I think this is something that deserves a bit more discussion here. What is everyone's opinion on Bush's spending habits?

As I am with most everything Bush touches, I'm skeptical. Huge deficit, tax cuts, and a *lot* of spending. I don't see how the numbers add up. It's starting to make the economy look squeeky clean now (with a re-election campaign right around the corner, no less), but what assurances do we have that America's checkbook will be balanced in the coming years?

And how does his policies fit in with Republican ideals and agendas? Any republicans here agree with McCain's assessment, where he says the Republican led government is "spending money like a drunken sailor"? (Article here)
