Dear President Bush: Thanks for the Memories...and the bills

My father talks all the time about the damned "tax-and-spend" Democrats, who play Robin Hood and re-distribute the wealth. His latest touts are about how the Democrats have lost so much face, thanks to the Republicans passing that wonderful Medicare reform. The Democrats said it couldn't be done, because we couldn't afford it. Wow, are they embarassed!
Ummm....Dad? Are you awake? Why don't you read this article from Time magazine, and we'll chat about it as soon as you refer to it as " liberal propaganda" expelled from the left-wing media....ok?

We cannot afford it. Has anyone sneaked a peek at the deficit lately? It's a wee bit out of control. To my father, who accuses me of being a tax and spend liberal, I say that those out of control Republicans treat the budget like it was their damned Daddy's gold card...you are not taxing, which is a wonderful thought, but you do have to pay this back some day....not taxing and spending is even worse, wouldn't you say?
