Take your pick of articles, the story is the same. The President is requesting another $120 billion for the War on Terror and hurricane relief. The headline for USATODAY.COM reads "Deficit could hit $500B with Congress' OK."

This is insane. The United States government needs to wake up. We cannot expect to spend 20% more than we collect in taxes and expect to prosper economically. Once upon a time, republicans were not about big givernment. However, that is what we got right now. This needs to stop. Does anyone else see where I am coming from???
