The fact is the Bush administration did spend way too much and that's why the Republicans were voted out of office in 2006. For the next two years, with Democrats in control of Congress, and despite numerous Presidential vetoes, spending accelerated until the housing bubble burst causing the economic crash. The first two years of the Obama administration, with a Democratic congress, absolutely NOTHING was done to curb the excesses of the Bush Administration and in fact, they substantially increased them creating the nation's first trillion dollar deficits and have made absolutely no effort to roll back any of that spending so we have continued with trillion dollar plus deficits every year and they are projected to continue and even increase far far into our future. And because entitlements have also been increased so substantially under Obama, he has bult a reliable voting block who want those entitlements to continue forever.
And absolutely NONE of that has anything to do with the OP. It was interesting, however, that some of our more leftists folks here though thought it necessary to blame Bush and/or conservatives immediately and also personally insulted people rather than focus on the tone and theme of the OP.
I still think there must be something in the water they drink that automatically triggers that phenomenon and makes liberals unable to discuss any topic without casting aspersions on the other person and/or their ideology or without blaming somebody. And in my opinionTHAT phenomenon destroys friendships both in real life and on message boards.
