Same article, original source;

Some people asked the question why did Republicans spend so much money during the start of the Bush administration? The deficit increased to $400 Billion and the economy lost 2 million jobs (mostly because of 9/11). Well, if you look closely, it was a Democrat Senate that was in charge.

Democrats had control of the Senate for 2001 and 2002. They forced Bush to spend on their programs as payment to them for passing any of the Bush initiatives to thwart the impact of 9/11 on the economy.

Now wondering if that was when Trent Lott was sharing the Senate with Democrats?
