Budget busting … Republicans

February 4th, 2008

While you’re munching that tasty shit sandwich, GOPers, here’s something else to chew over:

US Budget:                                   2001 (Clinton)     2009 (Bush)

Total Outlays                                   $1.863T               $3.107T

Entitlements as % budget                   64%                      65%
(“Human Resources”)

Budget as % of GDP                           18.5%                   20.7%

Isn’t it comforting that the federal government is now stealing over 20% from us at the point of a gun just so it can give 2/3 of that money to someone else? Wow. Limited government! Controlled spending! Vote Republican!

My aching, overtaxed ass. Explain to me again how much better the Reps are than the Dems, willya? But no thanks, I don’t need any bread – I’ve got plenty of shit on my plate already, and all that condescension left over, too.

    Bush never gave a damn about domestic policy. I have believed for some time that the whole reason he wanted to be president was to find a way to make sure Saddam took the dirt nap -- and when THAT mission was completed, his only real goal was achieved.

    All politicians will gorge at the public trough if you let them. Since the GOP 'leadership' (read Bush) didn't give a damn, they all ate heartily.

    Put all politicians on budgets and make them spend their own money on their pet projects
