Increased Spending, Deficit Produce Political Danger for GOP

Hey GOP, dump Bush. His spending orgy will bankrupt the country. I so wish there is a primary challenger in 2004.

[Reeses]

The bad news is the Republicans have moved to the left so that they are now the populist party. The good news is the Democrats have been forced more to the left, to the edge of communism, and have lost their appeal. Conditions are ripe for a new party to pop up on the right. Free Republic just might play a role in this. This movement is natural. Over time most institutions slowly move to the left, until they go bankrupt.

Is the Tax Cut for Real?
"The Bush administration inherited a federal budget of $1.86 trillion, and now proposes to spend $2.3 trillion in 2004, for a whopping 23.6 percent increase in federal spending in this short period. The Bush presidency has far outspent Clinton's in every category. As Cato's Chris Edwards says, "[B]ased on his first three budgets, President Bush is the biggest spending president in decades." To close the gap between spending and revenue, said a report commissioned by the US Treasury, would require an "immediate and permanent 66 percent across-the-board income tax increase."

HOW CONSERVATIVE IS PRESIDENT BUSH?

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

I don't think i've seen Bush reject one spending proposal

How often does he accept what they originally asked for?
In light of the "moderates", what is our advantage in the senate?
Considering the previous, what was the better plan?

[Willie Green]

If Juanterm had based his economic policies on what is best for the American People, he could have been a great president.
Instead, he pandered to the convoluted partisan proposals advocated by special interests.
He will be known in history as the president who plundered the American Middle Class and the U.S. Treasury.

You provide two options -

Don't send legislation to Bush
Create negative relationships everywhere

Once again, bills which conceded enough to make the left happy were signed, and most importantly issues were destroyed. What do you think will be the primary themes of the DNC campaign in 04?

Just wait until this prescription benefit gets done.

And Grassley is pushing it under Medicare.

I want to know why Clinton's tax increase on senior's SS benefits wasn't repealed; then they could pay for their own medicine.

Who increased taxes on Social Security?
Who increased deficits on Social Security?
Who wrote the education bill?

Once again the sheeple thought that a conservative was being elected. And I can hear all of GW's supporters saying what would you want a Gore? The answer is no. We did not get a Gore because he was again the worst of the two - the two- got it only two puppets ever have a chance at being president & I knew 3 yrs prior that GW was the chosen one. If you didn't see it you were totally nieve. So lack of competition thru the "cartel" gives us this mess. Do as you always do & I guarantee you get what you have always gotten - more debt, less freedoms, less national security,etc.
