Ted Barlow has some good links up about the bloated piece of crap known as the Bush budget proposal.
This budget is scandalous, and the Dems could have the high ground if they didn’t have 9 million issues they wanted to spend MORE money on. The best comment from Ted’s links actually comes from Mark Kleiman (who I have just added to the permalinks):
The good news is that the bad news is finally getting through. I got a phone call last night from a hard-core conservative friend, now doing a non-political job in Washington that puts him face-to-face with the budget numbers. “I hate to say it,” he said, “but these people are completely out of control.”
Yep- and they will have to be held accountable if they do not regain some control. Soon.

Bush is getting slammed by the dem’s for raising the budget ONLY 5.1% next year. These are the same people who call a reduction in the rate of increase a cut.
You really think he can get away with actual, real, reduction?
I just don’t think its politically viable regardless of its merit.
