"Why hell, it's because he's spending on a level only rivaled by Roosevelt"
Not true if you go by a % of GDP. Not even close ! Spending under Reagan was 25% of GDP and under Bush it's 17.6%.
I'm not defending spending but lets keep the facts correct !

Not true if you go by a % of GDP. That is such a bogus argument. An immediate alarm that your pocket is being picked by a politician.

Speaking of getting facts straight, Reagan didn't run a deficit over $200 billion that I remember. I'm sure you know what this year's deficit looks like. Look, some of what Bush is having to spend is justifiable. Quite a bit of it isn't.

Right you are. We look forward to the read.
