Bush*s "fiscal child abuse"
On NPR today, a guy from the Heritage Foundation used the phrase "fiscal child abuse" to describe the massive Bush deficits, which will require huge tax increases for future generations.

Being "conservative," the Heritage Foundation believes that the solution is spending cuts rather than tax increases, but the guy did admit that it would be hard to find enough spending to cut to balance the budget.

The phrase (fiscal chiild abuse) is a good description of the irresponsibility of the Bush tax plan. Maybe that's why the Bushites are so concerned about the Unborn. They need them to pay the taxes to foot the bill for this decade's free-for-all for the wealthy.

2. i was pretty surprised
to hear that guy's assessment of Bush's fiscal irresponsibility. I hope this means that traditional "paleocons" are waking up to what the Bush maladministration is all about.

3. Heritage is a think tank
So a catchy phrase is nothing new, but one undermining Bush is interesting.

4. Yes, one wonder how this individual will be punished by the Emperor?
Investigation?

Release of personal secrets?

Right-Wing Lying smear campaign carried out on Imperial Pravda?

Perhaps, because this person is an Imperial Ally, Uncle Karl will just get him in his office and shout at him Hitler-style.

5. Fiscal Child Abuse: That's a keeper!
I also like the "Tax on the Unborn" or the "Birth Tax" (To contrast with the Death Tax bullcrap).
