[altroots] Re: [ARTNEWS] FW: A Response From Johnny Isakson

OMFG! Did you REALLY expect him to give a flip? I won't even waste my energy with Issakson and Chambliss - they're no more than Bush's little lap dogs. What's the point???

W wants to reduce the deficit huh? the one HE created with his illegal and unjust war? He wants to enforce "spending limits" huh? The sort of limits he "enforced" in Iraq? We - and our our children - are going to be paying for Bush's folly, and our own selfishness and short-sightedness as a nation, for many, many years. Makes me want to puke. "F" the President.

Just had to vent...

<x-tad-bigger>Dear Mr. White</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller>
<x-tad-bigger>:</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller>
<x-tad-smaller>  </x-tad-smaller>
<x-tad-bigger>Thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns over the President's FY06 Budget Proposal.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller>
<x-tad-bigger>I am glad I have the chance to respond.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-smaller>  </x-tad-smaller>
<x-tad-bigger>The President has presented a budget to Congress reflecting his top priorities for this country: reducing the deficit, defending the homeland, fighting and winning the War on Terror, promoting higher standards in schools, pushing pro-growth policies to produce millions of new jobs, and taking additional action to enforce spending discipline. The President's budget balances domestic and international funding to meet the needs of our nation while reigning in spending to reduce the federal deficit.</x-tad-bigger>
<x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller>
<x-tad-smaller>  </x-tad-smaller>
<x-tad-bigger>First and foremost, I support the President's efforts to reduce the Federal deficit and balance the budget. We need to treat the federal budget like the family budget and live within our means. I believe the President's budget is a step in the right direction. It is important to remember, however, that the President's proposal is only the starting point in the process. His proposal serves as a guideline for Congress to consider when developing the actual budget. I understand your concerns and will continue to monitor the status of these important programs throughout our budget discussions. </x-tad-bigger>

Sincerely,
Johnny Isakson
United States Senator
