Not only is George Bush's foreign policy "oppressing" millions with the power of self-determination, his domestic agenda is playing out exactly like the Democrats said it would.
Yes, indeed. Those Tax Cuts For The Wealthy are causing all of our state governments to drown...in record revenues (via The Anchoress):
State government revenues are soaring again, ending a period of budget shortfalls and prompting proposals for tax cuts and new spending initiatives for the first time since 2000.
Tax collections rose to a record $600 billion in the states last year, up 7.2% over 2003, the biggest increase since 2000. The money is rolling in even faster this year as many states report double-digit revenue increases through April.
No mistake, this is good news, but we conservatives should be careful to not just put the subject on the back burner in order to fight other battles. The persistent enemy remains uncontrolled and/or inefficient spending. It's analogous to the war on drugs: as long as demand is there, the drug trade will always exist; likewise I think the spending side of the budget equation will always be the hardest to deal with.
