Actually, I don't believe I've read the Financial Times budget review. But I can guess it's a negative spin. My views on the budget can be summed up rather easily. 1. The budget spends to much, and one way to reduce spending, is too limit the supply of funds available. 2. Taxes are too high, forcing many families to have both parents working which directly leads to many of our sociological problems. 3. Budgetary numbers can be massaged and manipulated to present nearly any image one desires. 4. Nearly everyone who opposes Bush's tax cut and budget, opposed Reagan's two decades ago. 5. Nearly everyone who opposes Bush's tax cut and budget, are unwilling to say they would like us to return to the 73% marginal tax rate we had before Reagan. 6. Practically no one will precisely define what they mean by the rich while they demagogue Bush's budget as being only for the rich.
