Just out of curiosity, Maria S., can you tell me specifically how GWB's so-called irresponsible federal spending has caused you or your family any harm?
I keep hearing these "sky is falling" type of people, and yet I haven't been able to get a straight answer as to how it has made their lives any worst.
In fact I've been hearing that same "sky is falling" stuff since the 1970s and 1980s.
Ironically, the federal deficit in 2005 is a lower percentage of the entire budget as it was back in the 80s, or so I've read in Financial Times and other publications.
Remember all the teeth gnashing and hair pulling when the Japanese were buying our federal debt back in the 80s, when Hollywood and other anti-Republican anti-American types proclaimed that Japan was the truly responsible country, and would soon be taking over the world???
I do, and in hindsight it was laughable, don't you agree?
Anyway, I am babbling, aren't I. Suffice it to say that the deficit is not causing the cataclysmic end of the world, as some naysayers like to proclaim.
Stay safe. Cheer up.

Once again, I just posted this article to annoy the crap out of those much smarter than I. And that's why I try to always add "just my opinion; counts for nothing."
Personally, GWB's "so-called..." spending has not affected me/my family at all. We have enough money to meet our needs and last us for many years, understand the need for putting money aside for a rainy day (probably a bad saying during these hurricanes!), and we're just pretty darned cheerful about things right now.
