I know that reading comprehension isn't your strong point Sam, but I have regularly stated all sorts of things I disagree with Obama on. He's shaping up to be a decent leader but I have some major policy disagreements with him. And yes, I do worry a great deal about the federal debt. Perhaps if we hadn't cut taxes on the rich below even what Regan did, we wouldn't be in such dire financial straits. Regardless, Bush was right about the need to borrow money and invest in stabilizing our economy. My hope is that the steps he took and the steps that Obama is taking will result in a return to budgetary surpluses. And a good hard look at the Federal budget with an eye toward wisely chosen decreased spending is always welcome. Sadly, that doesn't seem to happen much under either party.
