Good News, Bad News



Well, the good news is, government programs are being cut. Programs that have no business soaking up tax payer money will be phased out over the course of the next few years and go the way of the dodo. This is certainly good news. Programs like the Federal Timber Safety Net program will be cut away like so many trees.

However, in typical Statist style, the programs will only be replaced by NEW programs, to meet the whims of the current administration. Like Momma, who the day after Christmas goes through the closet and throws out some of the old toys to make room for the new ones, President Bush is simply making room for his new toys. The spending budget for 2007 is an astronomical $2.77 trillion, with a "T." You can see what your tax money has bought and almost paid for here.
