Ya know, I appreciate all the president is doing for the world but I didn't know the cost would be us getting thrown overboard.

I'm surprised that someone hasn't shown up yet defending the GOP's version of socialism...
Demcorats = Tax and Spend
Republiucans = Borrow and Spend

Belize is nice I spent a week there, great fishing, language is English, parts can be cheap. Costa Rica is also very nice, much more affordable.

A tax cut without a corresponding spending decrease is not a cut at all; it's just passing the bill to future taxpayers.Especially when it's only a temporary cut. Taxes go back up automatically after ten years, without Congressmen even having to go on record as supporting it. So it's not surprising that this cut won't result in decreased spending, because there's no incentive for it to. All it will do is add to the deficit, and discredit the cause of cutting taxes in the future.

The debt is a time bomb for the country. I have a 31 year old daughter. I don't have a clue how her generation will handle this monster. They may not be able to.

I'm at least happy to see that mathematical-ineptitude of our GOP controlled government does not reflect on their conservative constituents (or it does not appear so at all from the posts so far).
So, the big question on my mind is, *we're* the ones who put these guys in power, *we're* the ones who were out campaiging and writing letters and blogging and pulling the weight in these last elections, *we're* in unanimous consensus that the government needs to reign in spending... and yet, we're being completely ignored?
I guess the GOP has decided that if they put a good enough show on to convince us that they're better than the Dems then they can screw us over on everything else.

12 zeros! they are out of control!

I can guarantee you this. If Al Gore or John Kerry proposed any of the spending itmes that Bush have, we would have seen the Republicans in Congress fighting tooth and nail over them.
To: Amelia
You just hit on the irony of the situation.
Hillary is already running as a "budget balancer" with surpluses galore and they actually can make the case while we plunge the nation deeper and deeper, go figure.

The irony is that Hillary and the new centrists of the Dem party will harp on this as an issue in '08. And they, very likely, will be successful in converting it into a Dem win in '08.

GW appears to be playing the same game the Clintonista/rats did. Do anything to get elected/re-elected, whatever the cost.

If you're going to spend like Canada, you have to tax like Canada. Don't be like Canada.
On the other hand Canada is currently paying off its debt which is about 1/2 per capita what the US debt is.
