<<Actually it is my understanding that on the normal stuff (excludes war on Terrorism) Bush has told Congress to hold the line at 4% max increase and that in fact they have done that.>> It's amazing what you'll swallow, not even close. This from David Boaz of the CATO institute: Leave aside defense spending and even entitlements spending: In Bush's first three years, nondefense discretionary spending -- which fell by 13.5 percent under Ronald Reagan -- has soared by 20.8 percent. You can read his whole article here: washingtonpost.com And then there's that 400 billion add on to Medicare and huge tax cuts which still haven't kicked in and you can see we'll be in debt until someone with a little fiscal honesty and responsibility comes along.
