I have often wondered if the people who give Bush fits for spending so much, would care to look at which expenditures of major consequence they would wish to take out....?

--Spending on the aftermath of 9-11? to the families of 9-11? to the help for NYC to clean up the debris? Should we have not spent anything here?

--Katrina. Should we have spent anything here? If so, how much?

--To the safeguarding the US from the terrorism that is rampant everywhere, and dictated by THEIR own words....should we not have done any preventative anything in this regard?

--Should we not be sending hospital ships, food and water, etc to countries that have natural disasters? i.e. Peru in the recent earthquake? Indonesia and the tsunami? etc.

--How many refugees have been signed into the country by Executive Order? We pay for them to get started from the first day they arrive. Should we be doing this?

ETC ETC ETC

NOT one person of National standing and recognition who is opposed to the high spending, is ready and able to talk about what SHOULD NOT have been spent....

I'm sure there are some things....but what exactly are they, in a multiTRILLION dollar budget....?

Just because Bush has spent money hand over fist doesn’t mean Republicans are ready to embrace Democrats as fiscal conservatives.

I would not expect them to. The GOP can still claim that tenet despite some recent activity to the contrary.

I would, however, expect Republicans to either oppose socialized medicine and welfare or think twice about their party affiliation.
