The last administration spent like they were democrats and the current one seems destined to outspend it



This is something I need to look into. How much of Bush's over-spending was due to Iraq and Afghanistan? I've been wondering if mismanaging Iraq for the 1st 3 years of the occupation is the real, single most thing that sent Bush's budgets into extra-terrestrial territories. Mismanaging for 3 years just meant we'd have to pour money into Iraq another 3 years, all the while Afghanistan becoming more of a money pit we can't attend to. But, I need to look into that. Don't know if it's consistent with the numbers or not.
