Important to make a first impression


When he was first appointed to be President, dubya came out with his dream budget, expanding the size of government spending to unprecedented levels, and racking up a multi-generational debt.

Bush's government spending increases, however, were not to benefit the country. His first budget included a massive cut to the US highway system. He allocated $9B to the entire country, a fraction of what is needed for the most basic upkeep, and the cost of 3 weeks of his war against Iraq.

This was designed to allow infrastructure, which includes bridges on the interstate system, to decay. This way, when responsible parties won back the White House, they'd have to focus their energy on repairing damage.

Can anyone think of a reason this is a bad idea? If not, keep voting Republican.
