they had no choice, we were in a crisis.....shoot, Bush had no choice for the most part either....i'll ask you what quantum asked me, what was in the 2009 budget signed by obama, and why did bush ALREADY sign appropriation bills for the fiscal 2009 budget?Given that the Dems passed, and The Obama signed the FY2009 budget, there's no way for you or anyone else to honestly argue that FY2009 spending, and thus, deficit, was not His responsibility.
And WHY did the Statist Democrats that owned the Congress allow it?
