God Bless President Bush

[Dr. Love]

I just did my taxes.

[Guitar Shark]

LOL, I agree Doc, that's one reason to love him.

(The only reason, in my opinion, but a reason nonetheless.)

But don't tell my future children that!

I agree, but that term is from the 1993 Van Hagar album! LOL

It's immaterial when you consider all the damage done.

[fe_lung]

My taxes doubled since he took office, so I'm not so much on the blessing thing!

W is for wanker.

Surplus...well not really. We had not paid off all of our debt. It was a surplus for, what 2 years worth of budget, so don't confuse it with us being out of debt...because we were never, and probably never will be debt free. Then again, who in the fuck is going to make us pay anyway. I say we go collect all the money we lent to other countries...that'll put a dent in it.

That's a good point, but a small Federal deficit I have been told is a good thing though I am not sure why. Their was no deficit spending under Clinton his final term, so things were very stable.

Perhaps everything isn't Bush's fault, but his priorities are way out of 'balance' when you 'buy now, pay later.'
