Can you think of ANY presidents without failures in their administration?
No? Then what is your point?
And no, President McCain would have had to spend his way out of that horrendous recession too. There was NO consumer demand so government was the spender of last resort. So, debt and deficit.
How do you think the debt will look with a big fat tax cut together with proposed spending increases for the Pentagon?
Keep on believing in fairy dust economics, if it makes you feel better.
