In a couple of magazines and news magazines, I have now read several times that Bush's spending this country into devastating debt is no accident or some other unplanned and disconcerting result, but that Bush, et al, is purposefully stripping the federal government of the social programs and safety nets that have been in place for the last 60 years, that by driving the government into virtual bankruptcy he/they want to force the states to take over the burdens of the people, that this is the natural outcome of ridding the country of 'big' government.

Might this be the case? And if it's true, what do you think we'll find down the road?
