Are you aware that the "size of government" has not changed one bit. In order to create for the Department of Homeland Security, they consolidated other agencies and used personnel from agencies that were no longer considered a priority. This fact is well documented and is a matter of Public Record.

As far as increasing spending, the budget was brought before congress for an 87 Billion $ increase to help fund the War. Other than that, the budget allotment for this year is the same.

Like I said, you make these ignorant statements without having a clue about what you're talking about. (You're not only hilarious, if you had a position of responsibility, you would be dangerous!)

I never said anything about the Department of Homeland Security, so your arguing that point for no reason.

As far as increasing spending, the budget was brought before congress for an 87 Billion $ increase to help fund the War. Other than that, the budget allotment for this year is the same.

From 2001 through 2003, the federal budget expanded by $296 billion. New defense spending accounted for $100 billion of that amount, and other 9/11-induced spending on homeland security, international aid, and domestic rebuilding totaled $32 billion. That leaves $164 billion in new spending completely unrelated to defense and the 9/11 attacks.

Like I said, you make these ignorant statements without having a clue about what you're talking about.

Every statemen I have made can be backed up with facts and figures. Take your BUSHBOT arguments elsewhere. I'm not anti-Bush, I am just against his policies. I organized a rally to support Bush over Gore in 2000, I wish he would move back to the right and work to restore conservative order to the GOP.
