Spending is irresponsible, we all know that. Is defense spending irresponsible or did you mis-speak?

Tonto, in 2004 tax receipts were still less than what they were in 2000. They took 5 years to set a new high There's never been a more pathetic performance in federal revenue since the Great Depression. Like i said look it up. I gave you the data. Find another time revenue went down for 3 years in a row and took so long to recover. It's never happened, not since the GD. Revenue growth has been pathetic under Bush. It's been stronger under every single President before him since the Great Depression. You want to claim credit for sucking? That's just sad. And without a doubt, this substandard revenue growth is a major factor in our record setting deficits and debt. Bush claims to be a CEO President but he's lost money every year (except 2000) he's been in office. He's losing money hand over fist, and we've been in an expansion. Again, that's pathetic, especially for a CEO President who's supposed to be minding the balance sheet. SD
