Dumbing down of America shows in voting
Please do not confuse these people any further. They do not know their left from their right.
Also include the work of The Frankfurt School's minions in public education, teaching schools and the NEA.
No federal budget proposal by President Bush has contemplated $40B in "AIDS relief" - you're just making numbers up.
or do you mean the prescription drug benefits
While Medicare Part D is far from a desirable program, the case can be made that it saves Medicare money over the long term.
or do you mean the expansion of almost every government entitlement program far past inflationary rates
Apparently you are unaware of how these programs work and how little the President has to do with them.
or maybe “bio fuel” subsidies or drug research subsidies
Alternative fuel subsidies and pharmaceutical research subsidies are not new programs introduced by President Bush. They have been around for decades.
The fact remains that out of a 3T federal budget, 2.3T of it is non-discretionary and really out of the President's hands.
What a joke, this is what public education gives us.
Indeed. LOL
What a joke, this is what public education gives us.

Liberals have done this on purpose, the like to dumb down the sheep.
wide awake He GW Bush asked for most of the spending increases, he could veto anything congress put forward
HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY while they were spending like drunken democrats in congress
Wrong.
he could veto anything congress put forward
There is no line item veto. Vetoing the federal budget appropriations bill means vetoing all defense appropriations as well.
Not really an option ever, but especially not during wartime.
HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY while they were spending like drunken democrats in congress
You need more nuts-and-bolts information on how Congress actually operates.
“whose voting”??????
You mean ‘who’s voting’. ‘Whose’ is the possessive form of who. ‘Who’s’ is the contraction of ‘who is’.)
How ironic is that?
When you are going to decry ignorance and the fruits of our publik education system, it is a good idea to avoid gross grammatical/spelling errors like “whose voting” in the title of your vanity article. Otherwise, you are inviting all kinds of good-natured (and some not so good-natured) abuse.
Otay, you’re right (not left) GW has been a government shrinking spending thrift president, forcing congress to cut spending at every corner, being a true steward of the American taxpayers hard earned money, oh yeah he did not spend our money, its all borrowed
I’m not trying to say President Bush is the anti-Christ! He tied to privatize part of social security, he tried to make permanent tax cuts a priority, he has protected this country from further attacks; but he does have faults also, he wants to be the end all to all people and give away the ship. I believe his compassion goes a little to far his desire to spend for “compassions” sake is greater than his ability with the income the government has
“What a joke, this is what public education gives us.”
A lot of the home school crowd seems to like Huck, so that blows homeschooling in my book.
The majority of those talking to Hannity claim to not know who he is.
I'd not agree to talk to anyone on a phone just handed to me on the street.
Dat’s where I gotted it.
LOL. What a classic thread.
Labored and desparate sarcasm is not an argument.
Again, the President has been faced with a choice: either make budget compromises or be denied essential funding for the war effort.
He has chosen wisely.
That is what Jay said when he ended the segment.
Precisely. In other words, thoughtful people have been edited out of the equation before Hannity's producer even gets to the phones.
The head of the Government Accounting Office (GAO) was interviewed on Glenn Beck a few weeks ago.
His position is non-partisan; he has served under every president since Ronald Reagan.
The GAO head said that we are heading for an economic collapse worse than the Great Depression within 5 years if we don’t change our ways. The GAO head said the national debt is MUCH higher than the politicians have been telling us, and he’s worried that all of the foreign countries that have lent the U.S. trillions of dollars may call in those loans in the not too distant future.
The GAO gentleman told Glenn Beck that the worse move by any president during his tenure at the GAO was George W. Bush’s prescription drug plan. The GAO head mention that this drug plan, over a period of time, will cost 8 trillion dollars. Just wait until we have socialized medicine, plus $400 billion - $1.2 trillion a year spent on so-called global warming, etc. We’ll soon see what that does to our national debt.
