Pretend it is your money for once....

He has always thought it was his money to spend the way he wants. He makes a pledge and then he tells the American people to pay up and shut up.

I thought I saw an article the other day that claimed he was going to start *cutting* spending.

Yeah, just like when clifton was in office, a smaller increase is a cut.

This administration's spending is an embarassment.

I do believe ol' George is drinking again.
Pretend it's your money for once, Georgie, and take another look, mmmmmmmmK?

Good ole George... never saw a fat spending bill he didn't like and couldn't sign.

Georgie, how about cutting that bill in half before you sign it?

A 10% increase is way over the rate of inflation.

Maybe what he's promising is 11% inflation?

Some are saying he is out of control, If nothing more his spending is. And now to add the TRILLIONS for SS reform that he seems hell bent to change.

Congress and Senate will regret all this spending in 2008 what will they tell their loyal conservative base about their spending sprees?

Is that a laugh or what.

Yep. I laugh at pretty much everything that comes out of this administration of Big Stupid Government.

I just hope the underground economy is able to compensate for most or all of this political-parasite waste.

Yep, I think I saw another article recently that gave evidence for that being true.
