is getting weirder and weirder. Mostly cause of G W’s seeming embrace of big government. Whether it’s the military, prescription drugs, education, health care (in general), or, I expect, a number of pronouncements to come, Bush keeps suggesting to spend spend spend. Trouble is that it’s cynical as hell, and irresponsible, cause it’s doubtful that he can pay for it – leastwise with a flat tax like Steve Forbes (likely in a Bush cabinet) would love to bring in.
