Spend, Spend, Spend

Some will say big deal others will say w can do no wrong:

The White House will project soon that this year's federal deficit will exceed $420 billion, congressional aides said, a record figure certain to ignite partisan warfare over President Bush's handling of the economy.

The annual summertime analysis is expected out this Friday, said several congressional aides speaking on condition of anonymity Tuesday. That would be well after the frequently ignored legal deadline of July 15.

Showing an exemplary respect for the law of the land:
White House budget office spokesman Chad Kolton said the report will be issued when it is ready, and offered no date.
I wonder how this would work on the street:
Drug War Jackboot: You are under arrest for growing and possession of marijuana!

Drug War Victem and Cancer Patient: But my doctor gave me a prescription.

Drug War Jackboot: Tough!

Drug War Judge: Twenty years! You must obey the law.

Sure, there are a lot of laws that should be ignored. However, if you are the Whitehouse and the law applies to you then you really should set a good example.
