And according to other sources it isn't fake. Guess we can call that FakeNews

Politifact.com

A Facebook posts says, "Bush ‘borrowed’ $1.37 trillion of Social Security surplus revenue to pay for his tax cuts for the rich and his war in Iraq and never paid it back."

By law, the Social Security surplus is converted into bonds, and the cash is used by the Treasury to pay for government expenses. If we agree that this is "borrowing," every president since 1935 has done it, to fund all sorts of things. Even if Bush "borrowed" from the surplus, the amount is more like $708 billion, and the borrowing wasn’t earmarked for a special purposes.

As for not "paying back," the bonds won’t need to be repaid until 2020.

Overall, the claim is misleading and confuses many points. So we rate it Mostly False.

Bush screwed the Middle East up a lot. I didnt like Bush either. But when Russia and Syria were bombing and using chemical warfare against there own people back in 2012 Obama did nothing. Everyday explosions went off and people were killed and there was no sign of the USA anywhere. Several countries were destabilized and ISIS grew bigger than ever when we pulled out all at once, allowing them to come in and take land.

Bush destabilized the Middle East. What was he supposed to do ? He asked congress for permission which they denied(rightfully, for the wrong reasons though.)

The last sentence is incorrect.

It shouldn't have been borrowed by him or any other president. I, like gore, completely support a lockbox system

Everyone is liking a post saying GGD should ban me for posting this official government document. It is like by saying facts that are ANTI Obama I should be thrown off. That is basically communism. I don't support Trump, when I post Anti Trump articles, everyone is happy, as soon as I post something Anti Obama, a lot of people turn on me.

No it is not:toofunny: When we pulled out of the Middle East ISIS took over a lot of land. Military leaders said when we pulled out of Iraq so quickly, ISIS took over

What really made me angry at Obama was when Russia and Syria were killing there own people in Syria, he did nothing. I felt like he mishandled the Middle East very badly, as well as Bush, and we will have to see with what Trump does with Syria.

So far under Trump more civilians are being killed then under Obama. So I don't have much faith in his policies.

That said, he did say "something should happen" in regard to Assad's use of chemical weapons, so we will see what happens with that.

I like his UN Official, Nikki Haley. She looked Russia's Agent right in the eye and said, "How many more children have to die before we do something?" I like her, she was the one that got the confederate flag taken down from South Carolina's Building

It's actually kind of annoying to me tbh, it is not liberal to demand censorship. Anyone who advocates for banning a person based on their political views is not a true liberal or progressive.

And then she stayed silent when asked "What about refugees?"

They are using Syrian deaths for their own agendas.

I will say that any wrongdoing under the Obama admin is not tolerated. And that goes for any other past, present, or future admin. However, I think you should be also talking about Julian Castro if this is actually a significant finding.
