As we all know. Dubya and his Republican buddies in Congress spent like Paris Hilton on crack between 2000 and 2006. Anytime I pointed that out, Republican defenders would point out that Bush had to spend like crazy to keep the mad moozies from killing us. Really? Then explain this.
Spending on Defense in 2006 : 19% of the Fed budget
Spending on SS and other payouts to individuals in 2006: 59%
This info comes from a Robert Samuelson Op Ed, he sources the Office of Management and Budget.
So, it looks like that being killed by the Mad Moozies isn't as big of a priority as we're told by partisan Republicans. Apparently buying votes is the priority because that's what Bush and Republicans spent 60% of our money on in 2006. When are you people going to learn the Republican and Democrat care only about their own power? At least Paris Hilton spends her own money.
