Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, Ann! To respond to your pre-holliday missive: If I understand the difference, then: Conservatives, unlike liberals, acknowledge that tax revenues are often spent frivolously, then vote to spend anyway - while cutting taxes? Doesn't that make the problem worse? The latest spending bill is clear evidence that the republicans are as bad as anyone when it comes to spending. And Bush? He'll sign it - and break his repeated promises to cut wasteful spending. By applying the "liberal" tag to this issue you again create distinctions between "liberals" and "conservatives" where non exist in reality. So while funds are slashed for Head Start programs, VA hospitals and other vital services, while Social Security and Medicare continue to head down the road to insolvency, the leaders of Congress are busy spending $2 million to buy back a presidential yacht first used by Herbert Hoover and sold for a little over a quarter-million bucks under Jimmy Carter, according to the Cox story. Does that make sense to anyone? This is no longer an issue of free-spending Democrats vs. tightwad Republicans. Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House and have proven they can be as cavalier in spending our money as Democrats ever were. As our nation continues to spend billions of dollars in Iraq while closing down fire stations in America, does it make sense to send $200,000 to the Aviation Hall of Fame? lufkindailynews.com!-138447944?urac=n&urvf=11014763948320.2933101128034512 Liberals won't acknowledge that tax revenues are often spent frivolously. Politicians easily find all sorts of useless ways to spend taxpayers hard-earned dollars. They will eliminate the pork only if forced to do so.
