The new Bush budget

[gabosaurus]

Have you looked at it? Over $3 trillion, with the national debt growing by over $400 billion?
There is increased military spending, a slush fund for future wars and more cuts for domestic and social programs.
In other words, typical BUllSHit...

reflects a continued surge in spending on the government's huge benefit programs for the elderly - Social Security and Medicare, even with the projected five-year savings of $196 billion over five years. Those savings are achieved by freezing payments to hospitals and other health care providers.

Why not cite a real news source, instead of someone's blog.

The first spending plan in history to top $3 trillion would freeze or eliminate many domestic spending programs yet still rack up a $407-billion deficit for fiscal 2009, which begins Oct. 1. The Pentagon is the only department for which Bush proposes a significant increase; its budget would grow 7.5% to $515 billion.

I must have missed where someone was quoting from a blog. Care to explain what you're talking about?

The article manu posted cited the Associated Press article written by a known AP reporter.

Was there something else I missed?

and the liberal media is lying about the budget - what a shocker


CBS and ABC Falsely Describe Medicare Spending Hike as a Cut
By Brent Baker | February 4, 2008 - 21:02 ET
President Bush's fiscal 2009 budget proposal calls for a 7.5 percent hike in Defense spending and a 5 percent jump in spending for Medicare and Medicaid, but while CBS anchor Katie Couric on Monday night correctly stated that Pentagon spending would “rise” in the Bush plan, she erroneously asserted “spending on Medicare and Medicaid would go down.” Similarly, while ABC's Martha Raddatz cited the call for an “increase” in DOD's budget, she falsely reported: “Medicare and Medicaid would be cut by almost $200 billion.”

On FNC's Special Report with Brit Hume, reporter James Rosen scolded the sloppy reporting of his journalistic colleagues, specifically how “the New York Times' lead article on the subject referred matter of factly to the 'trimming' of Medicare and Medicaid. In fact, Medicare will continue to see its budget grow, by 5 percent instead of 7.2 percent.”
