The Bush tax cuts cost this country $2.5 trillion from 2001-2010.

Bush's two wars have cost this country $1 trillion to date.

Bush's Medicare Prescription Drug Plan cost this country $600B through 2010 and will cost another $600 billion through 2015, for a total of $1.2 trillion.

Bush also gave cash away in his 2008 stimulus and that cost this country $168B.

Total Bush wastage of money = $4.9 trillion. And that's just the major things I've listed.


So if you are honest, you need to start asking yourself why the GOP is so profligate and whether that money was well spent or not. But most importantly you have to acknowledge that the massive deficits we face today are not Obama's doing. He's brand new. These deficits were put in place during the time of Bush Jr. You certainly can't blame it on Clinton and Newt Gingrich.
