The Horrible Weight of Responsibility

There is so much truth in that item that it bears slow reading more than once. We've heard the incessant repetition about the Bush administration being the cause, but no rational man can equate a quadrupling of the budget deficit in hardly more than four months in office with somehow being less egregious than George W. Bush' excesses.

The whole effort so far looks so much like a teen-ager with a credit card and no job that the eventual arrival of the monthly statement on daddy's desk is going to be a grounding for a year at least.
