America's Peculiar Amnesia
People have already forgotten how George W. Bush and the Republican Congress expanded government spending.

Historical amnesia is at once the most endearing and the most...
Are there poor people? Better add more government
Is government education failing? Better add more government
Is government managed health care failing? Better add Obamacare
Is America's Congress-devised economic system failing? Better pass a sweeping financial reform bill
Of course...
$1 trillion per year for foreign policy, over 700 bases around the world and ongoing wars, in addition to military operations we don't know about
And if Democrats think we should cut defense spending why do they support Obama when his defense budget is even more than Bush's?
It has nothing to do...
