It scares the hell out of me that people actualy believe this outdated, stale and completely fictional account of the Republican Party. This statement has not been true for 20 years, yet people repeat it like some sort of twisted fairy-tale mantra.
Discretionary non-defense spending has DOUBLED since Bush has been in office. You got that Mul? Doubled!
Do you have any idea how hard it will be to reverse that? Near impossible ... I worked on the Hill, I know. For every new dollar of government spending you create a new constituency. And they fight like hell for INCREASES every year, never mind cut backs. If you can kill one in 20 of these programs, you will be the biggest cost-cutter in history. And you will likely be voted out of office the next election.
This administration is the most fiscally-reckless bunch I have seen in my lifetime. Their absurd, incompetent management of the government will haunt us and our children for years to come.
