Bush claimed there WAS a surplus, and he was going to return it, because it was "YOUR money"! Are you saying Bush LIED?

Bush: Surplus Justifies Tax Cut WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2001 President Bush said Saturday that the most important number in the budget he sends to Congress next week is the $5.6 trillion surplus it projects over the next 10 years. That huge projected surplus provides the underpinning of all the administration's tax-cut and spending plans, Mr. Bush said in his recorded weekly radio address. "A surplus in tax revenue, after all, means that taxpayers have been overcharged," the president said. "And usually when you've been overcharged, you expect to get something back." The surplus figure "counts more than any other" in the budget, he said. Democrats cautioned that surpluses projected over so long a period can turn into elusive fool's gold. And they continued to insist that as it stands the Bush tax-cut plan unfairly favors the wealthy over those of more modest means. cbs news. =-============ You guys have TO GET AN EDUCATION!

Bush made a speech in 2000 about how to handle the SURPLUS he was inheriting from Clinton, something along the lines of 250 billion per year projected for as far as the eye could see. Bush turned around, gave his rich buds huge tax breaks, doled out corporate welfare, then upped spending and trounced the dollar so that now once again we are the biggest deficit-spenders in history by far. Shameful. As McCain says, Bush is "corrupt" and Delay's congress spends like "drunken sailors".
