Bush aims to tame deficits with domestic cuts

Bush proposed a record $439.3 billion defense budget for 2007 aimed at fighting both unconventional terrorism and major conflicts with other nations if necessary. But the Pentagon budget did not include tens of billions of dollars in proposed new financing for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which the White House will seek separately.

Bush also hopes to squeeze $65 billion in savings over five years from mandatory programs, including Medicare, the nation's health insurance program for the elderly and disabled, farm supports and pension and other labor-related programs.

5. Something that bothers me is

that they are shifting most of the burden to the states, but what in the world are they doing with all that federal money they take in? Funding a war, Halliburton give-a-ways and big cash bonuses for the repigs.

2. There will only be more slashing once they get their war with Iran

3. In a few years

it will come to pass that the peons will overthrow the masters and the masters will become peons and the cycle will continue.
