And who is responsible for that? DeLay and Rove are horse trading favors here to keep Bush elected. There is little that makes sense in the fiscal policies of this administration. Tax cuts are nice but you have to cut spending as well. They want it both ways.
"Tax cuts are nice but you have to cut spending as well."
Reagan argued for both tax and spending cuts. He got his tax cuts, but the democrat controlled legislature largely prevented the spending reductions.
Bush has had the ability to both because his party controlled the legislative majorities, but it has been the leaders of the legislature that refused to do battle with Bush/Rove. Including DeLay.
