<< Bush is the worst fiscal president we have ever had. >> You forget 1979's misery index. 17% mortgages, 10% inflation, 11% unemployment. Who was president then?

Bush is a special interest cash machine just like Gray Davis used to be, but WORSE. Spending under Davis increased by a far greater percentage than spending under Bush has. That's a fact. You could look it up, but it might get in the way of your opinion to actually have real information to deal with. Here are Davis' spending figures (including supposedly "off budget" items that still have to be paid for): Grand Total of State Spending, California Fiscal Year 1994-95: $ 86.1B Fiscal Year 1995-96: $ 90.2B Fiscal Year 1996-97: $ 95.9B Fiscal Year 1997-98: $100.2B (Gray Davis elected, November 1998) Fiscal Year 1998-99: $109.6B Fiscal Year 1999-00: $122.2B Fiscal Year 2000-01: $137.7B Fiscal Year 2001-02: $145.8B Fiscal Year 2002-03: $166.8B Fiscal Year 2003-04: $154.7B (projected) lao.ca.gov Show me where Bush has increased spending by anywhere close to that range. He hasn't. Of course, you will keep saying he has, because you lie on a daily basis. But the facts are otherwise, and I will keep working to show people that you are lying, again and again.
