As the year winds down, it's a good time to think about ...
On This Date in Bush History 11/21-Hey Big Spender!
"Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing." Benjamin Franklin’s Thirteen Virtues 2003: Conservative columnist and blogger Andrew Sullivan writes about President Bush's energy bill today in "The Weekly Dish" column of the Washington Times. Says Sullivan: "How any principled, small government, free-market Republican could vote for
this vast waste of public money is beyond me. Mr. Bush should veto this bill, until it is de-porked. He won't, of course. He has
yet to veto a single big spending bill. Which is partly why, under his watch, the government has grown so quickly and the debt has mushroomed". As Sullivan predicted, President Bush signed a pork-filled version of the energy bill into law, on August 8th 2005.
