It's still 10%. That's pretty big. In actual numbers, 8 billion is a HUGE number. This is our money, in case you forgot. If people are off 10% in your personal life, are you as forgiving? Whatever.

It's no matter to me, the current number won't be enough either. But talking about 'screaming' dems while defending stuff like this is why I am starting to wean myself from FR. They lied. Just admit it.

I would probably vote for Arnold. It wouldn't be because 'he can win', but because I tend to define conservatism as government staying as far out of our personal lives as possible. But the arguments made on his behalf show so well how this party is about NOTHING more than winning. Both parties are the same. Winning is everything; it makes no difference that they both sell us down the river. And recently, the GOP is more guilty than the dems.

Go ahead. Defend the GOP spending our money at a record rate. We can all have a big laugh at the dems when they point it out; er should I say 'scream and hatefully moan.' Cause we know what soulds like hateful screaming from the GOP side is just them pointing out the truth. Both paties make me sick. Frig em both -- and their partisans.

In general, I agree with what you're saying.

10%, as an estimate months in advance for a major project, not too bad. If you were building a big deck that was estimated at a weeks work and $5000, if it ran an extra day in construction because a huge boulder was found under where a post was to be sunk, and came in at $5500, not bad.

As for the supplimental, I can excuse the extra money because I'd rather see it spent on the Constitutional duty of national defence than to promote more socialism at home(I know, social programs will still get theirs). The pubbies have been a huge disapointment to me in many areas now that they have both houses and the White House, but when the hard leftists attack them when they are taking care of one of the enumerated responsibilities, I will defend them on that.
