Bottom line, the President has had numerous accomplishments in his short time in office "

Name two instances of President Bush doing something to actually shrink the size and scope of the Federal Government or reducing Federal Spending and I'll buy you a steak dinner.

You must mean an 'accomplishment' like the Education or the Farm Bills.....

You know, Bush does have veto power. All he has to do is say "NO".

Sadly, he hasn't. Not one single time.

I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist. When I see just one single Department, Bureau, or Agency shut down I may change my tune. Until then, the Republican Party I see is the home of frauds, charlatans, fools, and outright criminals.

>>>... the Republican Party I see is the home of frauds, charlatans, fools, and outright criminals.

With such an irresponible attitude, I see no good reason to further debate with you. You're nothing but a pessimist, a social misfit and a politcal malcontent.

But to answer your initial question and just for the record.

Bush's Tight Budget Blueprint Appears to Contradict Rhetoric

A quick glance at the OMB budgetary estimates, show reductions in many government programs, from 2001 to 2002.

Agrilculture -$1.4 (in billions of dollars)
Commerce -$.4
Energy -$.5
Interior -$.4
Justice -$1.1
Labor -$.6
Transportation -$2.1
Corps of Engineers -$.6
EPA -$.5
FEMA -$.2

A T-Bone or porterhouse steak dinner, would be just fine with me. Thanks
