Re: Not An Answer.
I guess my answer to that would be, not that bad in the context of events in the United States. The Bush administration inherited a recession, and then took a major economic blow in the aftermath of 9/11. Now add in the cost of military operations, and I think its a valid argument.
That being said, lest you think I am just toeing the party line here, I am very unhappy with the amount of discretionary spending by this administration. Someone of it may have been necessary in order to build political capital but overall the Bush administration certainly hasnt done much to help themselves with the budget problem.
Ill see if I cant find some numbers so we can take a look at it empirically.
