> Ron Reagan : the Case Against George W. Bush

31 July 2004, 22:33

At the last State of the Union Speech Bush promised his administration would not pass on debt to future generations, and he would demand fiscal reponsibility from Congress. Can anyone tell me what spending bill this "president" has ever vetoed? He promised that the Social Security fund would be put in a lockbox. Some lockbox, we face an escalating deficit of $445 billion (actually much higher if social security surplus is not used to reduce the deficit) and best current estimates predict continuing huge deficits as far as the eye can see. Yet, does this administration take reponsibility, much less remedial action? No, we need more tax cuts (selectively chosen) for it’s plain to see that if tax cuts solve the awkward embarrassment of surpluses then they must surely be a cure to deficits!

Man, this is not a question of Republican or Democrat, it’s a question of sanity, it’s a question of safeguarding our children’s future and patrimony, it’s a question of preserving the Union!
