Mr President, we have this little thing called the deficit.
I'm not trying to be some anti-Bush guy like some people around here are, but this is the type of worthless spending that is just not needed.
What happened to 1% growth in non-defense non-homeland security spending?

Again, wait to hear before doing a "scream-and-leap" over a little snip on Drudge.
The FY 2003 Budget for the NEA was $115.731 million. That included a $10 million increase that was the "biggest in years". We're probably talking about something like $20 million.

That must have been a trial balloon that went nowhere.

He said in the SOTU he would limit spending. If he pulls this, how the heck is that limiting spending???

I thought we were at war? And our very survival is at stake. Every time I hear that we don't have enough resources to defend our borders my molars start grinding. Are you aware that the Federal Government has allocated a whopping 2,000 employees to manage border security? What, we can't AFFORD MORE? Yet we can afford to increase expenditures for every f*ing nonsensical liberal program imaginable? Folks, we are being sold out by these charlatan whore politicians (GW et. al. included).
