Of course, Bush could have just vetoed the spending programs, but, considering that he proposed many of them, he's not about to do that, is he?
But, in a way, you've made a far more damning case against Bush in regards to fiscal conservatism. Every conservative has his or her breaking point regarding this nonsense. I've just about reached mine.
Have fun complaining about the tax increases pushed through by Kerry/Lieberman/Dean/Edwards/Gephardt.
After all you have reached your breaking point haven't you.
