HE WAS SERIOUS...AGAIN...:
NASA's Budgetary Gift Horse (NY Times, 11/29/04)
The space program fared remarkably well in the huge appropriations bill just approved by Congress. NASA got a hefty $16.2 billion budget for fiscal year 2005, only a tiny bit shy of what the administration had requested, and it was given unusual authority to shift money from one program to another.The agency clearly scored a budgetary coup in a year when most federal programs were ratcheted back to make room for the costly war in Iraq and to alleviate huge deficits.
Funny how the President publicly announces his intention to pursue a big idea yet the Times is surprised every single time he follows up. Posted by Orrin Judd at November 29, 2004 12:00 AM
Another 16.2 billion bucks down the crapper.
Privatize it and let the Rutans do it.
Posted by: Bart at November 29, 2004 5:25 AMThe belief that all political animals especially POTUS are serial compulsive liars is a result of the behavior of those that they choose to support.
Since their picks are liars, it necessarly follows that all are liars.
Of course, to the left, all facts are a matter of opinion and all (their) opinions are a matter of fact. Thus if Bush states an opinion that differs from theirs, he has lied.
So they must always be supprised when Bush lies and then proceeds to implement the lie.
