WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The House voted along party lines early 
Thursday morning to pass a $2.732 trillion fiscal 2007 budget plan and boost the 
federal debt limit, but only after Republican leaders promised party moderates 
that they would increase spending on politically-sensitive education and health-
care programs.

Now look. The Bush Administration and Us-First Republicans have not only run us into an unbelievable debt but they're giving themselves the means to continue the siphoning. They are out of control. If anything the limit should be reduced. The pork projects and earmarks should be removed and the Republicans swatted for bad behavior. This is beyond irresponsible; it's criminal.

I think I'll call my credit card companies and tell them that not only do I not plan to pay off my cards completely but that I am unilaterally increasing my limit. If they want payment in full they'll have to deal with my kids or their kids or their kids' kids. Does that make any common sense? Hell no but somehow it's good Administration in these Bushian Times.
