<<<How is that Bush's policy? Bush did the exact opposite. >>> Bush didn't think he was spending money. He didn't budget for the war. He gave money away in the form of huge tax cuts to people who lived lavishly for eight years in an orgy of conspicuous consumption. The gap between the wealthy and the vast majority of Americans became unhealthy. Bush spent money foolishly. None of the spending went into things that would have helped our economy to grow (like on infrastructure or planting seeds to create new industries in energy or in educating our vulnerable young people). Republicans are continuing Bush's policies that have no merit. They say no, urging Americans to do nothing, and believing things will self correct. That is a continuation of Bush policies. The only problem with Obama's Recovery and Reinvestment Program is that it may be too little. Don't argue with me. Bush policies have failed.
