What they are saying.......DON'T LET BUSH WRECK THE ECONOMY! Why Bush Will Derail the Economy and Jeopardize America's Future THERE IS NO BUDGET SURPLUS, AND TAX CUTS AND/OR NEW SPENDING PROGRAMS WILL WRECK THE ECONOMY! The only surplus is in the Social Security Trust Fund and every dollar of that money will be needed when the baby boomers retire, beginning about 2010. The federal government ran deficits in the operating budget for 39 years in a row before reaching an approximately balanced budget in 1999 and a small surplus in 2000 when the economy was operating full-speed with the lowest unemployment in 30 years. The operating budget will plunge back into deficit territory is a serious recession occurs. During the past twenty years the Government has engaged in more than $4.6 trillion of red ink spending, increasing the national debt from $1 trillion in 1981 to $5.66 trillion in 2000. George W. Bush's father added $1.4 trillion to the national debt just during his four-year term. Now George W. is proposing a $1.3 trillion tax cut that will benefit most the rich. There is no money for the tax cut, but if Dubya could come up with $1.3 trillion it wouldn't be quite enough to pay off the $1.4 trillion that his father added to the debt.

While his peers were messing around rearranging commas on a dead treaty, President Bush was actually accomplishing something: Putin agrees to scuttle ABM Bill Sammon THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published 7/23/01 GENOA, Italy -- President Bush yesterday reached a surprise breakthrough agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to begin talks on supplanting the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with a global missile defense shield that would be linked to cuts in nuclear missile arsenals. It was a dramatic foreign policy triumph for Mr. Bush, who was given little chance when he took office six months ago of convincing the former KGB official to scrap the ABM Treaty, which has been the sacrosanct cornerstone of nuclear nonproliferation for nearly three decades. But at the conclusion of two hours of meetings yesterday, ABM's days appeared numbered. washtimes.com
