Repubs are going to recommend no more "supplemental" spending...

This is spending that is not added to the budget and is not counted in the deficit numbers, etc. However, it is part of the debt. The low deficits that the Repubs bragged about before election was without the supplemental spending added on. Bush is ready to ask for about $170 billion more. However, if it is added to the budget, the deficits will be larger. And, no doubt, the Repubs will point out what a tough time the Democrats are having trying to balance the budget.
