A $3 Trillion Budget

This should give us all pause to think of the consequences of a Democrat controlled Congress and Executive. Tax-and-spend will become the norm.

"The spending plan squeaked through the House on a vote of 214 to 210, as 14 Democrats voted with a united GOP in opposition. "

These are excerpts from this article.

"Because Bush has vowed to veto appropriations bills that exceed his spending requests, Democrats are considering delaying passage of most of the bills until a new president takes office in January."

I must admit that we have seen excessive growth in the Federal Budget over the last eight years. Republican control did not seem to slow it down. The one redeeming factor was the tax cuts that were implemented. We kept more of our money through that period of growth in federal expenditures. The Democratic candidate for the Presidency has stated that he is in favor of rescinding those tax cuts. Just think how much faster the federal bureaucracy will grow if that happens!
