When Bush took office the federal debt was 5.8 trillion when Bush left office the debt was 11 trillion. Bush was a big government, big spending republican. As a conservative I do not like big government, big spending political parties. Which is why I am not a democrat or a republican. Until the republicans repudiate Bush and his failed policies no one (with a brain) will ever trust the GOP again.
2. I can gaurantee you that Democrats created 99% of the government , and its tyranny and spending associated with that government. for example democrat congresses created social , security and medicare and medicaid which alone account for over 132 $ trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities. bush nor the GOP created this. do you people understand mandatory spending? the only way to bush and GOP to stop this mandatory spending increases would have been Repeal of medicare etc. but then that would require at least 60% of the senate in Republican hands and a fair media . the media controls all of you with mind control and you have no understanding of mandatory spending etc. Bush and GOP didn't make budge by scrath, practially all gov spending was mandated by law already , automatically, for example Bush couldn't decree to stop printing social security checks which are trillions of $. NO congress would have to repeal the law to do that.
3. the media of course wanted to blame Bush for this mandatory spending that democrats created. And the media did blame him for that in order to affect YOUR mind to get it into your head that the GOP are big government types and so to make you stop supporting the GOP. hence we got Obamacare and soon the government will own everything and you have no rights but you get to bitch for a few times on an internet board about how bad the GOP is , when you lose all your individual rights and you will go on blaming the GOP and never knowing how the media conned you , got you to vote or not vote for your own rights.
