<<< Its pretty much impossible to do a good job at balancing spending and revenue when you increase spending by about 50% during your administration.>>> Isn't the principles of balancing the budget the same with managing a budget of the United States as it is with managing your household budget. You have to balance the spending with the amount of money you bring in. How could you ignore the fact that he increased spending along side enacting the largest tax cuts in the history of the country. Whatever the theoretical merits of tax cuts, how could he enact such tax cuts at the time he did. Tax cuts at the time was like diverting income (don't give me that raise) at a time you are running huge budget deficits (at home) into the hands of a rich uncle (boss) so that he can take that money and invest it to grow the company such that he may possibly employ your grandchildren in the future. I know you will not accept my analogy. But that is okay. At least I got to express my displeasure with that bit of Bush behavior.
