Did he demand an end to spending when W pushed through medicare rx benefits that added to the deficit. What about other bills that have been passed recently, why not make a stand then?

He could have back then, but didn't. Now that he's retiring and doesn't give a care, he's decided to make his statement, berate and flip off reporters.

I think the big picture your missing here is that W didn't have a huge stimulus package with no way to pay for it AND a good portion of it has still not been used. Now why is that? Is he holding it or using it for some underhanded reason?

ALL of the government needs to be reign in on spending what we don't have. But it has to start somewhere that is my point.

Where do you want it to start? When do you want it to start? Or do you want it to continue on as usual?
