But will it double it?

if the financial markets crash in a similar manner as they did under Bush, then the deficit will more than double.

You mean the crash caused largely by democratic policies in the late 90's? If you really want to discuss this rather that try to play partisan games we could, but I don't think you want to go down that road.


Letting taxpayers keep more of their money is in no way similar to the social justice minded lending policies that eventually led to the 2007 crash.

How many of the failed mortgage banks were backed by Wall Street banks like Lehman Brotgers or Bear Stearns? Funny, our real estate section of the newspaper was littered with ads and rates from fly-by-night lenders no longer in business, but the “community” banks are still here. The idea that the financial crash was caused by democratic policies is false. The crash was caused by Wall Street taking over the secondary markets with little, if any government oversight.

sub prime lending son......that was causality.....who you really believe was behind that is your ignorance shining once again.....
