To pay for it, the government will borrow an added $100 billion, which will impose $100 billion of higher taxes on future generations. Suppose there was a Democrat in the White House and she proposed $100 billion in cash hand-outs to families. She could structure it exactly the same way as Bush has, but call it a “Family Food and Health Care Supplement.” The minority GOP would probably denounce it strongly as wasteful welfare, which it would be. But, as we have seen dozens of times since 2001, because the political operators in the White House call themselves Republicans and conservatives, many members of the Republican party appear to be going along with this nonsense."

Spend, spend, spend little piggies. Do not pay any attention to the man behind the curtain!
