Bush's debt was largely a result of 9-11, of which this failure to act may have played a large part.
In spite of that, in January 2007 which was the last time we had a GOP President and Congress, the deficit was about 165 billion and shrinking. That was when the Dem controlled Congress replaced the GOP controlled Congress. How have things gone since?
I’m glad to see a few people willing to set the record straight and stand up for a decent man who served his country honorably.
another point that is often overlooked is that during Bush, the congress was fully democrat controlled and even though the executive branch can spend a lot, and even alame duck president has veto power congress must authorize it
