What farm subsidies do the dems want to cut? What anything do the dems want to cut - other than funds for our troops?

Stunning. That is an increase of almost 8% over the projected budget for FY2004. The proposed budget for FY2004 was $2.229 Trillion. Of course, with typical mismanagement, the Bush administration is now going to spend $2.295 Trillion - but what is another $66 Billion among friends?

BTW, the current forecast for the FY2004 deficit (end Sept, 2004) is $639 Billion. Another record.

Wrong, congress approves all budgets and it is congress who is responsible. This bs you try to pass on here is no different than the employment information regarding Presidents.

You like social security and medicare and medicaid entitlement programs right? The growth of those entitlement programs are largely responsible for the balooning budget.
