I agree with all of this, EXCEPT that it is "Bush's" lack of spending dicipline. Presidents don't spend. Congress does. True, presidents can veto legislation, and in unusual circumstances it can be done. But in reality, if Congress wants to spend money it is very difficult, from a practical perspecive, for the president to stop it.

Bush came up with the spending request of $87 billion for next year's expenditures on the war. Because Congress must approve it, you blame them and not Bush for this wave of fiscal irresponsibility?
