President Bush proved that additional government spending does not stimulate the economy. I'm not sure you can make that argument. Without a doubt the economy was stimulated in the Bush years - that stimulation was partially responsible for the massive housing boom. The problem was not with the stimulation - it was from idiotic recklessness by everyone along the food chain. That aside, my point was that since republicans spent (war) and guided (energy policy) on what they felt was important, why would anyone think that democrats after being out of power for almost all of the last 30 years, wouldn't take their time at the food trough? That's what elections are all about. Wasting money on partisan projects and social engineering while running up the largest deficit in history* (of any nation, ever).* No longer works to use this argument. Republicans could have if they had of held the Bush spending in check - now in my mind they hold no credibility. Fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me. The only one with any credibility is Ron Paul.
