Aren't we trying to CUT spending?

Okay...so we all know the "trim" budget George has for planned for us is supposed to cut spending...even if it's $2.75 trillion dollars and does NOT include funds for Iraq...and will not even make a DENT in the deficit...but NOW we hear it's even WORSE than initally thought.

How could it be worse you ask? The Medicare Benefit, that's how. Apparently they were off a few billion dollars. When they announced THAT ridiculous plan back in 2003, the administration said that, over ten years it would cost $534 billion dollars. Well, it turns out now, that it will cost $1.2 TRILLION. Is it just me, or is it only since this particular administration that we have been talking more and more about things costing TRILLIONS of dollars?!?!

And speaking of things being larger than they appear...now, the main difference between Republicans and Democrats supposedly is that the Democrats believe the government can help us in our lives and the Republicans want the government LESS in our lives. Then WHY is it that, according to the Washington Post (and heck just anybody who has spoken out against the goverment over the last five years) Bush's agenda "...calls for Bigger More Powerful Government"? And apparently, some conservatives are "concerned" All I have to say to them is: Darn Tootin' you should be. We all should be CONCERNED. You shoulda been CONCERNED in 2000!!! Have they not been watching this man and his people (Karl Rove-evil genius) over the last five years? Have they not picked up on this until NOW? I do know that George is definitely scarier this year...he's got nothin' to lose as he's out after the 2nd term. Anyone notice how he sounds a bit more like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons when he talks?

And speaking of being concerned...my friend Walter passed on an article "Filed by Matt Drudge" about how George, while in Nebraska trying to push his Social Security Bill, was queried by a woman who has three jobs; a situation he found "uniquely American":

MS. MORNIN: That's good, because I work three jobs and I feel like I contribute.

THE PRESIDENT: You work three jobs?

MS. MORNIN: Three jobs, yes.

THE PRESIDENT: Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that. (Applause.) Get any sleep? (Laughter.)

*Sigh* Yep, that's MY President...back off, Europe, he's mine...


IN THE MEANTIME...

Condi moves FAST! (and that's why George likes her {did I just say that?}). She's asking Europe to "put aside their differencs" and help create a "safer world" by helping to "create freedom" in the Arab world (um...has anyone asked how the Arab nations feel about this? AND she's already admonishing Iran saying if you don't change your ways, we're gonna slap you with sanctions! While she starts giving Iran the proverbial nuggie, she apparently feels it's okay to leave Sharon and Abbas alone now to work out their differences.

As things get scarier and scarier remember to KEEP E-MAILING!! E-mail, call, write, fax your Congressfolk, the press and your friends and family. Let them know that you are PAYING ATTENTION and WILL NOT ALLOW this budget to go through. And as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

all right, back to the phones (they're makin' me WORK today...and I only have ONE job!)

Peace --Alex
