It was a giant game of chicken. the Democrats would always castigate the Republicans for exercising fiscal restraint, so Bush said, fine, you cut it then, I won’t. And avoided the old routine of “the Republicans let granny eat dog food” but the Democrats wouldn’t cut a thing, they knew their constituency wouldn’t put up with it. So the deficits are equally the Dems fault.

Yeah, but there was such a weapon as a “veto”.

Normal adults would call this dereliction of duty and a grotesque failure of leadership. You just made the case, in spades, for Bush's dismal rating.
