The Democratic "surge" in spending was uncalled for. They increased war spending. This had nothing to do with "cutting off funds." They INCREASED spending, after Americans voted them into power to end the war. Now the Democrats are saying that not only your money but your forced servitude will be needed.

The Democrats are inheriting just what they want from the Bush gang -- a perpetual war and spy/torture powers to facilitate social engineering. If this were not so, they would be working to end the war and repeal the spy/torture policies instituted by the Bush people. They are making no serious effort to do either.
