    Storing Your Stuff – The Options
    As you accumulate stuff, you are going to find that you need to store it. Professional storage facilities provide many different options to choose from.Whether you are storing old furniture or priceless photos, there are dozens of options when it comes to storage. Choosing the right storage boxes and units, whether inside your home or at an outside storage facility, is vital to the longevity of your valuables. Storing items you no longer use can efficiently preserve important space while still keeping your old belongings secure.If you are doing some spring-cleaning and have found items that you no longer use but want to keep, an expensive outside storage unit may not be necessary. Instead, find the appropriate type of box to put your belongings in and store them under couches, beds or in linen closets. A shallow, long and wide under the bed box fits perfectly under many types of furniture such as an entertainment center or a sofa and of course, beds. These boxes are perfect for storing clothes, photos and other small items. If you have extra storage space in your garage but not in your closet, find a clothing box with a built in hanger rack to form a makeshift storage closet for off-season clothes.If you are consolidating your kitchen with a more organized and efficient look, ordered storage is imperative. Use racks in your pantry to resourcefully utilize space and store bulky items such as bread machines out of sight. If you rarely use these items, store them in a separate closet or work room with easy access when they are needed. Instead of storing items in their bulky boxes, combine items using organized, consistent plastic containers.If you are moving into a smaller home or temporarily need to store your household goods, a professional storage unit may be necessary. Self Storage Units are appropriate for storing items that you may need to retrieve at a moments notice, but also need to keep safe outside of your home. Other storage services include a pick up and delivery service; a large storage box is dropped off at your home and you are given ample time to fill it with your belongings. When you are ready for it to be put in semi-permanent storage, just call the company and they will transport it for you. This storage method prevents multiple trips as

    George W. Bush and Salem bin Laden were coinvestors/business partners in Arbusto Energy.

    The 2000 Presidential Election was won by George W. Bush in Florida, the governor of which was his brother, Jeb Bush, after a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The court decision was divided 5-4.

    During Election Night of the 2000 Presidential Election, John Prescott Ellis, a full cousin of George W. Bush, was a consultant to Fox News, analyzing data from the Voter News Service. He regularly contacted Jeb and George Bush by phone that evening.

    The Project for the New American Century, which in 1990s advocated the invasion of Iraq for reasons of geopolitical strategy, included Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and John R. Bolton, all of whom subsequently held influential positions in the Bush administration.

    The Bush administration does not accept the International Criminal Court's authority over American citizens, and members of the administration have questioned the usefulness of the United Nations. George W. Bush appointed John R. Bolton to a recess appointment as Ambassador to the United Nations although Bolton had previously made disparaging remarks about the U.N.

    The George W. Bush administration pushed for the USA PATRIOT Act and has used the new powers in a variety of cases.

    George W. Bush, during the 2003 State of the Union Address, said that British intelligence had learned Iraq had been attempting to purchase uranium from Africa. That claim was based on information which the CIA said it could not verify, and CIA head George Tenet accepted responsibility for failing to remove the assertion from the speech in the fact-checking stage. An earlier document specifically documenting a supposed buy from Niger was known to be a forgery and was not referred to in any Bush speech.

    George W. Bush has made remarks suggesting that he saw footage of the first 9/11 impact on network television, even though that crash was not broadcast until hours later.

    Bush plans to have nuclear waste stored at the volcanic Yucca Mountain facility.

    Bush has made the following statements: "I told all four [congressional leaders] that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." December 18, 2000

    Answering a repeated reporter question about the anti-Bush gwbush.com, "But how far should these guys go?", Bush replied "There ought to be limits to freedom. We're aware of the site, and this guy is just a garbage man, that's all he is. Of course I don't appreciate it. And you wouldn't, either." May 21, 1999

