Pity you are clueless. Maybe you should have paid attention in Civics
class. The problem with Bush is no veto pen. But it is Congress who
passes ALL spending bills. And they went to court years ago to get a
ruling that the money HAS TO BE SPENT if they pass a spending bill.
Plus they have "Base Line Budgeting" with a built in 13% spending
increase yearly. And it is both sides of the aisle that have been
munching at the feed trough. Been a Dem controlled Congress for the
last year. Spending decreased? A pox on both parties. How the hell we
can be electing anybody from Congress as POTUS is ludicrous.

It isn't just Congress, it's us. We have a Governor here in NJ, who is
trying to fix our budget mess. Everybody is squawking. They all want
the other guy's pork to be cut, not theirs. We are all feeding at the
trough.

Is it the citizens, or the other politicians? Or the special interest
groups that are wallowing in the pork? Probably not the citizens paying the
bills.
