Yeah, I think I'm going on a media diet again...

Kerry would spend less, at least with this Congress. As soon as a Democrat is in the White House, Republicans in Congress would rediscover their fiscally conservative roots. I'm not saying that splitting the branches in opposing parties is a net good (though I think it might be) but when it comes to spending a Democratic president with a Republican congress is probably going to almost always spend less money than a Dem or Rep dominated government.

I think I may have posted this already, but I was watching the way the British Parliament works (on CSPAN) and thought it was such a cool forum. I would love to see us do that here in the US. The open debate, the immediate response to things. Would be cool to see.

This is true. One thing that I get caught up in is talking about how much Bush spends....well, technically it isn't Bush, as all spending originates in the House. Bush could use his veto pen, certainly. I am irritated with the Republican led House on the spending just as much as I am with Bush.

How pandering is it to offer a $100 check-in-the-mail to every American? The GOP is desperate indeed.

Indeed ridiculously stupid.

Yeah, 28 and a 1/2 gallons. Big fvckin' whoop.

:mad:

He bought everyone's love for $300 that one time ($600 for families). Why the drop?
:D

I see it more like 250 gallons, looking at it in terms of the elimination of the average of 40 cents in taxes paid per gallon. If we look at it in terms of just the fed tax, we're close to 600 gallons.

Still stupid, though.

I woke to a talk radio program on my alarm clock/radio. The DJ said that the price of gas in Saudi Arabia is $.78 a gallon. Is this true?!
