A lot of the folks on the Right are applauding the President's cuts in the new budget. Citing "wasteful" spending, and programs that "just don't work", Conservatives are gleeful that their President is finally showing fiscal restraint.

If conservatives were truly intellectuals dedicated to their cause, one would think they would be outraged at the continuation of the national missle defense system. This cash cow, which is essentially a handout to defense contractors, with no accountability in sight, failed to make grade yet again.

Will the conservatives stand up and shout about the $10 billion Bush is requesting for this unwieldy and suspect program? I doubt it.
