democratic splurge? Bush and the Republican congress turned in the biggest deficit in the nation’s history last year. They’ve increased the national debt exponentially faster over the last 6 years than under any other administration.

But then again they’ve cut corporate taxes and taxes on the rich. Too bad out economy still sucks.

I addressed a couple of these points in my “11 ways to fix the country” thread, but Pewter apparantly didnt agree with them so he kept deleting the thread.
