Bull***. Bush has been berated much by conservatives
about budget deficits. Off the record, obviously. They had
to clench their teeth to support Bush. They suffer Bush only
bc he's a lesser evil economically speaking and because they
like his ideology on other issues.

Nonsense.

That's the point I think - to leave that ticking bomb for them, so it
blows up in their faces.

It's gruesome, because a lot of innocent taxpayers and regular
people will be blown up, too, when it explodes. Still, it may
not be as bad as what would happen without that - ever
heard of boiling the frog slowly?
