$400 Billion was "outrageous" under Prs. Bush, but over $1 Trillion

It all depends on who is spending it and what on. Think of all the money Bush spend over 8 years. The dems and most of america were up in arms over it. Now look at how much Obama has spend in just a few months. THe republicans and the sane people in this country are up in arms. To be honest boht sides don't have a clue what fiscal responsibility is. Both are spending us into hell.

It doesn't make much sense, but then again, neither does anything progressive liberals do. "Oh, you lost the tip of your finger in a wood chipper accident? Okay, let's take the rest of the arm! You'll thank me for it. By the way, have you heard about our new line of prosthetics?" Bush was hated by people for plenty of reasons. When it comes to the leftist zealots, well, zealotry pretty much sums it up. He was damned if he did, damned if he didn't. And by that same weak standard of judgment, Obama will always be touted as perfection personified -- unless, of course, he manages to directly slight them. That aside, the far right has its fair share of zealots who will always hate Obama. I just wish some people would stop using the bashing of liberal policies to paint America as a place that's still racist. But that's another discussion.
