Maybe Bush is a good thing for America. Hoover turned america away from the Republicans for a generation because of the positive economic growth and the institution of liberal social programs of Franklin Delano Roosevelt which made us all feel safe.

Bush is fully following in Hoover's footsteps (helped greatly by the bedrock of federal deficit that Reagan bequeathed to us all). Another 4 year stint of Bushness as usual, plus a strong Democratic President for the next term could see america make that shift back for another generation.

Seven of Reagan's eight proposed budgets were balanced, according to the CBO. I'll be happy to post the figures for you.
I have seen figures, but not lately, that indicate if the Democrat-controlled Congress been able to limit its spending increases to 5% per year, the budgets would have been balanced.
