Conservative think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute have criticized Bush for his big increases in spending, which far exceed those of the Clinton era.

Bush may be a strong leader in the war on terrorism, but on budget deficits he is missing-in-action.

The President's budget pays for only six months of the war in Iraq and completely overlooks the transition costs of Social Security reform. The Administration always lied about the cost of the Medicare drug bill.

Equality under the law is the slow triumph of hope over history.

President Clinton was able to achieve budget surpluses despite a divided government.

If you need to put your money in a safe and secure place and you want it to earn interest, Treasury bonds are safer than putting it in any bank as a deposit or putting it anywhere else, because they are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.

This Congress is simply not doing its job under Republican leadership.
