No worries !

House Majority Leader , Texan crook , liar and thief, Bush crony, Tom DeLay said last week that Republicans have done so well in cutting spending that he declared an "ongoing victory," and said there is simply no fat left to cut in the federal budget. Still on target for a $331 BN deficit to which they can now add £62.3Bn and total Gubment expenditure of $2.473 Trillion ($2,473,000,000,000 ) When Slick Willy left office in 2001 federal spending was $1,863 Trillion so in 4 years there has been a 33% increase in Government spending.

Asked if that meant the government was running at peak efficiency, Mr. DeLay said, "Yes, after 11 years of Republican majority we've pared it down pretty good."

Just imagine what it would have been if they hadn’t been so successful in keeping Government spending under control.

PS Annual non military and non-homeland security spending between Fiscal 01 and 05 increased $303 billion; Federal debt increased more than $2 trillion since fiscal year 2000 and is nearly $8 trillion and limits will need another vote in Congress within the next ¾ months; the 2003 Medicare prescription drug bill will increase the government's unfunded obligations by $16 trillion.....

Please miss, I need to go to the bathroom.
