Most abhorrent in the Democrats' spending schemes, aside from raising taxes to expand government, is their insipient disregard of the coming entitlement explosion.

What Democrats have engineered is a fiscal train wreck at a time when the U.S. can least afford it. Unless that course changes, which is doubtful, President Bush should stock up on ink cartridges for his veto pen. "Whatever Happened To 'Pay As You Go'?" Valley Independent (Pennsylvania)
