Cynics and malcontents are never satisfied.

I'm dissatisfied with a $2.57 trillion budget, with a record $427 billion deficit. If that makes me a cynic and a malcontent, so be it.

So much for being the party of fiscal conservatism.

As much as I'd like to see this headline:

Bush Proposes 35% Slash in Spending Across the Board

I am glad to see anything at this point.

Is this the first strike at seriously rolling back government spending? I doubt it. Conservatives consider Bush a big government Republican. I don't think these proposed cuts will change that fact either. Legitimate tax reform would be a big step in removing hard cash from the fiscally irresponsible politicos who don't care about advancing a true conservatism agenda.

The (R)'s are attempting to "advance" fiscal conservatism via a 10-steps-backward-2-steps-forward kind of approach.

Bump this to all the way to Washington, DC for crying out loud. Two thirds of what the Fed Gov does should be and could be cut. Send those social programs back to the states.

Well it's fiscal conservatism compared to the other guys.
