Why does media ignore deficit growth next 10 yrs for each Bush policy?

1. Because their corporate masters won't let them report on it

It might hurt "bid'ness."

2. When you allow an alcoholic to continue you're an 'enabler'. MSM enablers

allow this administration to get away with anything they want to.

3. A good analogy - media as enabler of bad choices for America

4. Heard it mentioned on NPR yesterday...and I remember the guest

saying by 2015 every family's "share" of the bill would be $85,000.
They can send my family's "share" of the bill to the nearest shrub-pickin' family since they spent my family's "share" of Clinton's surplus.

5. Because that projection can change rather quick.

At the end of 2000, the ten-year budget projection was $5 trillion. Well into 2001, it became clear that we could expect deficits in the future. Why regularly bring up projections that will be rendered moot
come Bush's next round of tax cuts anyway?

6. Liberal bias!

They don't cover it because they know some clown is going jump up and claim that simple addition has a "liberal bias", and anyone who uses those two words automatically gains control of what does and doesn't get covered in the media.

Also, anyone who uses those two words gets a cable talk show.
