If you want to blame Bush, well he has a large share of the responsibility for that huge spending increase.

Why is the focus of conservatives and libertarians alike on spending increases alone? Because you would prefer to sweep the terrible effect of tax cuts under the rug...why? because for a libertarian like you they represent an intrusion of government and for a heartless conservative like inode they rip his heart (does he have one?) out by reaching into his ever beggarly pockets.

Bush was guilty of both...the data shows that the largest increases in the federal debt occurred under Reagan, Bush I and Bush II...due to tax cuts AND spending increases...yet the country has been made to believe that the dems are the ones who caused today's recognizable debt...notwithstanding inode's inevitable and convenient detour into a problem that can't be solved with a present value fund.
