Also, I must point out that the damage done to the economy by such terrorists acts.

Also, the deficit must be viewed as a % of GDP. Which, is not at an all time high.

I'm sorry you ladies are pissed the GWB isn't running the country to your specifications. Want me to call Whine-1-1?

Tax cuts without fiscal restraint are meaningless and have virtualy been removed by the massive addition to the defecit. At some point that money has to be paid back.

The govt is not the economy. GWB, for all his pluses when it comes to defense of the nation, has been an utter failure when it comes to fiscal matters. Stell tariffs, farm bills, NCLB, prescription drugs. This isn't LBJ or FDR in office, or is it?

Bush's spending as a percentage of the GDP is lower than both Reagan's and Bush I, and only slightly higher than Clinton's cut-the-military to shreds budget.

Yet, none of them had to deal with a major attack on the U.S. mainland, and the economic aftermath of 9/11.
