Shocking! Like Andrew Sullivan, Conrad finds Bush’s fiscal imprudence exasperating and unjustifiable, and says the plan for an utterly useless $200 billion space station is the last straw. It looks like he may actually boycott the 2004 presidential election.
I often (though certainly not always) disagree with Conrad on domestic politics, but I have to applaud him for doing his own thinking and not being a blind follower. There are many aspects of the Bush presidency with which I disagree, but none is more indefensible than its insistence on driving up the deficit while giving unprecedented breaks to those who need them least. I wonder how much this policy is going to come back to haunt him come November.
