right. And the democrats had control of the house & senate during 2007 and 2008, the last two years of the bush term.
Senate: Democrats 55, Republicans 41, Independent 2
HoR: Democrats 256, Republicans 178
And since we're all experts, we know that the spending bills originate in the House of Representatives. It's easy to couch this in terms of 'Bush was Pres' but democrats put the bill together and passed the bill, and then, democrat President Obama (who said he was going to cut spending) used the 'it was prior business spending' and 'we'll curtail earmarks in the future' explanation from his list of excuses, instead of stating the truth,
"You guys ain't seen nothin' yet!! Muahahahaaaahahahahaaaa, Muaaaaahahahahahahaha!!"
So, Obama spent $410 billion in a bill forwarded to him by a democrat house and democrat senate.
vote democrats. we can spend better than u!!!!
