Yeah, Q, that is one beef I've had with every Repub president goiong back 3 decades... They all get elected by promising low taxes and less government but they all spend like drunken sailors... There is no controlling them... The love to shop!!!
But let get real here... Bill Clinton, who I don't have much respect for, at least listened to Alan Greenspan's pleas top raise taxes and balence the budget and so he did exactly that...
Then along came Bush Slow thinkin' Bush Slow talkin' Bush Yeah, along came Bush
And the rest is history, sans the current friggin' mess...