    Free Content
    I was never career oriented. I developed a wide range of interests because I was an early reader with an appetite for knowledge and information. My dad was a reader and he subscribed to enough magazines that I always had lots of free content. By the time I was a teenager, I was buying the content I wanted at the newsstand when my paper route collection day came around on Friday.For all the reading I’ve done in my life, I was never drawn to write and I have no explanation. It was the mid eighties before I had anything to say and no one to say it to beyond my immediate family. But I found a few places locally I could write and publish at little personal expense beyond the time. The process fascinated me and it was always a cheap thrill to see my words in print. I accepted that few people would read what I had to say or had any interest in my subjects. I was not discouraged by the fact that no one I knew ever came up to me and said; “I read your article and I liked it”. All my personal satisfaction came from the process and knowing I expressed myself clearly and simply, so that I enjoyed reading what I wrote. It was simply a hobby and a creative outlet.Five years ago I developed a visual impairment that substantially altered my lifestyle. A close friend urged me to write some of the things we talked about when we were together. When she made me a gift of her old PII computer and I discovered I could read light text on dark fields, I acted on her advice. So began my re education.I wrote about the things I had learned over the years. Because I was a rat race drop out by 1980 and forsook my material desires for the so called good life, I developed a very alternative point of view on all the things others took for granted. My internet connection was indirect and I only got enough feedback from my helper to know there was a fair amount of activity on the web page I had. It was a publishing requirement by two article directories on which my friend also submitted my articles. I began to think there could actually be an audience for the things I wanted and needed to say. I don’t know where I first heard that content was king on the internet but I’m sure it’s only been the last couple of years I have had to consider the implications.The first implication was that rea
    We, the people, of these United States have the responsibility to ask questions (see “Does Anything Make Any Sense Anymore?”). Is our president, the leader of the free world, turning the executive branch into an imperialistic presidency by expanding his powers, we must ask, “How did this man become president, and what is he trying to do, and how do we stop him from destroying America any further?

    We all know that GWB got into Yale University after attending Phillips Academy (where his father attended). However, he was accepted with a 1206 combined SAT score, which is far lower than the average score of the students accepted at Yale. Why was he accepted to Yale? Was it because he father and grandfather went there?

    While at Yale, he maintained just a ‘C’ average. His transcript reveals that he received a ‘71’ in Political Science, barely passing,’ and a course vital to national public office. In another Poly Sci course he opted for a ‘P’ for pass, rather than a number grade. In City Planning, he received a ’75.’ In Economics, he earned just a ’72.’ In Science 2, he got a ’69,’ and in Sociology he received a ’70.’ Again barely passing. And in English, he earned just a ‘75’ and a ’76.’ So the question one must ask is, “With grades like that, how in the world did George W. Bush, a low average student, get accepted to Harvard Graduate School?

    Has this deception been part of this family dynasty from the beginning? Is honesty not in the family vocabulary?

    Below is a reprint from Wikopedia, the online encyclopedia. After reading it, you may understand better, and agree with the majority of Americans, that this man is not fit to be president of the United States. His actions, and his family’s actions, speak for itself. The problem is that if our Congress doesn’t do something immediately, the Bush family will continue this subversion of our democratic government, alienating us from the rest of the world, and endangering our country even more. Something must be done NOW, especially since all the polls taken show that 70% of Americans no longer believe in this president, and when asked, non-Americans feel he is more of a threat than Saddam Hussein was. It is time to save America and regain our worldwide respect.

    (From Wikipedia)

    The Bush family conspiracy theory is an umbrella term used to describe various conspiracy theory allegations directed towards the family of President George W. Bush, including the President's brothers; Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Marvin Bush, and Neil Bush; their father and former President George H. W. Bush; grandfather Prescott Bush; and great-grandfather George Herbert Walker.

    Background

    Proponents of these conspiracy theories sometimes refer to the alleged secret organization with pejorative terms: Bush League, Bush Buddies, Texas Taliban, Bush Criminal Empire (BCE), or Bush family evil empire. The first is a pun on the baseball term "bush league"— minor league amateurs.

    As the Bush family has provided the last two Republican presidents, there may be a confusion of family conspiracy with what is actually normal political maneuvering. (Similarly, the Kennedy and Roosevelt families have produced a number of political and public figures). Additionally, members of the Bush family are politically and economically prominent, so it is natural that they have connections to other major political and business figures, some of whom have unsavory reputations.

    A number of allegations have been made about different members of the Bush family at different times: it is not reasonable to discuss these allegations as a whole. Listed below are assorted allegations and rebuttals, but any serious consideration of these allegations should be made on a strictly individual basis. Some allegations have received considerable mainstream attention and debate; others are generally regarded as specious and unsubstantiated.

    Various allegations and conspiracy theories

    Oil dealings and the Middle East

    The Bushes support the oil industry to enhance their own financial interests in the industry.

    Ayatollah Khomeini dealt with George H.W. Bush and/or his operatives to arrange the Iran-Contra deal and allegedly the October surprise conspiracy, on behalf of U.S. Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan.

