It appears to me that several people blame Bush for changing the surplus into a defecit and that's why they want him out. I say that not one single candidate running for President can fix the defecit/surplus problem himself if he wins the election. The problem is that more money is spent by the Federal Government than comes in through taxes. Check the Constitution, only Congress can spend tax dollars. The President presents requests to spend tax money, and he can try to persuade Congress to see things his way, but ultimately Congress has the final say. So, if you want a surplus, it's your Congressional representatives that have to do that.
