That's our boy. "The No-Tax and Spend Kid." He'll stick to his promise not to raise taxes and dump a gargantuan deficit on the next poor slob to inherit the White House.

"Our administration is concerned about deficits, and the way they deal with deficits is you want to control spending. And I hope Congress lives up to their words. When they talk about deficits, they can join us in making sure we don't overspend. They can join us and make sure that the appropriations process is focused on those issues that -- those items that are absolutely necessary to the American people. I'm pleased that members of the Congress are talking about deficits. It means they understand their obligations not to overspend the people's money."

President Bush on January 6, 2003

He really thinks the American people are not smart enough to remember his words or he doesn't even understand what he says.

At this rate, this country will be bankrupt even before this man is voted out of office next year.

The deficit is lower now than it was with Clinton...

[M_Six]

WHAT!?!?!

Care to back that up with some facts? If I remember correctly, Clinton produced the first surplus in many years.

GWB, on the other hand, has given us a record deficit. There's ample articles on that everywhere.

Are we even talking about the same thing?

EDIT: I should note that I posted the above before you editted yours to include that chart. Where did that come from and how do explain those numbers when virtually every news organization is talking about the record deficits GWB is producing?

[M_Six]

Why does that chart skip from 1993 to 2004? Is it conveniently leaving out the years where the Clinton administration had a much lower deficit? 1993 was Clinton's first full year in office and he had inherited a large deficit from GHWB.
