Tax and Spend

Remember back in the 2004 presidential debates when Bush accused Kerry of being a "tax and spend liberal" and Kerry shot back by saying that Bush was a "don't tax and spend Republican?" I think we need to modify that a little bit.

As the Federal Emergency Management Agency wraps up the initial phase of its temporary housing program -- ending reliance on cruise ships and hotels for people sent fleeing by the Aug. 29 storm -- the toll of false starts and missed opportunities appears likely to top $1 billion and perhaps much more, according to a series of after-action studies and Department of Homeland Security reports, including one due for release today.

And that is just the housing program. We need to start calling them "don't tax and squander Republicans" or just "corrupt Republicans."

Let's face it. Republicans are not competent to manage your money and your lives, to care about your security and making life better for you. All they care about is themselves and their own. Such people have no business running the government.
