1. Tres. Sec Snow continues to "BS" us....

In a statement, Treasury Secretary John Snow cited improving economic data and said the budgetary improvement shows Bush is on track to cut the deficit in half over five years as he has promised.


"All of this shows that the president's tax relief initiatives are having the intended effects," Snow said.

8. This is the neo-cons plan, bankrupt the government

So that they can privatize what they want, and kick the rest, mainly social service programs, to the curb. They have stated this goal many times and in many ways, and the deficit is their way of achieving it.
