Damn Oh the frustration

Damn! Oh the frustration! Sometimes I just feel like our new president cares about tax cuts a hundred times more than he cares about the important priorities which matter to most Americans.

Hyperbole? Well, not exactly. On Wednesday the Washington Post reported that Bush is calling for an increase of “$1.6 billion, in spending on elementary and secondary education.”

$1.6 billion per year more in education for the kids and $1.6 trillion over ten years in tax cuts. Hmmmm … Guess Karl Rove must have taken the day off the day they came up with that line item.

P.S. Why do I have to spoon feed this stuff to the Dems? Come on, guys!
