Strengthening Constitutional Self-Government

Big Government Conservatives

I think President Bush is a great man and I’m happy that Dennis Hastert is Speaker of the House and that Bill Frist is Majority Leader in the Senate. But did you know that since George Bush became President that the Federal Budget has grown by 38% to $2.57 trillion dollars.

George Will offers some thoughts on that here .

As Bob Dole said to equal effect, "Where’s the outrage?"

One could note the same thing is happening in Ohio.

The federal deficit has also grown. Eventually we will pay for it. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

You can’t treat Bush’s grand experiments with praise and then seperate these from the financing. That is the difference between talking about a Mercedes and paying for one.
