Bush "squandered a record surplus on tax cuts for the rich and drove us deeply into deficit and debt," Conrad said in a press release.

Dirty liar. Tax cuts were not the problem. Tax cuts combined with out-of-control spending were the problem.

You scum-sucking Congressmen, along with Bush's willingness to sign off on YOUR "anything-goes" spending, IS the problem. Both the Executive and Legislative branches have utterly failed their duties on spending.

How can he claim it was tax cuts. Like you said FV, spending is the real culprit and it must be stopped if we are to survive as a nation. Perhaps one day we’ll go back to a federal government that restricts its spending to Constitutional limits.

I used to say ‘tax relief’ without government cutbacks was merely ‘tax suspense’.
