Then you think wrong. It's a historical fact: when the same party controls the Presidency and Congress, spending skyrockets. When it doesn't spending drops. It's exactly what happened during the Clinton years. Further you get a check on presidential power which I think we despartely need right now. During the Clinton years Congress spent $400 Million investigating him which resulted in zero indictments. Some might say it was a waste of money, but it sure kept a check on power. And the money was a blip compared to the pork spending happening now. If the Democrats get controll of Congress in November you see 2 things happen immediately: 1.) Huge congressional investigations will turn up all kinds of abuses of power. (there's already convictions without them!) 2.) Bush will veto his first spending bills. Because they'll be Democrat spending bills. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:210199 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
