    Bush, Cheney and Company screwed up much more than you've elaborated here. No one will ever to held to account. Hacks like David Brooks and Thomas Fried will continue to keep their gigs at the New York Times and their Sunday morning talk shows lying through their teeth about the Bush years and their cheerleading for wars based on lies and tax cuts for the wealthy. Real liberals are almost never allowed on the same stage as them for fear that they will be called out. Of course those hacks will continue to lie lie lie with impunity.

    Thanks to gerrymandering on local levels this country will be stuck with insane Republicans for generations.

      I live in Texas. This state will be turning blue in a few more election cycles. The last election was characterized as the browns versus the grays. The grays are dying off and so is the Republican base. The FDR base is slowly coming back together in this country. As always the "Beltway Media" is missing that fact. They only know each other. Imagine the NYT's Andrew Sullivan and his boyfriend living in Mississippi. They would be amazed at the "real" America and the Republican base that he is so enchanted with.

    PS. Where were the Republicans who now say that every expenditure must be countered with a cut in spending elsewhere, when the billions were being exported back then?
    They didn't talk about the debt ceiling then. It was a non-issue. But now they want to cut off people who need help the most, now-now that we are plunged into a recession that is the result of their careless spending. Irony. Oh my. Hypocrisy? Oh yes.

    And the real kicker? The war made us less safe. Don't even get me started...

      Those who weren't concerned about the debt prior to 2008 have no right to say or to do anything regarding the national budget or debt. The past thirty years has been nothing but tax cuts for the rich, government handouts to big business and kicking everyone else in the mouth. What has that given society as a whole?

    I hear you brother.
    I wrote a lot (here and elsewhere) back when Bush was in office. I was in an anti-Bush, anti war in Iraq frenzy there for a few years. I still get mad when Republicans blame Obama's stimulus package for the deficit, when the "reconstruction" efforts and the billions spent on a bogus war itself are the reason we are in the financial shape we are in.

    People have short memories but it's amazing to me that those same people (think Tea Party) were not very concerned when giant cargo planes filled with CASH were flown into Iraq to fund the post war effort (independent contractors.) Almost ALL of that money has never been accounted for. Oops. It still makes me ill.

    And they think cutting entitlements is the answer now. It is a giant slap in the face to the American people, but there are many of them who will never see that, never understand what Bush's reign cost this country.

    You have obviously had a difficult time making your point. I know the feeling, but I also know that history will not look kindly on that chapter of American history. It doesn't help us now, but it helps me to know that I never wavered in my conviction. President Obama cannot make everything right, especially what has happened in the past, but I believe he is making a good faith effort. Those who cannot see that, well, there's not much to done I'm afraid. Numbers don't lie. But people do.
