As the Leftcoaster says:

We’ll see fiscal restraint return after the 2004 election, when Bush, if he survives election through the help of Diebold and Sequoia, will savagely go after nondefense discretionary spending, using his own deficits as a pretext for slashing spending, once the election is behind him and no more votes need to be bought. By then though, the structural imbalance between revenues and expenses will be so large that Bush will be leaving his successor with a nearly unsolvable problem, thereby doing exactly what he said he wouldn’t do: passing responsibility on to his successor to fix his mess.

Well, yeah, would you expect anything less more of Bush?
