The budget is full of red ink because the past eight years of Bush have squandered the wealth of the American people. At least Obama is pushing for government that actually works for people, rather than letting them drown, literally and figuratively. Katrina exposed the failed ideologies of the right-wing and Republicans. Government has a purpose, and that purpose is not to enrich the wealthy, but to serve the common good. But why talk about that when you can talk about how crazy the budget is by repeating Republicans exclusively. How about asking American non-politicians struggling to get by what they think?
