More Bull from Bush
From his speech at the RNC last night:
"To be fair, there are some things my opponent is for -- he's proposed more than two trillion dollars in new federal spending so far, and that's a lot, even for a senator from Massachusetts."And exactly how much do all your "proposals" cost, sir? You know, reforming the tax code, making the tax cuts permanent, comp-time and flex time, portable health savings accounts, worker training, new sources of energy, "opportunity zones", tort reform, 7 million more affordable homes in ten years, keeping the promise of social security, early intervention for at-risk students, healthy start, funding the CHIP program, and oh yeah, fighting the war on terror and Iraq.
How much are all these things going to cost?
About $2 trillion, maybe?

Actually, I was wrong about the guess - it's way more than $ 2 trillion. Based on some figures thrown out by Paul Krugman and others, it's at least $3-4 trillion.
