Comparing the size of their... agendas

The assigned Post today reported that the Bush Administration's agenda, if implemented, would cost in excess of $3 trillion. Now, that wouldn't be so much a problem unless you're touting yourself as: a) a fiscal conservative, or b) the alternative to the excessive $2 trillion agenda of your opponent.

The Bush Campaign seems to be trying to keep up with the Kerry Campaign in the race for new federal programs, perhaps forgetting (or ignoring?) the fact that many Republicans are Republicans because they're not in favor of additional federal programs.

Especially when they're outspending the Democrats.
