(By Senators Bowman, Caldwell, Chafin, Edgell, Fanning, Helmick,
Hunter, Jenkins, Kessler, Love, McCabe, Minard, Plymale,
Prezioso, Ross, Rowe, Sharpe, Snyder, Unger, White and Tomblin,
Mr. President)
Urging President George W. Bush reduce the federal deficit.
Whereas, The federal deficit is the largest in the history of
this country and is spiraling out of control without any end in
sight; and
Whereas, President Bush inherited a surplus budget from his
predecessor which was forecast at $5.6 trillion over 10 years.
This has turned into a current deficit of over $374 billion, the
largest dollar amount on record. The current administration has
increased spending by 12.5 percent in the last year. Even with a
growing economy, the White House expects the deficit to exceed $500
billion in 2005; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby urges President George W. Bush
reduce the federal deficit; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to President George
W. Bush.