    While Vice President, George H.W. Bush was responsible for Saddam Hussein's acquisition of weapons and funding during the Iran-Iraq War.

    Osama bin Laden, then a Mujahedeen leader in Afghanistan, is reputed to have been a CIA agent who made use of CIA resources and U.S.-funds to bolster the morale of radical Islamists after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Further, the Bush family, through its ties to the bin Laden family and other connections, otherwise aided bin Laden's rise.

    The September 11, 2001 attacks was planned or sanctioned by the Bush administration, to secure oil pipeline routes through Afghanistan in preparation for Peak Oil.

    Marvin Bush was in charge of security at the World Trade Center in the months just prior to the 9-11-01 attacks.

    The threat of WMDs and terrorism in the wake of the September 11 attacks were political cover for the 2003 implementation of PNAC founders Cheney and Rumsfeld's 1998 plan for the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq, originally presented to President Clinton.

    The assassination of Olof Palme may have been related to his knowledge of Iran- Contra.

    George HW Bush Sr. was a CIA agent since the late 1950's. He was the agent in charge of the failed "Bay of Pigs" invasion of Cuba in 1961. Bush's presence in this event can be proven by the names of the boats used in the operation. The boats were named the "Houston", after Bush's adopted home town, the "Zapata", after his company Zapata Oil, and the "Barbara", after his wife.

    CIA agent Bush was in Dallas TX on November 22, 1963, but he claims he "can't remember what he was doing" when President Kennedy was assassinated. George HW Bush would claim in a letter to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover that he had overheard a Texas Young Republican by the name of James Parrot threatening the President. Two CIA agents, E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis were briefly held for questioning in the JFK shooting, but were released after the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald. Hunt and Sturgis were in the "grassy knoll" area, where many experts believe the fatal gunshot was fired from. Lee Harvey Oswald's journal, currently on display in Washington at the National Archives, contains the name and phone number for George H.W. Bush.

    Consolidation of political power

    Prescott Bush supported the Nazis. These claims stem from investments he held in Nazi Germany.

    While George H.W. Bush was head of the CIA, he may have been involved in the 1976 assassination of Orlando Letelier. Bush remains silent on this issue, and the CIA refuses to release many of the internal documents which could shed some light on it. There was an organized conspiracy between Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris, the U.S. Supreme Court, and ChoicePoint to rig the American presidential election in 2000.

    Certain members of the Bush Administration, the United States Supreme Court, and the Republican Party disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters in the 2000 and 2004 elections via voter purging lists, poll harassments, rigged electronic voting machines (see Diebold Election Systems), and fake absentee ballots.

    Through legislation and actions which extend executive powers and reduce oversight as justified by the War on Terrorism, the Bush administration is working toward establishing a totalitarian state.

    In the Bush administration's ambitions to expand the Texas Medication Algorithm Project to the entire U.S., mandating "mental health" screening of every American and possibly forcing treatments on the "ill", is suspected a range of issues from mere pharmochemical-industry collusion up to a new version of Hitlerian control, demonisation, or eradication of dissidents and mental defectives

    Other

    The Bush family supports crime and Satanism through the Skull and Bones Society— only their involvement in the organization is actually known.

    Conspiracy of Silence is a 56 minute Discovery Channel documentary film, detailing an alleged Lawrence King child sex scandal that involved many children from Nebraska institution, Boys Town. The organized child sex parties implicated the Reagan and Bush White House during the 1980s.

    The Bush family—especially Neil and Jeb Bush—profited from the Savings and Loan crisis of the 1980s.

    Jonathan Bush was involved in banking tomfoolery with Riggs Bank.

    The Bush family is actually part of a vast bloodline shared by many European royal families of alien/inhuman Reptoid blood, asserted by David Icke, among others.

    The Bush family is related to Rev. George Bush (biblical scholar) (1796-1859) a leading 19th-century Hebrew scholar, Presbyterian minister and professor who wrote "The Life of Mohammed" (1830 (Bush geneological chart included in the edition published by The Book Tree)), an anti-Muslim polemic. According to one theory, George W. Bush's foreign policy towards Islamic nations is an attempt to engage in a religious war that has been planned for generations.

