"Borrow and spend" is a completely different animal than "tax and spend". Tax and spend is what Clinton did by raising marginal income tax rates, corporate taxes, et al. Once the government puts a new tax in place, it never goes away. Bush is using temporary deficit spending to fix problems his predecessor allowed to fester and worsen. Granted, nobody here wants to see 3+ trillion federal budgets, but would it have been better if the Democrats were in charge and allowed to implement their SOCIALIST health insurance policies, retirement ponzi schemes, and progressive income taxes to punish acheivement and success?

Right--"Borrow and spend" means defer the tax to your children and grandchildren (or outsource American foreign policy to Peking).
