Another absurd question. Last week you were bashing Mr. Bush because the stock market went done on one day. For your edification, the S & P index went from 1380 to 1519, from Nov 3, 2006 to Nov 3, 2007. That is almost a 10% increase. For every one trillion dollars of market value in these companies, 100 billion dollars in wealth was created. How much credit does Mr. Bush get for that?
Congress passes all spending measures. The President does not create pork barrel projects. Your represenatives do. The President did not create Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The left wing liberal loonies of the past created those disasters. Now where does the blame lie?

Well, lets look at a few things:
Bush - Tax breaks early in his first term.
Congress - Wont vote to keep them permanent.
Bush - After 911 inherited a situation that, yes, takes money to fight a war and keep the terrorists busy.
Congress - Voted to go to war, based on same info Bush had, then changed their minds, after the fact. You cant flip flop once you commit troops.
Bush - Current term tried to get Congress to make his tax cuts permanent.
Congress - working on a tax increase, which would raise from 35%, to over 40% for any couple making over 100 grand per year. THAT is middle upper income so, guess who will pay the taxes???
Other than Reagan, JFK was the last true Democrat to give tax breaks, all the others, raised your taxes. Now, which or who would you like in office??
Someone who will raise your taxes if your a working person, or if you spend money?
Or someone who is trying to give more of your money back, plus, fight a war on terrorism??

That's an oddly phrased question, since you don't have to borrow tax dollars, and all the dollars (tax or borrowed) that the executive branch gets to spend are provided by Congress....

I guess that is the result from him being born with a Silver Spoon in his mouth.
He has never had to scrape to get buy, and does not know the real value of a dollar.
Bill Clinton who was raised in poverty, understood the value of the dollar and thus was fiscally responsible.

As a matter of fact, didn't President Bush give us all a nice tax rebate when he took office, or did you conveniently forget about that one? You remember, he gave us back a chunk of the money that the loopycrats took away from us.

George Bush is a walking credit card, and we have to pay the bill. Borrow and Spend economics is terrible for our nation.
I wouldn't trust him with my money...even if it was Monopoly money.

About 2-3 years ago, he gave all of us $100 as part of a tax-cut refund.......that's really about it!

I agree, EXCEPT the rebate he gave us when he first got in. It was, like, $200 a person or so.
