Mostly OT On the fiscal side I have to agree with you, we haven't had good fiscal policy. Way too much spending, and now they are talking about tacking on a lot more. The idea, is that the cost will be minimal because you can sell the assets after the market recovers. I'm not confident in that, and even if you get money later your paying the cost now. There have been a lot of negative events, not caused by this administration, which have contributed to all this extra spending. Given those circumstances any president would likely have spent a lot, esp. one without an ideological commitment to restraining the growth of government (which Bush clearly lacks even though he has paid lip service to the idea at times). But there is a lot, and then there is what Bush has spent and is apparently planning on spending.
