Bush needs to redo his budget and make much bigger cuts in entitlement programs until the budget is even. I am glad TP agrees. No President should ever allow spending to be more then tax receipts. It is time TP stands up and demands Bush cut spending on wasteful entitlement programs we can’t afford. Comment by Roger_Roger — February 5, 2008 @ 1:45 pm Go to hell Roger_Roger. I am sick and tired of hearing scum like you. F**k yourself. Some day we will deal with people like you in the appropriate manner. I can assure you that I can hardly wait to see you squirm.

Of course, you don't even need to work the numbers to see the growth rate accelerate under Bush. good_golly, if you study the graph, and have a pocket calculator and know how to use it, and aren’t TERMINALLY STUPID, you can figure out that spending rose at 3.7% annualized under Clinton, and 5.2% annualized under Bush.

While it would be nice for him to do something better in his eighth year, we're all going to suffer dearly for the horrible decisions he made through his first seven. And you will have to tell future generations that you were one of his most ardent cheerleaders as he was making these horrible decisions. How's that going to make you feel? He is correct.

We can afford them just fine; the former is even running a surplus. It's "defense" industry spending that's out of control, and has been since Reagan. And every year you borrow-and-spend cons keep feeding those pigs, the more we pay the next to service the debt you morons keep running up.
