Voodoo Economics, Pt. 2

So, the Presidents submitted his budget request and INTENTIONALLY LEFT OUT the anticipated expenses for the War in Iraq and Afghanistan AND his projected costs for privatizing Social Security: Boston.com / News / Nation / Washington / Key expenses are omitted, analysts say

Talk about hiding a rabbit up your sleeve.

"Daddy, can I have some money?"
"What do you need it for, son?"
"Well, I wanna see a movie and buy some ice cream and maybe get a present for Mommy."
"Okay, how much do you need?"
"Um, $2.7 trillion oughta cover it."
"*cough* Er, are you sure that's enough?"
"Yeah, that'll do it."

Three months later, in a televised address to the country...

"In order to keep the terrorists from killing Daddy and raping Mommy, I will ask Daddy for an additional $81 billion..."

Yeah, THAT won't have any effect on the deficit. And they call the DEMOCRATS tax-and-spend...

More later...
