Tip to Drudge, again.
MSNBC - Bush's agenda could top $3 trillion
"He's a big-government Republican, and there's no longer even the pretense that he's for smaller government," Moore said.
Well said. Stop the SPENDING!
UPDATE: Good catch by S. King. This article is heavy in complaining that Bush's "spending" is really tax cuts and changing social security. My point, in my rush to post before heading to a ad-hoc meeting, is that Bush has brought in a lot of extra true spending. Spending on defending the country is good, especially after being caught with our pants down on 9/11. Give aways like the medicare "reform" are things that I don't like spending money on, especially when it turns into an entitlement. Bush's notice of $2.3 billion in reductions won't do it. The deficit and the debt do matter and he needs to get on board. I can't wait to read Joe Scarborough's new book "Rome Wasn't Burnt In A Day".
Posted by Tim at September 14, 2004 02:38 PMUm, not sure if this post is sarcastic or not, but what that article is essentially saying is that the government will bring in 3trillion less, as in, they get less taxes, and workers get to keep more.
Posted by: S. King at September 14, 2004 02:46 PMIf I'm understanding S.King's point, it's a little like a guy saying he's going to buy more stuff on his VISA card than he ever did before, but---no worries, dude!---he'll save money by cutting back payments on the monthly VISA bill, and pocket a little more spending money for himself.
It makes sense to a drunk 18 year-old with his first VISA card.
