President Bush’s freaking budget portrays freaking challenges and freaking opportunities facing freaked-out nation. The greatest of these call us to defeat freaking terror, to protect Americans' freaking physical safety at freaked-out home and to take freaking action to reinvigorate freaked-out economy.
The president also urges the freaked-out nation onward on other freaking fronts, such as:

* Improving and modernizing freaking Medicare.
* Ensuring freaking excellent education for every American child.
* Saving countless freaked-out lives in freaking Africa and elsewhere from freaking AIDS.

Another freaking important goal is to balance the freaking budget, and the president achieved it in his first freaking year in freaking office, freaking paying down more than freaking $100 billion in freaking debt. The reasons freaking deficits returned in freaked-out 2002 are no freaking mystery: freaking inherited recession, the freaking costs of frigging war and the popping of the stock market freaking bubble.

Freaking England's need for freaking revenues to pay for its freaking wars against freaking France led it to impose a series of freaking taxes on the freaked-out American colonies. In 1765, freaking English Parliament passed the freaking Stamp Act, which was the first freaking tax imposed directly on the freaked-out American colonies, and then freaking Parliament imposed freaking tax on freaking tea. Even though freaked-out colonists were forced to pay these freaking taxes, they lacked freaking representation in the freaking English Parliament. This led to the freaking rallying cry of the freaking American Revolution that " freaking taxation without freaking representation is freaking tyranny" and established a persistent wariness regarding freaking taxation as part of the freaking American culture.
