its congress' fault too, but there was no declaration of war. last time congress actually declared war was WWII. congress only simply let bush take command of the troops as he saw fit.
bush jr is following in his fathers footsteps for taxcuts like his father did and back when bush sr was in office gov surplus was going down. when clintion went into office he reversed every taxcut and economic plan bush sr made and america was makin money. we set a new record and made the most money ever with bill. then when bush jr was elected he copied his fathers ideas and look what happened. if bush jr would had followed bill's plans there was a projected surplus of 11billion in about 10 years. now the projected deficit in less than 10 years is over 11billion, or just about. the millions and billions that the top 20% pay in taxes are most of the money the gov needs for its programs and whatnot. i dont know if i mentioned it earlier but the taxcuts cost the gov more than 3times the money we are using for iraq and thats including rebuilding and homeland security. i 4get how much bush asked for when he wanted to go into iraq and i 4get how much was needed for rebuilding and homeland security but i remember it was a lot, and if the taxcuts cost the gov 3 times more than all those put together that shows how much money is being lost. btw i got the info from bipartisan congressional budget office.
