I’m in the middle of writing a paper for political science on the topic of US commitments abroad. I thought it would be interesting–and would certainly stretch my intellect–to play Devil’s advocate on this one. (Maybe I should try that on a 3-page paper next time.)
I’m down to researching the federal budget right now. This can’t be too hard, I thought. Bush has plenty of detractors. All I have to do is look to the NY Times to find some hard-hitting reporting on how messed up the Bush budget is. And to my surprise, I’ve come to find that Bush’s opponents sure are fired up about writing Op/Ed pieces on how he’s a big stupie-head and ready to step on the poor while they’re down, yet no one seems to favor sourcing their statistics they throw around. There’s no solid articles against the Bush proposal with any substance that I can actually use. Criminy.
