>Mindmeld, Axelrod is claiming that the recent $1.3 trillion deficit belonged to Bush. I stopped reading after that. Of course it did. The 2009 fiscal year started in October 2008. -Z

And a Bush blew a six trillion projected surplus. If you vote for me, I will project a 23 trillion dollar surplus.

Of course it belonged to Bush. You forget that it was Bush who signed the $700B TARP into law, cut taxes twice costing another $200B a year, and signed the Medicare Prescription drug plan. None of that was paid for and created the large deficits that Obama took over. What most people don't understand is that only a very small portion of the budget is discretionary. Much of it is spending that codified by the law and would take a new law to reduce. That is why we're in the shit we're in.
