Let me get this straight. Is the budget proposing to increase the gas
taxes four-fold first, then switch it over to a user fee structure
afterward or are the user fees going to ON TOP of an increased gas
tax? If it's the latter, then we are all about to get our asses handed
to us.

Bush term has run up more Federal deficit than any other president. We
are SWAMPED in Federal red ink. We are getting away with it, for now.
But it will rear it's ugly head someday, I believe. Trillions of
Federal debt!!

We heard all that in the 80's. Won't happen.

Yup. A democrat will have to come clean up the mess, and get blamed for
stifling the economy because taxes went up, all to pay off Bush's war
tab. Infuriating.

Hey, if they (the Democrates) are dumb enough to run and win the office,
then no complaining about it later.

Infuriating that revenues are at an all time high?

It's the SPENDING, stupid!

Defense is all of 16% of the budget, up from 14.5%.

A peak at Article 1, Section 8 might be a benefit, too.

Get a clue!

While the cost of the war in Iraq is high, it PALES in comparison
with what social and entitlement programs cost the American taxpayer.

If we are in a 'mess' it is because there is NO ONE in Washington DC
with enough balls to reject the incessant pandering & PC mentality
that has emasculated the current tired old politicians. They are
totally unable to do what it takes to make the United States a
repected world power as it once was.
