"Bush said, the government is on track to spend $45 billion on information technology in 2002, more than is allocated for highways and roads, but this expenditure has not cut the government's cost or improved people's lives in any way we can measure." Obviously this man doesn't understand or support our technology industry which is our #1 expoert for the future. High-tech always saves money. Bush just doesn't like the tech business because it doesn't give him as much soft money as the Energy Cartel, pollutors and HMO's. Watch him try to cut this just as tech companies are fighting for their lives thereby further hurting the new economy. And what a hypocrite saying we need high-tech Star Wars but government tech spending is unnecessary. He's grasping for something he doesn't mind cutting I guess, an industry he doesn't owe much to. Has he offered to reduce or eliminate the 33 billion in tax breaks he's offering Big Energy cronies so tax-payers can foot the bill for them to go in and devastate our wildlands and pollute our air and water more? Not likely. Has anyone ever heard of Bush even using a computer? Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't he even know how they work. But he sure does know how to give our money to Big Energy and anyone else who feeds him enough soft money.
