Liberal 'Budget Hawks' or Vultures?By Joe Mariani April 25, 2006 Page 2 of 2 The trick, of course, is that Liberals don't want that money returned to the taxpayers or spent on national defense in other ways. Whenever Liberals play Budget Hawk, you can hear part of the true Democratic election platform. That means pulling out of Iraq regardless of the circumstances, reducing the defense budget, and spending that money on Socialist entitlements designed to make more people more dependent than ever on the Federal government, which translates into Democrat votes. Add impeaching the President and raising taxes to pay for even more entitlement programs, and you pretty much have the whole of it. At least national defense is a valid expenditure mandated by the Constitution. Bailing out a floundering political party by helping them buy votes wasn't part of the Founding Fathers' vision. ------------ Joe Mariani is a computer consultant born and raised in New Jersey. He now lives in Pennsylvania, where the gun laws are less restrictive and taxes are lower. Joe always thought of himself as politically neutral until he saw how far left the left had really gone after 9/11. His essays and links to articles are available at http://www.guardianwatchblog.com/
