Yeah, it's hard to endorse either of the two parties' financial policies. Though my economics teacher in high school did point out that economists support the idea of overspending in times of recession, coupled with higher taxes during booms. Under that frame of logic Bush's policy would be completely detrimental to the country in the long term.
I do like the quote a friend of mine pointed out with regards to the current size of public services: http://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?......we, the largest, most prosperous nation in human history, have built a government so expensive and so massive, that not even the richest country in the history of the world can afford it...