    Known history

    The following are the parts of known history which have led people (see references) to make further claims (see allegations above). Businesses associated with Prescott Bush, such as the Union Banking Corporation, were shut down in November, 1942 — nearly one year after America's entrance into World War II — under the Trading With the Enemy Act for working with Nazis.

    George H.W. Bush, Prescott Bush, and George W. Bush were members of the Skull and Bones secret society, along with John Kerry. (Bush's membership in the Skull and Bones society was the subject of several Doonesbury cartoons.)

    George H.W. Bush was head of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1976-77.

    Ronald Reagan's would-be assassin John Hinckley Jr is the son of one of George H.W. Bush's better supporters in his campaign against Reagan; the Hinckleys' Vanderbilt Energy was threatened with a $2-million fine the morning of the assassination attempt; Scott Hinckley and Neil Bush had a dinner appointment for the next day.[8]

    George W. Bush has sealed the presidential records of both himself and his father.

    Saddam Hussein was provided with weapons and funding during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s during the Reagan administration, when George H.W. Bush was Vice President. In addition, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush was the Special Envoy to the Middle East in this period, appointed by President Reagan. He met personally with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war.

    Dick Cheney was G.H.W. Bush's Defense Secretary, and is currently G.W. Bush's Vice- President. Cheney is the former President and CEO of Halliburton Company which has been given an exclusive and unbidded contract in postwar Iraq. In addition, Halliburton's accounting firm was Arthur Andersen, which has been convicted of obstruction of justice, and allegedly committed fraud.

    The Carlyle Group is an investment group which includes members of the Bush family and the bin Laden family (one of the richest in Saudi Arabia). George H. W. Bush and bin Ladens were at a Carlyle meeting in a DC hotel the morning of 9/11. George Bush's private plane landed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the morning of 9/11. While private flights were grounded after 9/11, permission was granted to fly several bin Ladens to a gathering location. They left the U.S. before air traffic resumed. In total, four planes were allowed to leave the U.S. with Saudi citizens when the American airspace was closed.

    George W. Bush and Salem bin Laden were coinvestors/business partners in Arbusto Energy.

    This article is addressed to what some call the “MTV” or “Boomerang” generation members born around 1981 or later. In other words, to those who are in their mid-twenties. With that out of the way, let me begin with two, easy-to-follow lessons that will eventually lead to the purpose of this article. The first is the history of the stock market.According to the 2005 Yearbook published by Ibbotson Associates, the long-term average return from the stock market is 10.4% (pg. 29). Ibbotson starts their long-term series of financial data in 1926 (pgs. 27, 201). There are only three components to stock market returns: earnings growth, valuation-level changes (i.e. the change in the P/E ratio), and dividend yields. Assuming that this nearly eighty-year trend will continue, we can project that, even with wild fluctuations that are caused by global wars, weather, or economic disasters, the market always seems to find a balance and return to it’s norm. Now keep that 10.4% figure in mind.Lesson two; compound interest. This simple calculation is based on investing a fixed amount and receiving a return on your investment based on a percentage. Take $100 and put it in the bank at 5% for a year and you’ll end up with $105 a year later. But compounding allows you to keep that $105 and receive $110.25 in the second year. Go foward another year and you’re at $115.76, although you added nothing more. From the original $100, you made a $15.76 profit. Neat, right? But not a lot of money. Okay, you still get the idea. Invest, leave it alone, and watch it grow. That’s the principle behind compound interest.So, what’s the big deal? The big deal is what happens if you use the magic of compound interest and the stock market together. Sprinkle in a regular investment strategy and bam! But I’m getting a bit ahead of myself, so let’s start over.Suppose you’re typical 24 year old. You begin each day with a cup of Starbucks coffee, the Vente Latte at $4.00, after tax. On the way home, you stop and get an Iced Cappuccino Grande for another $4.00. So each day you spend around eight bucks treating yourself. But on weekends, you buy a loaded pizza instead. Or you still get coffee, Either way, for this examp

That claim was based on information which the CIA said it could not verify, and CIA head George Tenet accepted responsibility for failing to remove the assertion from the speech in the fact-checking stage. An earlier document specifically documenting a supposed buy from Niger was known to be a forgery and was not referred to in any Bush speech.

    Bush plans to have nuclear waste stored at the volcanic Yucca Mountain facility.

