I don't like that part, either. This is just my opinion, and worth about half a cent, but just as President Clinton had to bite the bullet (notice I didn't say bite his lip, that's something entirely different) and pass Welfare reform and other things that he was entirely against, President Bush has to regrettably move toward more spending programs.
Maybe. As I said, I like the guy. But I'm hoping he'll be a bit more hard-nosed in his second term.
