You folks have some nerve complaining NOW.
GWB attacked Iraq while fighting a war in Afghanistan, he passed TAX CUTS in the midst of this.
UNHEARD of, never before were taxes cut while fighting A war, let alone TWO!
Then passes this Medicare bill, also UNPAID for just to win votes...
Your party has NO credibility, NONE!
Eisenhower cut defence spending 27% overall, Nixon 29%, Bush Sr 17% and Reagan 10%.
The great exception to the rule is George W. Bush, who increased spending by an astonishing 70%during his tenure.

Bush signs landmark Medicare bill into law
MEDICARE
December 08, 2003
President Bush on Monday signed into law landmark Medicare reform legislation that includes prescription drug benefits and has sparked a bitter fight between opponents and supporters.
Speaking at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, Bush characterized the measure as "the greatest advance in health care coverage for America's seniors since the founding of Medicare."
Backers say
the $400 billion Medicare Prescription Drug Modernization Act
will provide much-needed help for the nation's 40 million senior citizens to buy medications; critics say it is a giveaway to drug makers and insurance companies and a prelude to the dismantling of the program
