Guest Blog by Paul B. - Do you remember 1/3/07?
Randy your friend Kevin Fech needs a history lesson since he doesn’t understand how we got in this mess and what changes need to be made.
The changes we need are:
Get Obama out, shake up the Congress with new Conservatives who don’t care for power, but do care about fixing things.
Did you notice how Kevin Fech will not answer in his own blog who, what and why we have the problem and most importantly How to fix it!
This is just a History lesson.
I didn’t write it, but I have check it out on snopes.com
I bet I know who wouldn't read it -- those afraid of the truth. It is history and nothing can change it.

So when someone tries to blame Bush...
REMEMBER
THE
Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving the economy into the ditch.
Budgets do not come from the White House.. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that I voted for, and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th."
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
