All of which was borrowed money. All of which will have to be paid back or inflated away. All of which adds to the total debt load of the country.

Sounds like a certain nation is desperately addicted to spending.

If Bush hadn't spent the money, the Bush-haters would bitch about that. Doesn't matter what he did-to liberals it's wrong.

You wanna talk about spending money? The current administration can't print the shit fast enough to spend it.
