Stop me if I get political

If I can't spend more than I have, why can George W. Bush? He's deficit spent more than the first 37 presidents and 197 years combined. Since I've been alive, Democrats have cut deficit spending all but four times; Republicans have raised it all but four times. Since when is it okay to take $500 million loans from East Asian communists to fund Middle Eastern wars of aggression? Sometimes I've got to vent.
