Oh, they invested alright -- in jobs overseas and junk mortgage bonds. That slippery slope actually started with Bill Clinton repealing bank regulations in the late 1990's, but the Republicans just adored it. You "economic facts" are often skewed by ideological economists. Because no matter how you try to spin it, we're in deplorable deficits, oil is $101/barrel, the housing bubble has crashed, our dollar is weak, health care costs are spiraling out of control, inflation is creeping up, and our defense spending is out of control.

What is a fact: every president in history has not cut taxes during wartime. You can whine about tax and spend liberals. The borrow and spend Republicans are even worse.
