I'd rather spend tax money on scientists and engineers than gasbag politicians, their whores, and welfare farmers. Best, of course, is to read the Constitution and not spend it on any of these or the millions of other pork projects.

That being said, Bush Jr. just refuses to prioritize anything. He wants to spend our money on every damn thing that pops into his head, if it'll buy him a few more votes. Spend all our money, and then some - just put everything on the deficit pile.

That's not exactly the limited government we were sold, is it?
