Even Greenspan is Going After Bush

I have to agree with Greenspan though in his criticisms.
Greenspan accused Bush of not responsibly handling the nation's
spending and racking up big budget deficits, saying he and Congress' former GOP
leaders abandoned the party's conservative principles favoring small
government.


"My biggest frustration remained the president's unwillingness to
wield his veto against out-of-control spending," Greenspan wrote in "The Age of
Turbulence: Adventures in a New World," being released Monday.

I agree with this. Bush spent like a drunken Massachusetts Democrat there for a while. He racked up huge deficits and it now fighting a War that costs billions of dollars that could have been going to tax cuts.

In fact that do-nothing Republican Congress didn't even make the tax cuts permanent. They just screwed around with social security, didn't do anything on immigration, and stopped stem cell research while fighting partisan battles. Bush even made the government bigger by starting the Department of Homeland Defence and putting incompetent people in charge of it.
