One small problem ... the Legislative branch spends, not the Executive.
-----
Bush basically invented and signed into law, the Medicare Reform Act (HUGE spending). He has not vetoed one massive piece of spending legislation since he has been in office. He is a massive liberal spender, bar none. A totally hypocritical position when he campaigned on reducing the scope of government and spending in government....

When he talked about "compassionate conservatism" in the election, I assumed he meant bigger spending, but hoped it was just a campaign strategy. After all, in the wake of the demonization of Newt and the heartless evil Republican congress, running on "cuts" probably wouldn't have worked.

What a disappointment to discover that Pres. Bush really believes in huge government spending programs to supposedly solve all problems. Except when it comes to citizens spending for advertising against incumbents in elections, that must be forbidden, constitution be damned.

Right, his own legislation, authorized by Congress through committee debates and floor votes. So, what you're saying is Bush should start vetoing his own "inventions"? LOL!

I guess when facts get in your way, just start making goofy posts.
