ts, I see that Tim F has already provided an excellent response to your deceptively selective querries. <<< "Do you think that the last 8 years in the US have seen sound economic policies?" >>> The simple answer is yes & no. Although I think that the Bush Admin has allowed Gov't spending in many areas to grow far too much, there are several major reasons that the deficit grew [and Bush's economic policies were dramatically affected] that are quite understandable. And as usual you, like most leftists, want to ignore those critical factors in order to make things look much worse than rational thinking people do. Bush took over with a recession already in place. The stock market bubble had already burst deepening the recession further. Then we had the $ trillion plus effects of 9/11 nearly crippling the economy. Then we had the multiple major corporate scandals about to shock the markets & the economy further [all of which began during the Clinton Admin but came to roost under Bush]. Without effective Gov't intervention which included a massive spike in spending things would have gotten much worse. Obama was planning [and continues to plan] a massive increase in Gov't spending. Most of it will be on Gov't run programs that will be a near total waste of our tax dollars because the Gov't is incapable of performing almost any task efficiently or effectively than the private sector [or if left for the private sector to resolve on their own w/o any Gov't intervention or assistance]. And Obama's socialist policies have already been proven by history time & time again as complete failures. And Obama's socialist tax policies will, if implemented, only make a bad situation far worse.
