I was looking for you to explain, not some guy named Dylan. I'll keep waiting.
"...put on the blinders and let corruption run wild" - another media-driven statement with no fact behind it. I will not defend the Bush Administration from all corruption but I don't see evidence that it was significant and/or related to the crisis. And how is Obama going to reign it in when he is nominating more tax cheats to his cabinet positions than anybody in history? If you really think he's going to be Abe Lincoln, then you really are drinking the kool-aid. LOL.
On the budget, I'll admit that I haven't read the details but I am familiar with the monstrous budgets/deficits being proposed by Obama and the left. The spending under Pres. Bush looks tame compared to what Obama has already done and is proposing go-forward.
I am a conservative and will admit that Pres. Bush should have used his veto pen more often to reign in the non-defense spending growth rate. I didn't like how it was growing nor how the Republicans were generally drinking from the trough when they should have been sticking to their principles of limited government.
Finally, the best budget is one that lowers taxes for corporations and individuals, reduces government spending and encourages the efficient use of capital. I don't know if the Republican plan does that but my guess is that they are much closer to that ideal than the monstrosity from the left. If you somehow think that an increase in government spending and instrusion in the economy is a good thing for our prosperity as a nation, then you haven't been watching the folks across the pond. They have begun to learn the lesson after years of quasi-socialism - it doesn't work because governments are inefficient and corrupt.
