[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is the old Ryan plan.  The new one returns the money to medicare.  I agree that Bush let spending run out of control, no doubt about it.  But it should also be noted that treasury receipts under Bush, and under the current Bush tax rates were the highest in history.  [b]This is because a vibrant economy and high employment, which was the case for the majority of the Bush years is the primary generator of tax revenue, not the marginal rates on the upper 2%.  Obama has failed miserably at growing the economy and increasing employment.[/b]

Picking up on your comment of running us into the red, where is your outrage for Obama's 5 trillion added to the deficit in his 3.5 years?  BTW, Afghnistan is Obamas war, he is the one who doubled down and saw only failure.  But I am sure you give him a pass on that too.[/quote]

This bolded comment makes no sense whatsoever.  The GDP under Obama had already exceeded Bush's high watermark by Q3 2010.  So your statement is patently false.
