Congress would have to mandate the cuts in legislation.

Have they?

Has Bush done any negotiating that would lead them to conclude that would be a good thing to do? Did he even bother to try it when the Republicans had control of the House and Senate?

Bush is weak. He does his best to please all the people all the time.

Yes he did... he submitted budgets that held spending at a level that would reduce the deficit by 50% over 5 years... and is way ahead of schedule to do just that. I wish we could get a Congress and Senate that had enough small government Conservatives in them to actually cut entitlement spending (Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, affirmative action, earned income tax credits etc)... but much like War, we have to go to war with the Congress we have... not the Congress we wish we had. If you knew anything about the budgets that were passed, there was plenty of negotiating going on.

Like I said before... how could Bush get Rinos and dims in agreement to cut entitlement spending? He tried on Social Security, with a plan that would have saved hundreds of Billions of Dollars... but the rinos said no... and dims said NO much louder! He NEVER gets credit from those of you with BDS and I will point out the truth to people like you when you post. He has not been perfect... he has not cut spending like I would like to see done... but he is better than anyone else that was running in 2000 and 2004... ALL Republicans and dims running at that time included.
