Woohoo! Keep on SPENDING GOP! Let's bring this country to its knees! So much for the contract with America.

ANy estimates on what it costs to live in Belize? I wanna bail on this country ASAP.

Fiscal conservatives within the GOP

Where?

Click the link - trust me.

the federal debt limit to nearly $9 trillion

And the major costs of last year's Pill Bill don't even start until 2007.

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!

Congress has lowered taxes but they're just spending and spending and spending. They're out of control.

Please let me know when you get the cost of living figures. I'll be right behind you. Hey, where's that plane the Hollyweirdos were going to leave on? Maybe it's up for sale since they didn't use it. LOL I don't know if we can survive another 3 1/2 years of this "compassion."

[cripplecreek]

Well, can't deny that the impending massive loss of the republicans in 06 is well deserved.

[Glenn]

they are all mad.

[keepingtrack]

And the war is off budget as well. I'm not saying that to be anti-war, just pointing out that this is yet another huge chunk of money that current statements about the deficit do not include.

Nah, right on the ball. You forgot that they just passed legislation making extremely difficult for YOU, as an individual, to declare bankruptcy.

Makes perfect sense to me. :o)

[Ignatius J Reilly]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Whatever happened to conservatives that thought it was important to tighten the purse strings and shrink government

This admin is NOT fiscally conservative, in fact some of the liberal spew about them being beholden to corporate interests above that of the rank and file citizen semm to have some grounding

/shakes head - 'can't believe I said that' but posts anyway

Yep. A tax cut without a corresponding spending decrease is not a cut at all; it's just passing the bill to future taxpayers.

[Lazamataz]

That is so frickin sad.

[soccer_linux_mozilla]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CUT SPENDING, you drunken sailors!!

[Lazamataz]

they are all mad.

Yup.

Unless they plan on declaring bankruptcy.

[Shermy]

It's a tax deferrment.

So many reasons but the "pill bill" is going to hurt big too, more corporate welfare with a happy face.

[Lazamataz]

I hate to say it, but the banned Arete (Richard W.) might be right after all.

[Spiff]

Do we even HAVE a national-level Republican Party anymore!!!? Or did the RNC and congressional Republicans just jettison everything Republicans are supposed to stand for? Not much better at a state level here in AZ. We can't find a Republican with enough guts to stand up against the leftist extremist Democrat Governor in a REPUBLICAN, Red state!!
