there is zero chance I would retire early for the benefit of someone else. Leave roughly a million on the table is not smart by any standards.

You might check your facts again. In 2006 the Democrats took control of both houses of Congress for the first time since 1994.

The 700 billion dollar TARP program also originated under Bush.

I realize that you think we're funny since you don't have a clue how to balance the budget. The funniest thing I've ever heard is the Democrats claim to be better at balancing the budget. Chart the federal deficit against who has control of the house and you'll find a huge correlation of higher deficits associated with Democrats (liberals) in control.

Clinton likes taking credit for balancing the budget--but the Republicans forced the cuts to reduce spending. Along the same lines, the Democrats love to blame Bush II for huge deficits--even though they wrote/passed the laws that spent all of the money. (By the way, I blame Bush too--for not vetoeing all of the waste the Democrats passed under his watch)
