The Constitution was also written to give the President veto power, and just about nowhere is the use of that power more appropriate than when Congress starts to get "irrationally exuberant" with the taxpayers' money.

Much of the spending that is now going on the Congress has little say over, it has been locked in with the entitlement system.

So, just how much do you think a Bush veto would accomplish?

It could strike a serious blow against pork-barrel spending, which is one of the most corrupting practices in American politics today.
