The Bush Economic Legacy: Temporary tax cuts accompanied by permanent spending increases, followed inevitably by permanent tax increases
Phantom Lord <--- Has long predicted that within a decade the cost of the prescription drug boondoggle will be approaching $1 TRILLION a year.
This is the point where us folks who point to this decidedly non-conservative legacy of George W. Bush get pounced on by partisans, right?
Thanks a lot, Bush - you free-spending, Big Government idiot.
And the main part of the drug bill doesn't even start until 2007.
To those who holler about HillaryCare: In 5 years you will be complaining about this BushCare financial fiasco. Its cost still hasn't been fully determined, but the price tag keeps going up and up, and the senior citizens are not the major beneficiaries. So who are benefitting? Drug and insurance companies.
Staggering. Please?
Libertarian ping.To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here.thelibertarians were predicting this 6months before this bill passed so do anybushbots care to explain why a majority should vote for the small goverment progun tax cutting republicans?
Clearly we should rescind the drug "benefit".
My prediction is that when the government starts paying for drugs, it will put a cap on what it will pay, like it does with Medicare. If I owned drug stock, I'd dump it.
