wither in the light

As if we weren't already aware that the current administration in the US has fucked up priorities, Slate is reporting that Bush is spending money on nukes at a rate unequaled since the height of the cold war Reagan years - $6.5 billion this year, $6.8 billion next year, $30 billion over the next 4 years. The economy is fucked, the education system is fucked, the environment is fucked, world opinion of the US has never been lower, and Bush is spending money that doesn't exist since his corporate welfare tax breaks and skillful mishandling of government coffers turned a record surplus into a record deficit. Stop the country, I want to get off... this guy is making me sick.
