The Federal Government has become a bloated bureaucratic disaster, no longer capable of keeping the people's interests at heart. The president is complicit in creating an increasingly unequal and unjust society. His policies have failed, he has spent more than every other President combined and continues to do so. Our federal deficit is wildly out of control.
Here are the ratios of deficit to GDP for the past five presidents:
Ronald Reagan
1981-88 4.2 %
1982-89 4.2
Average 4.2
George H. W. Bush
1989-92 4.0
1990-93 4.3
Average 4.2
Bill Clinton
1993-2000 0.8
1994-2001 0.1
Average 0.5
George W. Bush
2001-08 2.0
2002-09 3.4
Average 2.7
Barack Obama
2009-12* 9.1
2010-12 8.7
Average 8.9
The people deserve better, we deserve honesty, and integrity.
