Bush credits good economic news to "restrained government spending."
"The foundation for growth is strong," Bush said. "It's based upon low taxes and restrained government spending, legal reform, incentives for saving and investment."

1. Huh? Reduced government spending?
Edited on Fri Dec-02-05 08:24 PM by dmordue
Incentives for investment and savings must only apply to mulimillionares. I sure haven't seen any.

Nice Stamp!

4. I saw the clip. He credited tax cuts FIRST.
Looks like they're going to try to push another round through with this congress, before the midterms in 2006.

Because after that the party will be over (I hope!)

5. National Debt = $8 TRILLION...Annual Deficits = $500 BILLION
Yep...that's some HUGH restrained government spending.

Estimated National Debt by 2008 = $10 TRILLION.

You know, I THINK that Junior actually missed his vocation in life...obviously the idiot should have been a stand-up comedian. He's HILARIOUS...well he WOULD be hilarious...if it wasn't so sad...IF he hadn't sent hundreds of thousands of people to their deaths...a great majority of those people to their EARLY deaths.
