Molly Ivins: Winner of the Nobel Prize in Whining
For all the size of the federal budget, the amount available for discretionary spending is relatively smalL
Yup. Stick enough must-be-funded "entitlement" programs into government and you have no flexibility left. But we know that all along. We knew that when the liberals invented the d**n things.

Bush so clearly represents a change of rhetoric without a change of intent that it's almost painful. Ronald Reagan used to go around saying, "Government is not the solution; government is the problem." Newt Gingrich thought so little of the institution that he shut it down twice.
Yeah, they shut down the federal government. And most people couldn't tell that anything had happened. Gee, maybe local government still is more important.

Perhaps the single funniest argument I have heard in favor of Bush's tax cut for the rich is from CNN's Tucker Carlson, who crossly announced that it is vulgar -- vulgar -- to point out that the rich are going to get ever so much more out of this tax cut than everybody else.
Vulgar must be in the eyes of the beholder because this result doesn't look vulgar to me.
Did you like my cure for this problem? Everybody pays the same dollar amount to support the government. Then when a tax cut results in everybody getting the same dollar amount reduction, it's fair.

According to the Census Bureau, 3.7 million Americans suffer from hunger as a result of being unable to buy basic foods.
And probably 3.68 million of them are illegal immigrants.
