Mitch Daniels: Don't Focus On My Time As Bush's Budget Director



Mitch Daniels: Don't Focus On My Time As Bush's Budget Director: "On 'Fox News Sunday,' host Chris Wallace pressed Daniels on this point. 'When you came in, this country had an annual surplus for the first time in 30 years of $236 billion. When you left, two and a half years later, the deficit was $400 billion. You were also there when President Bush launched his Medicare drug benefit plan that now cost $60 billion a year. I know there was a recession, but do you think it was wise -- at a time when we were fighting two wars -- to have two tax cuts and launch a huge new entitlement?'"
