about the spending habits of liberals, yet do nothing in congress to reduce spending, or even to stem the increase.
Case in point 1- when Bush first came in, he negotiated with Lott and Hastert over spending.
Bush wanted a 4% increase (note: NOT decrease), Lott wanted 8% (again, INcrease).
If memory is right, Lott won.
Case in point 2 - A few years ago, the Seante held hearings on getting rid of the Department of Commerce.
When they started getting down to the details they where stupid at every turn :
e.g. "Why do we need NOAA when we can get the weather forecast from the TV?"
They gave up and we still have a monolithic Department of Commerce.
Case in point 3 - the proposed Department of Homeland Security. Oh yeah, that will surely cut spending....
Cheers,
Tony
