If you are going to quote me, quote me correctly. Who do you think you are, Harry Reid? Where in my post is that quoted text? Where is any mention of thanking Bush? The gist of my thread was that the cheese doesn't stand alone. Congress - both republican and democRAT - are the worst spenders. In many cases a President has to go along because they cannot veto everything. GWB is not up for re-election but ALL of the House is and a third of the Senate. Let's focus the spending anger on them, epsecially if they originated the spending.

And my point about LEO and military was simply that they give value for their public service and I'll defend that statement to the death. If there is to be any federal benefit for them, GI Bill, pay raises, or loan forgiveness after 10 years, then that is spending I can support. Not benefits for the under assistant deputy for mouse trap grants. Consider too that the 10 year service requirement prolly means that there is a retention goal. And again, that is important for the military. Chances are that's the bone that was thrown to the pubbies. I didn't thank GWB for that but it is a part of the bill that has some actual purpose to it.

Lord knows I screw up enough on my own. But please don't misquote me again or you will find your post for sale on eBay. Will you be twice the man as Harry and apologise? (Or thirce the lady as Nancy if appropriate).
