  Tad DeHaven on Joshua Bolten & the Budget on NRO Financial
Joshua Bolten, the president's budget chief, took to the opinion pages of The Wall Street Journal a week ago to defend the Bush administration's record on the budget amid rising complaints.
Bolten begins by trotting out the same tiresome excuses we've been hearing for several years: The deficit was caused, first, by declining federal revenues resulting from a sluggish economy and, second, by the need to spend money to fight terrorism.
Bolten claims that in the last year of the Clinton administration, this category of spending grew by an "eye-popping" 15 percent.
