Further Removed from Reality
Spend-Happy Bush Requests $2.4 TRILLION for Budget
Okay, has anyone happened to mention to his simpering chimpness that the country's trying to recover from a recession? That he's already spent far, far more than he should have and now the moron wants to plunge the country far deeper into debt than we have any right to expect to be able to climb out of anytime soon.

Hello? George? Quit spending our money like its going out of business.

So how does he plan to make ends meet? Let's quote the story, " To battle the soaring deficits, Bush proposed squeezing scores of government programs and sought outright spending cuts in seven of 16 Cabinet-level agencies. The Agriculture Department and the Environmental Protection Agency (news - web sites) were targeted for the biggest reductions in discretionary spending. "

Oh, I get it. Get rid of those govermental agencies that restrict little things like clear cut logging, the further pollution of the river's and waterways, our farm system and hey, let's just shitcan education, "a total of 38 education programs are targeted for elimination."

There's a song by The Grateful Dead called The Monkey and the Engineer, about a monkey that takes the controls of a train. But he doesn't crash the train, he's got it under control. We're on a train being controlled by a monkey with no happy ending. We're hurtling down the track, throwing billions to the military and there's a brick wall approaching but does Shrub go for the brakes? Nope, he wants more speed.

Can we just hold the elections now so we can get this moron out of office and get someone in there who actually gives a damn about the country instead of lining his pals pockets with even more ill gotten money?

[Update: I guess no one bothered to tell Bush that the Record Deficits Force Cuts In Bush Budget. Which is to say, that Bush has little contact with reality.]
