It takes two to tango. You ought to know that. The President and Congress. Both had been Republican but debt went uncontrolled when Bush took office. And the buck stops where?
1996 $4.9 trillion in federal debt
2001: $4 trillion in federal debt
2007: $9 trillion in federal debt
Or is that just some kind of coincidence?
 Global warming started under Bush. Didn't you know.

I agree the pork spending is out of control. But if you didn't realize, a war is going on. Are you one of those Democrats who wants to end funding it? And the Democrats control the purse strings now. I think Bush should veto alot of the crap coming in front of him. It's unfortunate that the Democrats have tied almost everything to war funding. And at this point, most people agree that this failed Congress is disappointing to say the least. I think as of this week, they're at a paltry 11% approval. Hanging by a thread.
And by the way, using your logic, terrorism started under Bill Clinton.
If he had done his job, maybe this war wouldn't have been so expensive.
