So much for Truth.

GOP in a funk over BUSH's spending? I may be wrong....I'm not...but Congress writes the damn budget.

Then they are congress's tax cuts too, not Bush's.

I'm certain you think that statement is brilliant, even though it is not.

To expand for your understanding...

The headline states the GOP is in a "funk
over Bush's spending. The headline seeks to INDICT Bush, even though Congress is complicit...more so infact since they are the ones Constitutionally mandated in this area. To allude this is BUSH's spending is DISHONEST and agenda driven.

Infact BOTH have played a role, with Congress playing the greater one since this starts with them first. As I noted Bush DOES have a role, and that is where a VETO comes in. he has also pushed for some programs that take money to work, which Congress accepted and expanded on. I didn't absolve him, I INDICTED the agenda of the hack that wrote this for focusing on the lesser of the responsibles for this spending.

To take your OTHER brilliance apart, Congress can take some credit for passing the tax cuts. But YOU know and I KNOW there would be NO tax cuts if the president hadn't used his pulpit to force it down their throats. YOU know and I KNOW that spending would be occuring with or without him in large amounts. the highway bill proved that. That's why Bush gets MORE credit, in this specific instance of taxes, because no fair minded person out there honestly thinks absent Bush those tax cuts would have happened.
