"90% of it was handed over to him by Bush" This is from a person that said "you ain't going to hear a bunch of stats out of me cause I don't need um"

Bush ran up the deficit by by $4,350,546,687,025.54 in 8 years. which is 32% of the current deficit not 90%

If Bobert wants to revise history and claim Bush "owned" the '09 deficit then he is saying Clinton "owned" the 2001 deficit and did not hand the mythical surplus to Bush. Bush was handed the deficit that Clinton left which was $5,807,463,412,200.06 9/30/2001, $133,285,202,313.20 higher than it was the year before.

However I do want to compliment Bobert for actually writing some thing out and attempting to engage in a debate without nasty personal attacks atleast in that one post. Thank you for that Bobert.

"the "annual" deficit which deals with only a yearly snapshot of how an administration has done in a one year period..." was $17.9 billion the year of the mythical "surplus". It increased. If there was a surplus it would have shown up as a decrease.

Mr Firth is welcome to cut and paste anything he wants and we can discuss the factuality instead of trying to discredit it based on the source.

That is an Ad hominem circumstantial logical fallacy. It is an attack on the bias of a source. This is fallacious because a disposition to make a certain argument does not make the argument false; this overlaps with the genetic fallacy, an argument that a claim is incorrect due to its source.
