And You Thought Democrats Would Control Spending

President Bush calls the Democrat-controlled congress out on their spending gone wild.
    Congress' "budget calls for nearly $22 billion more in 
discretionary spending next year alone. … Yesterday one
called this increase – and I quote – 'a very small
difference' from what I proposed. Only in Washington can
$22 billion be called a very small difference. And that
difference will keep getting bigger. Over the next five
years it will total nearly $205 billion in additional
discretionary spending. That $205 billion averages out to
about $112 million per day, $4.7 million per hour, $78,000
per minute. Put another way, that's about $1,300 in higher
spending every second of every minute of every hour of
every day of every year for the next five years."
Can't blame this on the Republicans... So, what does the far left have to say about this, especially after their self-righteous attacks on spending last year?
