TPS Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Republicans are so fiscally responsible. Ok, I'm gonna cut non-defense, non-homeland security expenditures, but I'm going to increase defense and homeland security expenditures, and exclude the cost of Iraq and AFghanistan from my budget numbers, and cut more taxes, but my budget is fiscally sound. I guess they know the lemmings won't vote against them.... At least they were smart enough to leave out the long term budget projections, because the numbers aren't pretty. Sheesh!

"The budget's not being cut, it's just being increased at a slower rate, so the deficit grows at a slower rate." How about cutting the actual budget to reduce the federal debt? Nah...that would make sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
