so, the republicons are out conning everybody

into thinking that bush is serious about cutting the deficit. in fact, with the $40 billion in cuts to student loans and medicaid, republicons are out making a big spectical of themselves, like this:

"American taxpayers, and anyone concerned with the nation's long-term fiscal stability, have won a great victory today."

but when you add in the tax cuts, there's actually $16 billion ADDED to the deficit. republicons. conning their way thru life.
