Exactly.

The question is is Bush doing the same thing?

Is Bush and company spending like drunken sailors because they know that there is an election in one years time and last time when daddy bush was up for re-election it was the economy that bit him in the ass.

Remember "it's the economy stupid" that ended up sinking daddy's boat.

Maybe Jr. figures he will avoid that pit fall by spending money he doesn' t have now in order to bolster the economy and help with his re-election chances. Then, once his re-election is accomplished put the screws to everyone?

Hmmmm, i wonder.....
