It's hard to balance the budget when you're fighting two wars that aren't included in the budget and you cut taxes resulting in significant revenue losses.

And, back in the 21st century again, what about McCain's economic plan is so different from what we've had for eight years? As it is we're choosing from a set of policies we think might fail, or a set of policies that has failed already. Maybe this is where that whole "hope" business of Obama's comes from.
Yes, Newt needs way more credit. Its sad to see the clintons trying to take it.

News for pres one day.. hopefully, because he truly understood economics and kept this countries budget balanced.

Poor President Bush? No concern for the citizens eh? Looks like Senator Clinton's facts are difficult to assail.

Say what? Bush lost the right to claim he was trying to make the world safer when he abandoned fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan before the job was done in order to go after Iraq.
