Experts project 7 trillion in total Bushie new debt by 2010 unless his tax policies are reversed, defence spending comes down and we make health care costs a lot more of a bargain. And that doesn't even include the new spikes in energy price or the seemingly endless Iraq occupation. That is more debt that has been amassed by all previous presidents combined. Only two presidents in our lifetimes created surpluses. JFK and Clinton. Bush, Reagan and Nixon were the three biggest debt creators. So the whole myth about Dems being "bigy government spenders" and the GOP being "small government fiscally conservative" turns out to be just the opposite.

"W. continues to present simplicity as clarity. When will he ever learn that clarity is the last thing you’re going to find in the Middle East, and that trying to superimpose it with force usually makes things worse? That’s what both the Israelis and Ronald Reagan learned in the early 1980’s when they tried disastrously to remake Lebanon. The cowboy president bet the ranch on Iraq, and that war has made almost any other American action in the Arab world, and any Pax Americana that might have been created there, impossible. It’s fitting that Condi is the Flying Dutchman, since Lebanon represents the shipwreck of our Middle East policy. "
