I thought Bush was the biggest mistake this country has ever seen?

Don't know anyone who thinks we can cost cut or tax cut our way out of this recession. The spending may be very high, but there's only so much hurt it can cause over the next two years, and if things are going poorly the Dems will loose control of the Congress.

I'm personally less concerned with the short-term deficit as I am fixing the bigger issues of health care over the next few decades. While I'm not for a single payer system I have zero confidence the Republicans can address this issue.

Then again, Obama's policy might also just work.
