Bush was in charge so I'm sure history will give him full blame. But also remember our Democratic lead Congress voted to go into Iraq. Now we're 3 trillion dollars in debt. Its going be hard to get out without risking the lives of thousands of our troops and the stability of those nations in that region that supply most of the worlds oil. In my opinion we should be taken 1/2 the oil thats being produced in Iraq, to pay the cost of us being there. I'm sure that screaming liberals would say thats not the nice thing to do. But to blame Republicans or Democrats for the corruption in our country is absurd. 20 years ago it was junk bonds. There's always going to be people that will break the law to get rich even CEOs. I dont blame Democrats everytime a liquor store is help up by someone one welfare. Were just going to have to put these people in jail for a long time. These arguements are exactly why we should be better informed as Americans so that we make a better choice when we VOTE!!! Don't take everything said personally read listen and try to learn, alot of the guys on here are successful business men that know how capitalism works first hand.
