Shrub is a tyrannical. warmongering asshole!!
FUCK YOU SHRUB, you bastard!

White House Budget Proposal Boosts Military Spending, Cuts Health Care
President Bush unveiled his $3.1 trillion proposal on Monday. The plan calls for major cuts to health spending while leaving a $400 billion. The budget would extend Bush’s tax-cuts beyond their expiration date for 2011 at a cost of $635 billion.

President Bush: "In order for this economy to grow, it is important to make the tax relief permanent, and that is what this budget reflects. It is a budget that boosts money for education, and health and housing, it helps us deal with the issue of making the tax code more fair for individuals who want to buy health insurance in the individual market.”

The budget proposes spending cuts or freezes for most government agencies. The Homeland Security and Pentagon budgets would be among the few seeing increases, with the military getting a seven percent boost. Including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. military spending would reach at least $690 billion. The White House budget plan estimates the wars will cost $70 billion this year, a figure widely seen as far too low. Bush’s plan would meanwhile cut billions from health care.

President Bush: “This budget is one that keeps spending under control. Discretionary spending is held to less than 1 percent. It elements 151 wasteful or bloated programs, saving the taxpayers 18 billion dollars. It also takes a hard look at entitlement growth over the next five years, and provides specific recommendations to save $208 billion dollars over those five years.”

The $208 billion cited by the President would come from deep cuts to Medicare and a freeze on new Medicaid spending. Among the other programs on the president’s chopping block: food assistance for poor children, and grants for career and technical education, community development and revitalizing public housing.

1. Thanks so much for the reminder tonight of who is the most evil president in history
As we hurl thunderbolts in the primary, your reminder is so very welcomed.

I pray the Dems in Congress fight back. I doubt they will.

4. We still have a year to decide who in the Congress is worth keeping.
Stunts like this - and seeing who votes yea or nay - are exactly what we need to decide who's fer or agin' U.S..

And I agree, thanks for the reminder, even thought the numbers on the MSM and CSPAN are amazing to watch. Who'd a thunk?

7. Gee, those tax cuts haven't helped the economy as yet;
as a matter of fact, the economy has been going downhill. But the stubborn asshole still wants to make those cuts permanent. Why haven't the people realized that all of his actions are harming us rather than helping us?
