>> It blew me away how Bush borrowed trillions from them to fight his wars But it doesn't bother you at all that Obama borrows trillions from them to give to people who choose not to work..

I think the Moron Bush was trying to be the next Reagan by cutting taxes immediately. We were actually running surpluses when he came into office and whoever was doing his thinking for him thought, "Well, we don't need surpluses, we ONLY have $4 TRILLION in debt and Reagan proved that deficits DON'T matter". Cheney said as much on National Television in 2005. As far as the Wars, Afghanistan was totally BOTCHED and Iraq was NEVER necessary. As it turns out we will end up MUCH worse off geopolitically because of both of them. The Taliban has now gotten a foothold in Pakistan and will come back into and dominate Afghanistan once again as soon as we pull out. In Iraq we've put the Shiites into power and that has strengthened Iran. Pretty LOUSY return on the THOUSANDS of killed and wounded and the TRILLIONS of dollars WASTED, EH?
