Increasing deficits and debt with no real outlook at how the debts are going to be paid are what caused the collapse of the financial sector and, as I stated earlier, is how the Iraq War/Tax Cuts relationship was a major contributing factor to our current economic state.
OK, you didn't come right out and say it, but it was definitely implied when you used words like "insane" and link Bush's economy (which you refer to negatively) with "massive increase of national debt".

You can't have it both ways. And for the record, I think as usual we're not that far apart on our thoughts here. We just have a different way of arriving there.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
