- Spending of hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild New Orleans and provide people with check cards and trailer homes billed to the taxpayers.

- Approving $30 billion in tax dollars to bailout Bear Stearns. Also approving the Fed's move to give as much money as they can to failing banks and investment firms.

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.
