    Clinton allowed 9/11 to happen by ignoring and gutting intelligence for 8 yrs and the dot.com bubble was bursting as Bush took office, which led to 1,2 and 3. How would you like your crow eaten?

    The bursting of the dotcom bubble led to the Bush tax cuts? The bursting of the dotcom bubble led to an unnecessary war? The bursting of the dotcom bubble led to subprime lending and mortgage-backed securities?

    ...and...and....and...no selective editing. 9/11 led to the war, DUH! The dot.com crash with help from 9/11 was effecting the economy as well. And a lot of the lending was started in the 90s, since every joe shmoe had a right to own a home, even if they didn't deserve it. Liberal policy. The mortgage fiasco came from liberals forcing the issue, since it isnt' PC to deny poor people a home. A lot of good it did us.

    Bush didn't start the war. Clinton started it by weaken us to the point where we had to go to war to prove a point....and all the democrats followed in lockstep, since they all agreed about the WMDs. Mostly incorrect intel from guess who....Clinton's botched intelligence Bush inherited.

    Las mas your ignorance is frightening. First, the wars caused a yearly increase in spending equal to roughly 1% of the federal Budget or less.
    2nd the refusal of Democrats in the senate to allow Fannie and Freddie, both run by former Clinton cronies at the time, to be reigned in was intrumental in the collapse of the housing market. Bush tried and Democrats denied. By the way over their life times the Bush Medicare prescription entitlement andNo child left behing will eventualy cost us more money than was spent in every war in our history. To be sure Bush constributed to the problem but his primary contributions ocurred when he was acting like a Democrat, increasing the scope of government.
