan nonetheless more than equaled the entire debt burden produced by the previous 200 years of American history.

Swing and a miss for McCain. Again.

1. McCain and Bunning...

need to take a holiday together and leave us alone.

2. Know why he can get away with such lies? Because republicans are

stuupid...they're allergic to facts.

3. These people are effin' stupid and it is about time the myth that republicants

are fiscally responsible has to end.

[Barack_America]

4. Didn't Reagan famously say that he wasn't worried about the national debt...

...because it was big enough to take care of itself?


That's McCain's tea-party-approved plan? Interesting.

[meeshrox]

5. perhaps it was intentional

To appeal to the Reagan lovers...he's god according to them!

:crazy:

edit to add: not like they know the difference...facts are irrelevant!

[liberal N proud]

6. McCain's mind might be in the same state as Reagan

Doesn't have a clue what he is saying.

[pipi_k]

7. What the....????

Does this mean he's thinking of running again for president?



Or has someone slipped something odd into his prune juice?

[old mark]

9. I think he has been running for President since last year. He is an egotistical

arrogant little fuck, and he CAN'T conceive of the US without John McCain in office in some capacity. At this point, he has almost no support from the right - they think he's "liberal"-and certainly none from the left - we think he's a psycho. I think hs is in serious danger of losing his Senate seat as well, but he lives in a world of illusion as do many politicians.

8. Um, Reagan quadrupled the annual deficit in his FIRST YEAR!

He also shifted the annual deficit from an almost linear growth to one that has more of an exponential appearance, well, other than for the Clinton years when it was not only erased but was replaced by a surplus. The shrub of course eliminated that and set mind-boggling new deficit records.

10. Details and facts don't matter to those corpse lovers.
