Bush and Republicans have spent more money than any group in our nation's history from 2000-2006. They increased government programs, bailed out businesses with tax dollars, and spent on anything they could. Stop acting like the Republicans are for small government and fiscal responsibility. Those days are long gone. The candidates are the same, they'll just spend our money on different shit.

Guess who controls the house and senate? If you guessed democrats then you won! They are the ones who bailed out bear stearns.
Democrats also pushed thru "Domestic programs included $8.2 billion for Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters, with $5.8 billion for levees around New Orleans and $348 million for restoration of Mississippi coastal islands."
