The Libertarian Snakebite Kit - Day

5:49PM

The LA Times has an article on President Putting 'Big' Back in Government. It says in part:

"Bush's $2.57-trillion budget for 2006, if approved by Congress, would be more than a third bigger than the 2001 budget he inherited four years ago. It is a monument to how much Republicans' guiding fiscal philosophy has changed over the 10 years since the GOP's Contract With America called for a balanced budget and abolition of entire Cabinet agencies.

"No longer are Republicans arguing with Democrats about whether government should be big or small. Instead, they are at odds over what kind of big government the U.S. should have."

Since when have the Republican not been for big government? The "Contract With America" was just a ploy to get elected. They just want a different kind of government, one where corporate welfare and corporate protectionist policies are the centerpieces. Oh, and protection for crooks like Ken Lay and all the anti-Christian "moral" religious fascists that demand a "moral" nation that murders and denies rights to anyone who disagrees with them.
