When you consider past government "projections" on spending underestimate the actual cost by 300 or 400%, I wouldn't be surprised to see this 550 billion dollar medicare bill end up costing $2 trillion this decade.
Biggest budget EVER, and new entitlements piling on every day...
Conservative?
The talk like Reagan and govern like under LBJ. Odd but true.
Disgusting.
Congressional gridlock is far preferable to "limited government" Republicans.
I love GWB for his tax stance and foreign policy, War On Terror, etc. However, I am not thrilled with his spending habits. But is there an alternative? As in, a way to get what we all really want? I don't think third parties are the answer--the only way to make it happen is to get more Republicans to grow some balls and live out Reagan's dreams--but more so. Eliminate some departments, phase out the income tax and phase in a NRST or something similar.
