Bush has never raised taxes, and has never even come close to raising taxes.

Deficit spending is virtually the same thing as raising taxes. The money has to be borrowed and then paid back with interest.

It would be one thing if the deficit spending were all due to military spending but that is not the case. Entitlement spending is the main culprit and we have Bush to thank for that.

Nice try, but that's not true. Interest has been an expense item on the federal budget for 30 years.
