Scumbria Re..I love this Reagan Republican game where they buy votes with a tax cut, and then leave it up to the Democrats to fix the budget damage ten years later.<<<

That is your version of the truth. The version GW is putting out has more resonance and will carry the day. Congress has never been able to control itself. 8% increase in spending last yr. was atrocious. If you gave your wife 5 unlimited credit cards and told her to have a ball but spend wisely, how far in debt will you be in a quick hurry. Thats the problem here. With a slowdown in GDP, the gov. also needs to slow down its spending. With a recession looming, now is not the time for gov. to be piggish. You can see how far that piggish attitude got Bill and Hillary.

We have one shot to pay off the debt, and Bush is flushing it down the toilet

Get real. Now is not the time. Hoover also cut the budget back in 1929 when a recession was looming. Look how far that got him. Getting the economy going again is far more important. Getting a massive drive going to find new energy sources, new and alternate sources, could give the country a huge lift now and in the future. What we need is a plan to address this country's problems, not individual groups.
