I don’t know about you, but I’m past sick of President Obama always blaming the nation’s economic ills he “inherited” on the failed policies of the Bush Administration (he voted on).
It appears some in the former Bush Administration are sick of it too…
Trying to mask huge spending increases under the cloak of ‘fiscal responsibility’ is the height of audacity.
Putting temporary war spending in supplemental budgets was done to avoid permanently baking those appropriations into the Defense Department’s baseline budget. That’s good budgeting, not a ‘gimmick’.
Our budgets were honest, open and transparent. Every dime spent was presented, debated, voted on and counted.

Pushbacks suck, don’t they?
Isn’t it nice when the Republicans stand-up for themselves? Pushback, absolutely. Maybe the right will see that they get a lot more respect when they call the left o their bullshit instead of always trying to be “collegial.” Screw that, being collegial is what gets you the second-place ribbon in a two-way race.
