I agree that the absolute mess that was the W Presidency was largely the doing of the post 1998 GOP, the party of Zionist Treason against America, but it had plenty of Dem support....
Indeed, if the Dems had any integrity, they would have impeached W for lying to Congress about the cost of socializing senior drugs.... but socializing senior drugs was MORE SPENDING and SPENDING to be STOLEN, so the Dems went along with it....
Inquiry Confirms Top Medicare Official Threatened Actuary Over Cost of Drug Benefits
An internal investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services confirms that the top Medicare official threatened to fire the program's chief actuary if he told Congress that drug benefits would probably cost much more than the White House acknowledged.
A report on the investigation, issued Tuesday, says the administrator of Medicare, Thomas A. Scully, issued the threat to Richard S. Foster while lawmakers were considering huge changes in the program last year. As a result, Mr. Foster's cost estimate did not become known until after the legislation was enacted.
