He ran as a compassionate conservate that wouldn't spend the social security surplus. I know we had Clinton recession, 9/11, and 2 fairly minor wars compared to WW2.

But the Moon and Mars Trip, the NEA increase, Farm Bill, Eduction Dept increase and all the pork continuously every year in Omnibus bills. BUt not one VETO.

He may have learned the lesson on raising taxes, but he has abnesia on reducing spending.

BUt not one VETO.

I wonder if a President has ever made it through a whole term without vetoing a single bill?

Keep it up, Georgie Boy, and watch what happens.

You'll be getting a chance to work the counter at the Crawford Gift Shop about 4 years sooner than you think.

...the Moon and Mars Trip, the NEA increase, Farm Bill, Eduction Dept increase and all the pork continuously every year in Omnibus bills...not to mention that the new Medicare drug program has already been upped in estimated cost from four hundred million to five hundred million before even going into operation - smaller government indeed......

Bush's deficits are about the size of Carter's budgets.

but he has abnesia on reducing spending.

Sorry Bush...but you can't win by gaining lefties and losing your base. The left already has a party. You are destroying yours.

Not to worry, this is just a gentleman's bet between Ted Kennedy & George W. Bush about who could stupidly spend the most taxpayer money in the shortest period of time. So far, Bush is winning, big time.
