QUADRUPLE

Of course I'm seriously, desperately concerned. But all Bush had to do was hold onto what Clinton started, and our deficit would have started to go down. Instead, he spent. And the deficit DOUBLED. Up into trillion-land.

When you look at recent times (the last 40-50 years), turns out the GOP have not been the financial conservatives when in the White House. I didn't know that.

The spending under Bush and under Obama - what they are spending it upon - are different, don't you agree?

What do you think should be done instead, regarding the current US financial situation?
