Admittedly Greg, my understanding of economic issues is limited, and I won't necessarily argue your point, but in my overly simplified viewpoint:
If the government increases spending, then revenue, in one form or another, must increase also, which will likely translate into a tax increase.
I just plain don't think the government ought to subsidize people at the expense of others, and thats what Bush's medicare plan will do.
Even if taxes, by some miracle, don't have to increase to fund it, then really we would have had to pay less taxes in the first place without the program.
