Bush did three things to skyrocket the debt from $5.7 trillion to $10 trillion:
1. He lowered taxes on the rich (by far the biggest item).
2. He invaded Iraq instead of winning in Afghan-Pakistan (another $600 B).
3. He loosened controls on Wall Street.
Where is Paul's data that indicates that safety nets hurt the poor? He just states that it is and you take it as fact?! Show me the data please. | Bush didn't do #1 and #2 alone. . .don't forget that none of that could have been possible without the approval of Congress.
