The bread & butter of Bush's budget

The Bush master plan still includes extending and expanding tax cuts while at the same time reducing spending on 141 programs, something Clinton economic advisor Gene B. Sperling is like "a man who leases three fully loaded Hummers, finds it stretches his family's budget to the breaking point, and decides his family has to start buying cheaper peanut butter" (as paraphrased by the New York Times).

Seems Bush has already crippled future generations by making Clinton's surplus into a huge deficit, thanks in large part to a war that'll cost a trillion dollars. Your solution makes sense in a way, but it ignores lots of other wasteful items in the Bush agenda. And cutting programs for the poor and elderly before cutting projects dear to the Ted Stevens' of government is a lame idea, regardless of what party affiliation you claim.
