"And who SIGNED it? W"

Yes, Bush did sign spending increases for homeland security, et al. In light of the continuing threat of terrorism, I'd say it was a wise move. Now, whether that money is actually being spent wisely is another story.

If the spending for defense, or homeland security, or something related to the War on Terror needs to be raised, then great. Do it. But CUT SOMETHING ELSE!!! Don't just keep piling up on the budget.

I have no problem with deficit spending if it is directly related to national defense and other areas have been cut as well. But both you and I know there is far more than that going on here.
