Maybe now the President can get things done a little sooner and without having pile on precious tax dollars for meaningless projects. The following is an excerpt from one of my favorite websites, Citizens Against Government Waste, (cagw.org) a must read for anyone interested in government spending:
"Since coming to power six months ago as Senate Majority Leader, Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) has done little more than play to his party's special interests. The farm lobby, labor unions, teachers' union, and the environmentalists have all recently gotten big Christmas presents from the Daschle Democrats, while pressing national business has gone unaddressed. Worse, Daschle has let spending zoom out of control even while he hammers the White House for - gasp! - cutting taxes during a recession."
So long Tommy.
