"The previous administration reckoned that the same problems could be solved by writing blank cheques to just the part of the government that doesn't have to tell us how they spend them."
That is part of what is so disappointing. Bush was an idiot, he did wrong but mostly because he didnt really know what he was doing. Since Obama chooses to carry on with the worst of Bush while adding his own, do we consider him to be a moron as well or does he know what he is doing? I think Obama knows what he is doing, he seems reasonably intelligent.
So the outcome is the same but one does it in stupidity and one does it intentionally.
