President Bush should have held the line on spending -- with a slight exemption for defense, due to the war on terror. We are now is serious trouble, economically. It's my view that Obama actually wants to bankrupt us.

- Republican Congress from 1995 - 2006: $1.6 trillion budget deficit.

- Democratic Congress from 2007 - 2009: over $1.7 trillion budget deficit.

Looks to me like the Republicans are being made to look very frugal by the Democrats.

Yeah, it’s kinda funny to see Republicans waiting until a week before Bush leaves office to start worrying about deficits. From what I gather, Obama wants to cut taxes and raise spending. Sound familiar?

If your crops fail, eating your seed corn will fend off hunger - but only temporarily and will make the next famine even worse with no crops at all.

We're doing the same with these Trillion dollar bailouts and stimulius packages.
