and I read it.
So, underneath the patina of a defense, what it [the 'response']seems to say is:
"Even subtracting for military expendatures, and casting as percentage of GDP, it is still not the case that discretionary spending is declining"
I'm not sure why you are not bothered by what appears (again) to be either baldfaced and easily confirmed dishonesty, or gross incompetence.
I suspect your reasoning is:
"Bush said it, Bush is good, therefore its okay". But perhaps you have some subtle point of rhetoric and/or reason to show me otherwise?
Your un-ending defense of Bush in the face of the continual issuance of these sort of statements on so many different issues is interesting, albeit pushing absurdity.
