And we’re supposed to listen to this?
RNC mouthpiece Ken Mehlman on the upcoming elections:
“If you are someone who favors small government,” Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman said, “you’re going to have a clear choice between someone who has cut taxes every year in office, who believes you ought to own your own health care . . . and who plans to cut the deficit over five years versus people who have consistently supported more spending, have opposed tax cuts and who oppose patients owning their own health care. The question is, who’s on your side for reducing the size of government?”
This government, Ken? The one YOUR PARTY has governed with an iron hand for five years?
Bush Signs Bill to Raise Debt Ceiling
WASHINGTON – With no fanfare, President Bush signed a bill Monday pushing the ceiling on the national debt to nearly $9 trillion.
The measure allows the government to borrow an additional $781 billion and prevent a first-ever default on Treasury notes. It also lets the government pay for the war in Iraq without raising taxes or cutting popular domestic programs.
The debt limit increase was the fourth of Bush’s presidency, totaling $3 trillion. With the budget deficit near record levels, an additional increase in the debt limit almost certainly will be required next year. </i>
Who listens to this crap anymore? Oh yeah, a decreasing number of Homer Simpsons…
