Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire
This is what Bush says on the campaign trail:
"We have a difference of philosophy in this campaign," Bush told supporters. "It's a clear difference: my opponent's programs will expand government. Our programs will expand opportunity."
Whaaaaaat? He's done nothing BUT expand government since he took office. It's his administration and his Republican Congress that have run up record deficits and increased spending (including non-defense spending). There are no Democrats to blame for this. Just the "borrow and spend" Republicans. Where's a good conservative when you need one? (There's a case to be made here for why it's a good idea to have different parties controlling the different branches. It reels in the spending.)
Republican talk-show host Joe Scarborough: "Republicans in Congress have spent the past three years passing the largest spending bills ever-ripping off taxpayers at record rates. The deficit, the debt, and the future debt are all at record highs." I have the debt clock posted in the links column. But make sure you have a strong stomach before you take a peek. :-)
