Please lump me with the rest of the crackpots.
Bush said he also plans to double spending next year on brownfields cleanup. Christie Whitman, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, said Bush's 2003 budget proposal will seek $102 million more than the $98 million Congress appropriated this year.
After raising the spending level to $200 million, Whitman said, the administration may propose spending $250 million in fiscal 2004.
Wonder when he is going to let the Klamuth farmers have water so they can cleanup their brownfields?
Before the war, Bush budgets called for bringing down spending to 15 percent of GDP a level we haven't seen since the 1950s.
He's wants to spend money on stuff I don't agree with, but he's cutting spending on other items.
As long as we have entitlement programs spending is going to increase every year. Now the idea is to grow the economy and make the pie bigger so spending as a percentage of the economy keeps shrinking. Facts are facts and those are the facts.
