Bush's Fault ?
A troll?
Gee, way to be a teensy bit too paranoid - pointing out that “Compassionate Conservatism”, I.e. letting spending run amok is bad is hardly controversial on FR. Bush-botism died spring 2007 on FR.
And one of the reasons spending binges are bad is the unfortunate fact that those binges easily lead to tax increases once Democrats take power. To “balance the budget”. Which is what is happening now.
