Hey Big Spender! Spend a Little Time With Me!

It would be very easy to criticize the current administration for fiscal irresponsibility. That is, it would be easy for anyone but John Kerry. The most liberal, big spending United States senator, John Kerrys' proposals make George Bush look appear absolutely Scrooge-like.

"Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry repeatedly assures voters he can pay for his top domestic priorities and cut the federal deficit, all by rolling back President Bush's tax cuts for top income earners and shutting down corporate tax loopholes.
But a review of his campaign proposals shows that the Democratic front-runner is promising to spend at least $165 billion more on new programs during his first term in office than he could save with his tax plan, a mix of breaks for the middle class and increases for corporations and the most affluent. The $165 billion figure does not include the cost of several proposals Kerry has not fully detailed or backed with estimates."
