It's not just Bush's and Cheney's fault, it's congresses too.
Example: Army needs a bunch of 747's. Congress ends up leasing the planes instead of buying them with an option to buy. Turns out that the planes would just be cheaper to buy instead of lease. If we buy the planes when the lease runs out it would be about 5 BILLION dollars wasted.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
