Fair enough. Two things though
1) It wouldn't have mattered anyway. The way you get elected is by spending money, the Republicans and Democrats just do it in different ways. Tax cuts or social programs - neither of them are fun for the debt.
2) I'm not a Bush supporter (quite the opposite), but I don't like to point to one specific thing that would make a president horrible. Is the debt unbelievably massive, and has it gotten worse under Bush? Yes. Is that alone reason to call him the worst President in a century? I don't think so. I think you need to be a touch more creative in disparaging the man. [/QUOTE]Should we bring up the systematic alienation of our allies and making us as a nation look like one of swaggering idiots, then?
