Why do you think this voodoo economics is any more successful than it was under Reagan?

How many times do I need to state that I think spending is out of control.
If you re-read what I have been writing I think you will find my position reasonable. I have been calling it like I see it. I just don't buy in to the Bush bashing, I like the tax cuts, I think the economy is strong and getting stronger and I think Presidents get too much credit and too much blame for things outside of their control when it comes to the economy.
I can see how any defense of Bush makes me a Kool-aid drinker in the eyes of many - but I think objective thinkers can see the points.

Bush is reversing the trend? The national debt is increasing faster than any time in history, and the worst of the Bush tax cut impacts havent kicked in yet. Bush will likely need to raise the debt ceiling again in '07, the 4th time in six years.

Somtimes we are talking about the deficit and sometimes the debt. In this thread I have been trying to focus on the deficit. Perhaps a new thread on the debt is in order, but I am not going to start it - I am a simpleton or whatever.
