Did we really expect anything better than this ? "The budget released yesterday, which projects a $521 billion deficit for fiscal 2004, is no more credible than its predecessors. When the administration promises much lower deficits in future years, remember this: two years ago it pro

Clark and Lieberman falter : "For the first time the country is hearing sustained criticism of President Bush -- and though the Democratic presidential primaries have been going less than two weeks, the effect has been immediate."
No, I'm suggesting Planned Parenthood. Zuckerman's proposing that ending immigration will solve the problem. It won't. The challenge is to reduce population growth, not simply keep the growing population elsewhere.
