"So pointing out the obvious, that Bush is no fiscal conservative, means you're a "Bush-hater"? What kind of rubbish is that?" ![](http://webpages.charter.net/aircover/USAflag.gif)
You are confusing cause and effect. The rooster's crowing does not make the sun rise each morning. Criticizing President Bush does not make you a Bush hater.
On the other hand, Bush-haters *will* make some rather obvious criticisms of our President. It's laughably predictable.

Energy and Education would be positive cuts.

I'm not up on all the government spending, but it seems to me that there are probably ALOT of wasteful spending and stupid programs that the government funds that could be cut instead of going after the elderly first.
I suggest that we get rid of all the illegal aliens, this would save about 60 billion a year people!!
To: ncountylee
Why do I get the feeling these aren't really cuts, but increasing spending below inflation?

RNC called me the other day, and I hollered that I wanted not one more cent to go to Palestine, Lebanon, Hamas, and the UN. I want them to spend 80% of all the saved billions in IRAQ, make it a wonderland, and give the other 20% to the military families just because we love 'em.
That got the fuindraiser off really quick.

So why is Bush just now getting on it? Prescription drug bill?

>>>>>The budget that Bush is to recommend to Congress will call for eliminating or reducing 141 programs, for a savings of $14.5 billion...$14.5 billion of a $2.7 trillion dollar budget.
The trillion dollar Bush Medicare Prescription Drug Program is alive and well.
Thanks to Bush and the GOP Congress, big government Republicanism is alive and well.
65% of the annual Bush federal budget is spent on "Human Resources", aka. welfare entitlements.
Too little too late.

It's an election year. Maybe 5 or 10 at best -- enough so that the Dems can say they saved Medicare from the diabolical Republicans and so that the GOP can say it did something. But I'm not cynical.

$14.5 billion How many hours does it take for the government to go through that much money? The study to determine which cuts to make probably cost that much.

In contrast, the president plans to recommend for the Department of Homeland Security an increase of at least 5 percent from this year's funding, $30.8 billion. The White House is also trying again to increase passengers' security fees for air travel from $2.50 per flight to $5, a proposal that Congress swiftly rejected last year. Similarly, the budget will suggest a hike of nearly 5 percent in the Pentagon's funding for next year, defense officials said.
Let's just call these "Muslim Taxes."
The b@stards are costing us a thousand different ways in security, economics, and inconvenience.

What no obligatory list of so-called Bush accomplishments according to Southack? You're slipping.
