To be fair please answer the following simple question: What was the Bush increase in the defict/national debt about, if not simply to "tax, borrow and spend and give free stuff"? The outrage is not so easy to believe when the basic policy was not changed, only the "magnitude" of the gap (deficit). Hmm...
9/11 was a horrendous thing that happened very early in GW's term and that certainly had an effect on the economy and spending.
Obama's spending priorities, while doubling, appear to be more mysterious.
