"President Bush and Democrats in Congress traded jabs today over the budget in what could be an indicator of fights to come. As he prepared to deal with a Democratically-controlled Congress for the first time, Bush asked lawmakers to extend tax cuts. Responded Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, "I know people don't like to pay taxes, but the fact of the matter is is that this administration has produced a record deficit."" -CNN.com

what spin. Either you or the article forget to mention bush is also asking congress to use fiscal restraint in there decisions

It might be a little late in the day for Bush to start exercising 'fiscal restraint', wouldn't you agree?

i agree that the article or you aren't telling the whole story

There's no story to tell. Bush handed out tax breaks like party favors and now we have record deficits.

Did you know that even with all these tax cuts. The government is pulling in more tax dollars then in it's history. Gee how does that happen....... here i will spell it for you G-R-O-W-T-H............

and if it wasn't for social programs we wouldn't even be in the hole.

"The government is pulling in more tax dollars then in it's history. Gee how does that happen....... here i will spell it for you G-R-O-W-T-H............"

>>>What you're not understanding, Gix, is that the only G-R-O-W-T-H we've had has been in the deficit and the debt.

Good point, but don't forget pork barrel spending by both parties.

George-Tax breaks actually increase the government's revenues. Look at the other two instances of tax breaks to the middle class. Well I guess you won't because one of them was Regan.....but the other was a liberal darling...JKF. Revenues increased after his cuts as well. History pal, history.

im am just waiting for you to say prove it because i have the numbers. So tell me when.

Well, you know, the war is also just a little expensive, though we still don't have a national debt as bad as Japan's; theirs is more than the country's GDP.
