Many conservatives were very irate with Bush's deficits. I might add that the Bush deficits are now what Obama fans say are at a good level.

The major difference is that the total debt was still at a manageable level. Now it is not - the credit card has been maxed out. If interest rates rise to normal levels - it all spirals out of control.

As usual - facts are the true enemy of leftist propaganda.

Pubs seem able to do whatever they want without question.
Which party rammed through Obamacare?

Bush and the pubs controlled the presidency and congress for 6 years
You are correct, Bush spent like a drunken Democrat. But the biggest deficits, by far, were the last 2 years with Pelosi and Reid running Congress

Bush even ran his wars off budget.
A trick he learned from Liberal hero LBJ
