Stop with the facts, you`ll get in the way of those who call Bush a liberal! :] The point of the article that some can`t seem to grasp is that Bush gets called a big-spender who put Obama in a corner, but we`d be in much better shape if we were at Bush-era spending levels. Unfortunately, the American people never blame Congress for overspending because they like `their` guy. This mentality has spawned those who complain but don`t dare fire someone they like on a personal level, someone they feel close to cuz he`s from `their` part of the world.
Another thing lost on everyone is that Bush spent less in his budgets than the ones congress eventually passed.
Also, the competitive aspects of his prescription drug plan actually lowered drug prices.
