Indeed. I have to agree. Republicans build incredibly expensive gubmit agencies. This current guy is the all time heavyweight champion of gubmit spending. That follows a pattern. The last guy to balance the budget, now who was that? Oh yeah, Clinton.

The last time we had runaway gas prices was during the Carter administration. OPEC was formed, production was rolled back and prices went through the roof. It more than quadrupled then, causing runaway inflation. Dubya was not able to manage a quadrupling of gas prices (though he gave it a good try), but I just wonder what his final economic numbers are going to look like compared to Carter's. My guess is we will have a new Whipping Boy in terms of the most terrible White House administration of all time.
