"According to the Treasury Department, from 1776-2000, the first 224 years of U.S. history, 42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions, but in the past four years alone, the Bush administration borrowed $1.05 trillion"
Is this true? Seems to be to be complete irresponsiblity on the part of Bush if it's true.
What rock have you been hiding under?
How about the Democrats in Congress?
Where is their blame?
Technically, it's not true. The President himself has no authority to spend money: the President proposes, Congress disposes. Bush however, has sent budgets up to the hill whose increased spending defies imagination. Congress added in there own pork, and he has yet to veto a single spending bill since he got into office.
So, yeah, he's responsible, and so is the Republican-led Congress. Pretty disappointing, isn't it?
It is complete irresponsibility by Bush and Congress. There are about 536 fools in D.C. All you have to do is check http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdpenny.htm to see how much the U.S. is in debt. It is absolutely ludicrous, irresponsible, and selfish the way these fools spend our money. No control. No vision. Out of touch with reality. And it will not get better until we have a President with the guts and courage to tell Congress that if they give him a budget that exceeds X, the only thing they will see coming out of his pocket would be a big veto pen. If I were President, I could and would do just that.
