You can't prove racism or a lack there of in the opposition. Agreed.

It is true that there were not the huge protests over spending in the Bush years, though there damn well should have been. And while 500 billion is no small deficit in the Bush years, this year's projection of 1.6 trillion is significantly larger. And the perspective of the economy adds a lot to it, as you point out ISM. However, to protest spending now in the lack of protests earlier does not mean those that are protesting now are stupid.
