Is The President spending too much?

New Billions for Medicare drugs, Katrina relief, War on Terror. No Child Left Behind, Agriculture, Roads. Where do we stop? We don't.

Four hundred billion in deficits this year alone and growing in spite of record revenues from a record healthy growing economy.

Congress sends to the President all spending bills but the President has veto power, so why hasn't he? Not one veto.

The Democrats have been known in the past as the big spenders and big government but President Bush is giving that title a run for its money.

I realize that spending money helps Congressmen and the President stay in power, after all, that is the way its always been. Now, for the first time in seventy years we have a Republican President and Congress in office for more that four consecutive years and they want to keep it that way.

Over the many years the Democrats have been power they have slowly eroded America's conservative independent view of what government should be and have pushed an agenda of liberal, big government socialist programs. Over the years the Democrats have appointed activist judges to move their agenda when congress could not . Democrats have been pointing us in the direction of the European model of cradle to grave government care for all its citizens.

We should take note that Europe is growing weaker, economically, by the day, due to socialist ideologies. Canada, France, and Germany are beginning, ever so slightly, to see the error in their ways by voting conservatively in recent elections.

I do not necessarily like it, but I think the present administration and Congress are using the same successful pork barrel methods the Democrats have used for years to move their agendas. So long as the Republicans stay in power I believe the Republicans will slowly, bit by bit, change the present Social Security system, the tax code, and the public school system, plus strengthen the economy further, and bring the Middle East into the twenty first century. I think that the Republicans, given the time and leaders of conviction like Bush, can reshape the American way of life away from a depressing, disrespected socialist welfare state to a strong, well educated society enjoying economic and political security in this ever shrinking, dangerous world.
