Two wars, an economy on life-support, who can forget.  This didn't happen in the last two years.  Dems are gaining back their strength as we speak.

Bush put us 1 trillion dollars in the hole and Obama is putting us deeper in that hole to the tune of 9 trillion in the next 10 years. Basic economics teaches you can't spend your way out of debt if you could we would all be millionaires.
