Chi guy one of the goals of terrorism is to disrupt the economy YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT!!! It has taken Billions of Dollars to repair NYC after 9-11, do you think Bush and congress allotted money or expecting that one on there original budget??? How about Katina, is it bush's fault, that a Natural Disaster took out the Gulf Coast??? Do you think money to repair that one was on the original budget??? Not to mention what about a few summers back when Florida was getting nailed by a Hurricane almost everyday? was that on the original budget??? Also the budget was already pretty high before Bush got there in the first place, maybe if we collected all our World war 2 debts we would put a major dent into it, to blame just bush on this issue shows your just a bitter angrey little man!!
