[quote=asdf_admin";p="47558]are we on the topic of larger gov due to national security? or liberal paper pushers? [/quote]
Well, I think that's a false dichotomy, and I'm not going to fall into that trap. What I'm talking about is rampant government spending (excluding the military/HS spending) here at home on programs Bush finds appealing, like the aforementioned (and absurd) program to promote the concept of marriage. Remember when Bush intended to trumpet in the State of the Union speech about his intent to send a man to the moon -- at a time when the deficit was already huge -- but decided against it after the proposal went over like a lead balloon with the American people? We're at war, and this jackass wants to send someone to the moon where, of course, we've already been a number of times.