    Bush has made the following statements: "I told all four [congressional leaders] that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." December 18, 2000

    Misadventures In Affiliate Marketing
    Having only been involved in affiliate marketing for a couple of years, I’ve spent my share of time researching potential programs that I may want to promote. I spent my money here and there on several advertising strategies such as pay-per-click, Yahoo and Google ads. All these things, however relevant they are to the total internet marketing picture, do not prepare you for the other side of your internet marketing experience.After deciding which program to promote, I decided to announce my idea to family and friends. For the most part, many were telling me “That’s a great idea.” Then I realized later on that they were secretly thinking “You must be nuts!” So I wondered if anyone else has ever perceived this or am I the only one?After shaking off the feeling that some of these people were not part of my faithful support system, I pushed on undaunted. I spent days tracking the results of my marketing efforts. All the while, my family would be looking over my shoulder wondering out loud “Where’s the money? Have you made any money yet?” They all want to see instant success in this business that requires patience and perseverance. Has anyone else been through this or am I the only one?I read everything I could get my hands on about optimal search engine rankings, email advertising, and even how to write an article like this one in hopes of getting the most exposure to my website or affiliate program. Money started to roll in (actually more of a trickle). I felt instantly optimistic because I started to see a glimmer of light at the end of my marketing tunnel. While I was ready to celebrate my small victory, people close to me were not satisfied with my progress and begin to hint (sometimes argue) that I should stop even though it was clear that my efforts were showing some profit. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Has anyone else been through this or am I the only one?What’s my point? My point is this. When I started this endeavor, I knew it wouldn’t be a walk in the park (and I love the park). I realized that marketing was going to be a hit and miss situation. I knew I had to keep going in order to find what works best for me and my advertising niche…affiliate marketing. If you persevere, you too can see the light at the end of the

    CIA agent Bush was in Dallas TX on November 22, 1963, but he claims he "can't remember what he was doing" when President Kennedy was assassinated. George HW Bush would claim in a letter to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover that he had overheard a Texas Young Republican by the name of James Parrot threatening the President. Two CIA agents, E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis were briefly held for questioning in the JFK shooting, but were released after the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald. Hunt and Sturgis were in the "grassy knoll" area, where many experts believe the fatal gunshot was fired from. Lee Harvey Oswald's journal, currently on display in Washington at the National Archives, contains the name and phone number for George H.W. Bush.

    Consolidation of political power

    Prescott Bush supported the Nazis. These claims stem from investments he held in Nazi Germany.

    While George H.W. Bush was head of the CIA, he may have been involved in the 1976 assassination of Orlando Letelier. Bush remains silent on this issue, and the CIA refuses to release many of the internal documents which could shed some light on it. There was an organized conspiracy between Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris, the U.S. Supreme Court, and ChoicePoint to rig the American presidential election in 2000.

    Certain members of the Bush Administration, the United States Supreme Court, and the Republican Party disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters in the 2000 and 2004 elections via voter purging lists, poll harassments, rigged electronic voting machines (see Diebold Election Systems), and fake absentee ballots.

    Through legislation and actions which extend executive powers and reduce oversight as justified by the War on Terrorism, the Bush administration is working toward establishing a totalitarian state.

    In the Bush administration's ambitions to expand the Texas Medication Algorithm Project to the entire U.S., mandating "mental health" screening of every American and possibly forcing treatments on the "ill", is suspected a range of issues from mere pharmochemical-industry collusion up to a new version of Hitlerian control, demonisation, or eradication of dissidents and mental defectives

    Newsletters VS RSS Feeds
    Effective direct-to-desktop publishing requires a major shift in how you look at the purpose of your newsletter It is my contention that some publishers, and most especially email publishers, are marketers first and publishers second. That means they see making sales as the primary purpose of publishing an ezine or newsletter. We all hope that our publications will achieve that goal, but it should not be the primary purpose of your publication. Instead, your publication should focus on providing content of the highest quality that establishes your credibility. You do that by showing your readers that you know your stuff, that you are, dare I use the word, an expert - a real expert - in your field. This means you need to do as much writing of your own as possible. Yes, I realize that writing articles is hard work and time-consuming. That is why we publishers use third-party articles. but don't just run any article that you receive. Use some discrimination. Use only articles that complement your own content, that are appropriate to the focus of your own newsletter. And, whatever you do, do not just publish the article as is. Write a short introduction that gives your readers your own thoughts on the article. Remember, you want to establish your reputation, your credibility, not someone else's. The received wisdom is that newsletters should be used to promote your own products and services. If you look at the vast majority of email newsletters, that is exactly what the publishers seem to think is the purpose of their newsletter. In most, including a lot of the most-well known, newsletters, you can hardly find the content among all the advertising. these publishers seem to feel the need to shove their advertising in your face. However, let's look at what should serve as a model for all online publishers: your local newspaper. Most newspapers do not cram every page of their publications with so many ads that you cannot find the articles. Most of the good ones tend to have a separate section for advertising. And what ads do appear in the content sections are presented in such a way that they do not interfere with the presentation of the news. How long do you think your local paper would keep its

