Thank you for confirming my suspicions that those who take the immoral low road of Neocondom understand nothing of history, of politics or of economics. Shrubbery is driving us in to a record deficit:

I am always open to factual correction but this is what I recall:

At this point in the admin, how many spending bills had he vetoed?

Reagan - 22
Shrubbery - 0

For nonessential (i.e. excluding things like defense) budgetary items, how do Presidents rate in their spending?

Reagan - DOWN 13%
Clinton - DOWN 1%
Shrubbery - UP 22%

------------

Even if you side with Shrubbery on every other subject (remember, he was a C student but with great legacies), understand that he is the single most incompetent, spendthrift executive in modern history.

His admin was mocked by Congress because of the amount it had put into the 2004 budget for Iraq --- $0. A blustering Wolfowitz said it was $0 because the admin had no idea how much would be required and they did not want to have to come back and revise an actual number upwards.
