Bush has now sent a "very strong message" to Congress to extend the benefits and make them retroactive...

I am still waiting for evidence that President Bush has any intentions of cutting the size of the Federal government, or of trying to cut some of the waste, or of easing the burden on taxpayers, or of weaning welfare queens from the public teat, or that he has any sort convictions or ideals, or that he has a backbone, or...

Oh I know...at least it's not Al Gore; hell, Al Gore would have caved on the proposition that all those currently on the public dole should remain so, and that those of us that actually work and pay should support them. It's a good thing we have a republican in office. At least it was a republican that caved on the proposition that all those currently on the public dole should remain so, and that those of us that actually work and pay should support them. My wallet feels so much better.

Maybe you missed the proposal to farm out a large number of government jobs to private competition; or the proposal to turn over the mail system to private carriers.

I admit, more can be done and SHOULD be done. But in that first move, Bush did more to POTENTIALLY reduce the size of the federal workforce than Reagan did in 8 years.

Last I heard he was going to start including people in Mexico in on the Social Security system ---that will lead to a huge Social Security tax increast to American citizens and probably a cutting of benefits.

I think he loses this election when he gives our Social Security program to Fox and cuts Americans off unemployment benefits.
