well, nobody can say that Bush hasn't given Gore lots of material for his speech.

Bush campaigned as standing for smaller government than the Democrats. But under Bush the federal budget in his 2'nd year is growing by 13.9%, the fastest growth in government since LBJ when we were paying for both the vietnam war and the great society. By comparison under clinton the share of the GDP that is federal government actually shrank very slightly.

The economy is going in the wrong direction under Bush. But Bush has got that triangulation thing going. His supporters believed his campaign promises, so there's no reason to keep them, he's convincing everyone how compassionate he is by spending the taxpayers' money just like a drunken sailor would spend his own money. Only one third of this increase in spending is due to homeland defense or security.

On top of that Mr. Compassionate last year made across-the-board real cuts from one year to the next of 5% in all medicaire payments to doctors and medical service providers. In Mr. Compassionate's third year he's now planning more deep cuts in Medicaire.

Something is terribly wrong about the way this man george bush is running domestic policies. In a sickening way it is very reminiscent of his father's regime.
