If you are unaware, the very next day and in a bi-partisan effort, Fiengold and McCain banded together in an effort to cap president Bush's obnoxious and self serving money spending binge...another topic on it's own, but in response to your Fiengold vote,
hell yes!
Feingold is not going anywhere. He is too radical on the left to even win the Democratic primary.
I agree that money being spent is way WAY out of control but you cannot land it squarely at the feet of this President or any others. It is all the earmarks for special (PORK) projects every Senator and Congressman attaches to every bill that goes across the Presidents desk. Not to mention all the entitlements that the government has to pay out every year and how much they increase. Government spending is a huge problem but it is one that is owned by both Democrats and Republicans and Socialists (Bernie Sanders I'm nodding at you
) alike. This is one reason I like the Line Item veto for a President...no matter what party you are from.
But this is another topic unto itself.
