Sure, yet, they didn't "do it". They provided the means. They can take credit for that, justly so. They cannot take credit for the work of the massive numbers of people who did the actual work that got it done. I feel that's a very important distinction. It's like taking credit for cooking a meal at a restaurant just because you paid for it. The other side of it is what politicians do when things go wrong: They blame the people doing the work. Well, if they take credit for the success they should be equally liable for all failure. That, of course, will never happen. Same thing with the economy. When things get better, they did it. When things are bad, the prior administration was at fault. They all do this, regardless of which political party they might align with. You know, just like three year old kids.
