BUSH’S SPENDING

Mickey Kaus echoes what I’m hearing in DC:

I recently talked with an old friend who is employed by the federal government at one of the important agencies. I asked how things were going at work. My friend said: “I’ve never seen an administration spend money like this since the days of CETA. The money’s flying out the door. I can barely keep up with it. … They give money away on telephone calls! No documents. No budget. It’s the worst I’ve ever seen it.”

It really is Nixon’s domestic policy, after all. By the way, that’s your money Karl Rove is throwing away.
