the craziest part is that every time people on the right bring this point up – those on the left just say- well hey george bush started this. Like as if we are supposed to say “oh yeah you know what you are right, it makes perfect sense now, george bush started some really high spending, so it is logical to support obama’s out of the realm of reason spending”. The argument makes no sense at all. Its the equivalent of your wife going on a spending spree at the mall, and then you depleting your life savings, children’s college fund,cashing in your life insurance and your 401k, then maxing out all of your credit cards, taking a second mortgage out on your home, and taking a trip to vegas. “well honey, remember those $200 jeans you bought at the mall? So really you started this spending, it would be hypocritical of you to be mad at me”
