Re: Why must someone be blamed?

When deficits were predicted a month or so ago, they were plastered on every newspaper in town in type big enough to be read from orbit, and made headlines on every news show. These deficits were laid at the feet of George W. Bush in no uncertain terms, specifically blaming his tax cuts, which had not yet even been activated.

And you know what? Those CBO numbers were no more "valid" than the current ones as far as predictions go.

If the Democrats who orchestrated this massive Bush-bash are now shown to be totally full of shit, it is very difficult for me to resist the fervent hope that their noses can be rubbed in it at least a little.
