Fiscal Conservatives, Really?

President Bush announced his 2009 budget today. The total package? 3.1 trillion dollars. He set a new record for spending, up 6% from this year. He projected a federal deficit of $407 billion dollars. Who says the Republicans are fiscal conservatives? I think President Bush has taken away the credibility of that argument.

Now compare that to what only seems like yesterday when President Clinton had balanced the federal budget, the first President in American history to do that. When he left office, President Clinton left us with a surplus.

I often say President Bush has run our country into the ground, on so many levels. This only solidifies that opinion. Anyone care to disagree?
