The balance of your argument seems to be that if you wait, the grand design will emerge, and all this spending will ... gee, I'm not sure what you think will happen to all this spending.
Because if there is one fact in Washington, it is this: No spending program is ever removed without an act of G-d.
So, we will have these vast new spending programs, in perpetuity. Please explain to me how this is even remotely conservative.
The point is that it is not conservative, but tax cuts are!

In the scheme of things, yes, that is my argument. I don't think for one second Bush is finished. However, I do think that whatever plan he has is on the backburner to the WOT.
I'm saying we're arguing about two things here because I can not deny you are right in your assessment that this kind of spending is socialistic as a hole, but that is only one aspect of the whole argument.