    How to Recover from Lost Employee Benefits
    The healthcare industry is in a state of crisis. Health Insurance rates are rising by 10 to 15 percent each year. In some cases these increases are causing companies to reduce or drop all healthcare benefits to their employees. Employers experience high turnover rates and lose productivity in attempting to refill the newly vacant positions because of the lack of benefits.There is an estimated 44 million people in America without health insurance and an additional 75 millions are under insured. It has been a problem with no end in site.These are the three most popular questions people are asking about lost benefits.Why are there so many un-insured people today?The answer to this is quite simple. In this changing economy where lay offs and outsourcing is normal, it has lead to a large number of displaced un-insured families and loss of primary income sources. Along with the rising cost of service by health care providers, premiums have shot up each year to the point that many people can’t afford health insurance. To add insult to injury many employers are cutting benefits because they simple can’t afford the high premiums, instead sometime offering raises.What is a person to do when they can’t afford health insurance?Many people have had to resort to going to county hospitals and other social aid programs. Letting the tax payer pay for the bill for their health care may affect people’s self esteem and puts a strain on their job. This may also cause problems with in the families and stress among marriages which leads to other problems in our society.Is there any alternative for people with out health care? Yes there is. There are organizations or associations that will help people in today’s health care market purchase their health care for a wholesale price.How does the future look for people in the health care market. The situation has in the past looked bleak. However with new choices and innovative resources people are able to find the right benefits that will meet their family’s needs. All it takes is a little research into your options and a willingness to take control of your own health care and benefits.

    BUSH SPENDING

    (April 3) - Federal spending is outstripping economic growth at a rate unseen in more than half a century, provoking some conservatives to complain that government under Republican control has gotten too big.

    The federal government is currently spending 20.8 cents of every $1 the economy generates, up from 18.5 cents in 2001, White House budget documents show. That's the most rapid growth during one administration since Franklin Roosevelt. There are no signs that the trend is about to turn around. The House Budget Committee last week rejected a proposal that would require spending hikes to be offset by cuts in other spending or by tax increases.

    This week, the House is scheduled to debate the $2.8 trillion budget for 2007, which projects an additional $3 trillion of debt in the next five years. The Sept. 11 attacks, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Gulf Coast hurricanes account for only part of the increased spending.

    Other factors: the biggest military buildup in decades, domestic spending, and the rise of benefits for the elderly, poor and disabled.

    "You take anything, and we've grown it big," says Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., a leading critic of the spending spurt. "When you're in control of the presidency and both houses of Congress, there's just no stop on it. There's no brake."

    Examples:

    -- Spending for President Bush's military buildup, which began before 9/11, has risen nearly 50% above inflation in five years.

    -- Medicare's new prescription-drug coverage is projected to cost an average of $80 billion a year over the next decade, adding nearly 20% to the health care program's annual price tag.

    -- Spending on social programs, from education to veterans health care, has risen faster than at any time since the 1960s.

    "Budgeting is about making choices, and this period is one that shows a complete absence of that," says Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a Republican who stepped down last year as director of the Congressional Budget Office.

    The White House points to recent domestic cuts and the elimination of scores of small programs. It says Bush has led efforts to trim Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

    "By far the bulk of new funding - 75% of it - has been to restore the hollowed-out military the president inherited, strengthen homeland defenses after 9/11, and fight the war on terror," says Scott Milburn, spokesman for the Office of Management and Budget. "These are essential investments that were required ... to protect our nation."

    The spending spike contrasts with the mid-1990s, when Republicans gained control of Congress and compromised with President Clinton on spending cuts that led to a $236 billion budget surplus in 2000.

    "Republicans have gotten the sense that they're going to get elected by passing out money to people," says former Republican House Budget Committee chairman John Kasich.

    Can it be any clearer what we must do?

    We must come together and take back our country.
