3/4 of the story telling us how bad the good news is.

After three years of steadily climbing budget shortfalls, President Bush finally had some good fiscal news Wednesday: Surging revenues and a steady economy have led to a steep drop in the expected deficit for this year.

How 'bout that sh!t. And evil rich people got a tax cut ta boot!

Schumerspeak?

"It's a little early to start cheering," said Rep. John M. Spratt Jr., D-S.C., top Democrat on the House Budget Committee. "And no one should forget the track record of projecting surpluses over the last five years."

Ya gotta love these guys. "Surpluses as far as the eye can see!" Wasn't that what they told us?!

Ann Coulter was right. "To liberals, history started this morning."

Isn't that perfect, the good news really is bad and the better news is getting worse. These people are beautiful.

Schumerspeak?

Nope, I fell victim to the "qwerty" keyboard "u" and "i" and right next to each other.

No, it was Clinton's policies, just ask St. Hillary...

He shouldn't be bashed for never using the veto, or that he adamantly said he would never approve a capital gains tax cut. ? The fact is we didn't get a good tax cut until congressman Bill Thomas took over the process and GWB kept his mouth shut except to say he would sign whatever came out of congress (like that would be a surprise, he signs everything).

Republicans should realize that the Dems and the media are going exert a lot of pressure to increase wasteful spending. The last thing the Dems and the media want is for Bush to get credit for a reduced deficit. The GOP needs resist that, and cut spending, not increase it.

[Echo Talon]

well, if you haven't noticed the sentate doesn't do much... and if the President were to veto even less would get done.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Isn't amazing how one can cherry pick from Bubba?

[Moonman62]

He rarely used the veto in Texas, either. It's his style, and what he meant by the "new tone in Washington." What's the senate doing anyway, creating more regulations and departments? Whatever it is, it costs a whole lot of money with not much to show for it.

I can't believe this nonsense! The title even insists that its only the Bush administration who is crediting the deficit reduction to his policies!

[Echo Talon]

Why does he have to sit there and hold their hands? They are adults, Republicans are the majority leaders, he shouldn't HAVE to veto.

"Bush Credits Policies for Falling Deficit"

Yes, I credit Bush's policies for it too--especially the tax cut.

Ah! The worthless, Marxist, essentially sociopathic Democrats--how will they cope with all this bad (for them) news??? If they were not such a disgusting bunch of sociopaths and morons, you could almost feel sorry for them. I observe with authority; my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were all Democrats. My children are ALL Republicans!

[citizencon]

Why isn't the 1% of the MSM that is sympathetic to Bush's policies (translation: pro-American, pro-truth)helping to promote this good news?

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Anyone with half a brain realizes taxes have been decreased and the deficit is down $100B. NO tax increases. We have more jobs and more money in people's pocket's, who in their right mind is going to ascribe to the theory of the rich stealing from the poor? Strike two against the liberals on supply side.
