LAT: "Limiting Government's Role"
Tags: george bush, federal aidThe Los Angeles Times seems to think that Bush favors spending cuts in this article:
As President Bush tackles the monumental task of easing the social problems wrought by Katrina, he is proving deeply reluctant to use some of the big-government tools at his disposal, apparently out of fear of permanently enlarging programs that he opposes or has sought to cut.
They may be right about Bush's plans actually costing more and doing less good than they could, but the idea that Bush is not just a free-spender is obviously false. Perhaps this is an attempt to show that he's not as good a Democrat as he appears.
