Wonder how much it would be up if you take out the war, and costs directly related to Katrina and 9/11?

Shhhh! You are going to ruin a good Bush-bashing thread.
Also, Florida had a big hurricane year and there was a huge tsunami we pretty much footed the bill for.
My thoughts exactly. It will still be high, because Bush hasn't used his veto. But good grief. People think we can protect ourselves, fight a war on two fronts, pass out money to people living in a bowl and still cut spending? People are so short sighted.

Neal Boortz said spending has gone up under Bush more than any recent president, including Lyndon B. Johnson, even without the war spending.
He's a big spender. The GOP congress was. The new democratic one will be too.
Sometimes I wonder how nice it would be to have less republicans and democrats in congress.

Wonder how much it would be up if you took out the "pork Barrel" projects and "earmarks?
