Craigimass,
Here is one of a number of posts in which I mentioned my unhappiness with the Bush administration spending money they didn't have - this post was talking about the debt bubble and the reversal of the $us to weakness at 300$us/oz gold. This post was from March of 2008, but I can do some searches and find older material if you aren't convinced.
For context - what we were talking about at the time this post was made was the Bush administrations insistence on using debt to pay for the war and how that had caused gold to reverse from 300$us/oz and head for the heavens. Of course it has never come back down since then, because everyone knew when we started paying for the war with debt that it was going to be one more step towards currency devaluation.

Can anyone find 9/11 2001 on this chart ? |
You know at least one tea party protester (I'd almost bet the only one you have any direct experience with) who has been complaining since the Iraq war began about the Bush administration spending money on a war without raising taxes to pay for it. Unless you know more protesters who have the opposite point of view I'd appreciate it if you would reconsider the argument you keep trying to make and give the tea party protesters the benefit of the doubt until you find some actual evidence to the contrary.
