All I've heard are crickets chirping re: the stunning O-budget. Though to be fair there was this disturbing bit today from that doofus Brooks in the NY Times:
"The White House has produced a chart showing nondefense discretionary spending as a share of G.D.P. That’s spending for education, welfare and all the stuff that Democrats love. Since 1985, this spending has hovered around 3.7 percent of G.D.P. This year, it’s about 4.6 percent. The White House claims that it is going to reduce this spending to 3.1 percent by 2019, lower than at any time in any recent Republican administration. I was invited to hang this chart on my wall and judge them by how well they meet these targets. (I have.)" http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/06/opinion/06brooks.html?_r=1&ref=opinion On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 3:04 PM, Charles Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > CB, while I greatly enjoy your posts and respect you, I am afraid I do not > see any justification for the Obama rah-rah'ing.
