To begin with, BUSH is not your man when it comes to cutting spending. He has YET to see a spending bill he won’t accept, and you know it. The only way it will happen is if we elect a President who vetoes EVERY SINGLE spending bill until Congress gets the idea that he’s serious and cuts out the illegitimate stuff... If you accept the legitimacy of such spending or sigh wistfully that you wish it would stop but it can’t, then it never will. Because the ones who WANT it speak far louder than your wimpy “I wish.”
“Congress gets the idea ... and cuts out the illegitimate stuff”
‘illegitimate stuff’ that shouldn’t be there in the first place. Non-Federal spending on the Federal budget needs to be recuperated by taking back from those who passed it, i.e. seize their estates and pensions.
