That's one reason Bush went along, he had no choice, because they tied spending to the war funding.

Sorry...I refuse to hold Bush blameless.
They had 6 years with both houses and the Presidency and the increased spending every year, even without including the military.
They had every opportunity to make the reforms that the right is calling out for now...and they failed.
I blame the Republicans from 2001-2006 for the crap we have now more than I even blame the Democrats. They set the climate for it. They created the "but you did it!" mentality...and they can't deny it.
It's why we
have to have the new blood like the Tea Party stand up and actually make something happen.
