I missed the coy part. What's going on today is overt. I have mostly been 
registered as a Republican. I value fiscal responsibility and the 
Republicans have had the reputation for it. After Reagan and now Bush I no 
longer have confidence in the Republicans' handling of the national budget. 
This Bush is the most spendthrift president I have known in my forty-seven 
years of voting. Cutting taxes is a great way to pander to voters but it is 
also a great way to drive the country deep into debt if the tax cuts are 
not balanced by spending cuts. Bush makes decisions based on how he will be 
most popular. That is smart for him and those who support him but it is bad 
for the country.
