Policy is not a game. It is a fight where the strongest one wins and who can enforce his ideas and persuade others about their accuracy. When a politician is not able to persuade the opposition, it can lead to various unexpected problems. Bush who is trying to spur economy and safety of the US projects $3 trillion budget. Democrats don't want to support his spending plan and they are prepared to wait even until the new president takes office. As it was in the past, Bush wants to invest big amounts into national security & defense spending should be higher about 7 percent what presents $ 515 billion and homeland security should increase in more than 10 percent. President wants some extra money get to education programs and into inspections of imported food. On the other hand there are some cuts prepared too. The bulk of government programs should be frozen at the level they have now, and Bush also applies for almost $ 200 billion in cuts in the major health programs such as Medicare for retirees or Medicaid for the poor. Democrats attacked this plan and they say it's just a continuation of failed policies and Kent Conrad, Senate Budget Committee Chairman said this budget doesn't have "priorities of the American people." Another reason for criticism Bush's planned budget refers to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. While total costs for these wars cost the US government about $ 200 billion in Bush's budget there are only $70 billion suggested in 2009. Bush includes into his budget also request to hire new diplomats which should help to the State Department doubled its size. For State Children's Health Insurance there is prepared $19.7 billion increase & this amount was arranged between Bush's $5 billion request and $35 billion increase requested by Congress. Bush also counts with some spending in federal support for poor students but some of education programs should be eliminated.
