We only had 7 years of congressional control. You have to remember Jim Jeffords.

Of those 7 years, only 1 year did the republicans have control of both congress and the presidency.

Besides, at least we got mega tax cuts.

I'm not a whore that cares about money,or can be bought with tax cuts.

Big Government= Less individual freedom

GWB is taking away freedom. Maybe he'll sign Hillary's mandatory seat belt law next. As if its any of their damn business.

Besides, at least we got mega tax cuts.

And now we have mega-spending. That makes the "mega tax cuts" increasingly an illusion. You can't have tax cuts and huge spending increases at the same time, no matter how "supply side" the tax cuts are. Sooner or later, our means will force a choice, and the temptation will just be overwhelming to sacrifice the tax cuts to the increased spending.

Just like you can't have open borders and a welfare state---the temptation is ultimately overwhelming for politicians to extend welfare benefits to immigrants---whether legal or illegal---, and for immigrants to avail themselves of the welfare benefits instead of jobs.

Don't act like the GOP is a helpless victim to Democratic ideals. It is the Republicans proposing most of these lunatic ideas.
