Here is a lesson in Political Science 101. The President is a legislative leader. When the President's own party controls Congress, the President proposes legislation and his party is expected to enact most of the President's legislative agenda. Bush has proposed and, with the support of his Republican party, the congress has enacted two tax cuts which, by the President's own admission, are responsible for 25% of the current budget deficits. If the President wishes spending cuts, he is expected to include those cuts in his budget. In this case, Bush proposed a budget of 2.2 Trillion and most of it was enacted with the support of Congressional Republicans.

As a member of the X generation, you will bear the full brunt of the Bush budget deficits. Too bad. If the Democrats had remained in control, the deficits would have been much smaller and you would have received some of your money back.
