      I'm not too stupid to understand that Bush and his Repub congress could have done anything they wanted for 6 years, and they managed to swell the deficit EVERY year.

        dude, the baby boomers did not start soc security. as it stands right now the "greatest generation" is the only generation that will benefit - get = or > than what they paid in.

          Both ideas have serious flaws.
          I don't see why privatizing work to people who actually know how to handle shit is a bad thing. Do you know many government workers?

          Even the DoD is using consultants to improve their programs.

            Too bad you don't live in Alaska:

            Ted Stevens indicted, longest-serving GOP senator

            By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 11 minutes ago



            WASHINGTON - Sen. Ted Stevens, the nation's longest-serving Republican senator and a major figure in Alaska politics since before statehood, was indicted Tuesday on seven felony counts of concealing more than a quarter of a million dollars in house renovations and gifts from a powerful oil contractor that lobbied him for government aid.

              I saw the writing on that wall in 1988.

                  See, that is not true. Current government has hired many contract companies, but it's not all president. Bush doesn't hire companies, congress does. Bush, after 9/11, did a lot to get rid of bureaucracy. He took immigration and defence departments, and put them together, eliminating almost 1000 officials, than Homeland Security was even further simplifying the equation. he did this with transportation, and many other departments. Bush is not the sharpest knife in the kitchen, and group surrounding him are shady, but not everything they did was bad.

                  One of the good things they have done, is that they have set a new low for presidency, and no matter who is elected for the next 100 years, it will all seem better.

                      You were wearing diapers when Clinton took over the reins.

                      I know exactly how it works, and I know that good old Dubya can't hold Clinton's jock. Dubya has swollen the deficit every single year - with a Repub congress and without.

                      Congress approves what is to be spent on each bill not the President, that is their job not his. Both parties are at fault with the out of control spending period.

                      Now what can my next earmark be that I can squeeze out of the democrats in congress?

                        You're too stupid to see the real issue with government spending is not in control of anyone, besides those who would seek to eliminate the entitlement programs in existence.

                        Bush didn't establish social security, and what was the party of the person who did? Medicare? Medicaid? Food stamps?

                        Democrats are great at creating social programs that cannot be funded long-term. Do you really want Obama to start new programs?

                            Can't argue with the last line, but I'd like to see a source that cites the shhrinkage of government under Dubya.

                              You probably should look for a crooked Dem - now that yet another Republican has been indicted.
