That’s 200bn too much.
When he was elected the budget was nominally balanced (yes using tricks and gimmicks but on paper it was balanced)
Cheney said “deficits dont matter”.
That’s when this gang lost me and I never supported them. They ran the economy into the wall and by the end of his term bailed out the whole of Wall street when he should have let them all go bankrupt.
These guys have NO clue how to run a government.
HOning the deficit down to 200b after a recession and horrific terror attack is a commendable feat but purists will always find fault.
