Many liberal politicians who are running for office have been using the National Debt as yet another excuse to attack the Bush Administration.
The Iraq War seems to be the favorite attack subject of the Democrats.
The United States deficit climbs, but is the Bush Administration to Blame? Well many believe it is, as the US had a surplus when President Bush took office.
When we look past the politics the economics show another truth.
The Administration is not all to blame for the Deficit, the entire Congress and Senate need to sign up for Weight Watchers.
Many political analysts say that is an unfair comment against President Bush when Democratic Senators are entertaining homosexual lobbyists in Washington DC and bringing home the bacon like they promised with manure pet projects.
That is what the people want and that is what they do to stay in office.
Blame yourself say conservatives and the socialist mindset demanding FREE STUFF from the government.
Then complain about the costs.
Then over regulating businesses of all sizes at all levels of government causing small business failures and Corporations to move offshore, outsource to foreign lands and then hire lobbyists so they can avoid some of the disastrous class action lawsuits and regulations, which are insane.
Look at SOX, give me a break, if that were enforced on Government it would have to close.
The Surplus of the government was due to increased capital gains taxes and windfalls.
I say over taxation.
That did not belong to the government, they stole it from the productivity of the nation, American Families and it was time to give it back.
Perhaps we all need to think about the reality of the situation and dismiss the political attacks.
Consider this in 2006.
