Has to be. When measured in real dollars, he hasn't hit the spending of FDR yet has he? Isn't he going for some sort of record on wasteful spending?

>>>>I'm fully prepared to use the veto if they overspend," Bush told a news conference.Saw the President make this comment today. At first I thought he was making a joke. No joke. Sorry to say, I wasn't impressed.
In the last five years Bush, with support from his cohorts in GOP Congress, has expanded government like no one since LBJ. Bush signed into law a trilion dollar prescription drug program. Bush doubled the budget for the Dept of Education. Bush signed off on a huge transportation bill with thousands of earmarks, a pork laden farm bill and energy bill. The Feds spend more today on social welfare and entitlements then ever before. In 2005 there was more waste, fraud and abuse in the federal budget then ever before. Over 15,000 earmarks for pork barrel spending.
When it comes to spending the taxpayers money, Bush and the GOP stand for big government Republicanism.

I'll believe it when I see it. And then I'll ask the obvious question: Why now? The damage is already done.

Talk is cheap, Mr. President Jr. You also said you wouldn't support the assault on our First Amendment.
Should we be reading his lips?

Define overspend is the question I have. Anything beyond national defense, police and courts is highly suspect.

The main veto pen was stolen by Clinton along with all the W keys from the computers.
The strategic reserve veto pen is hidden along with Vice President Cheney at an undisclosed location.

I will believe it when I see it.
As to "earmarks", give each representative a allocation (say $10 million for reps and $20 for senators, with extras for leadership and committee heads) that they can spend on their district or combine with others for their state.
This would at least limit it.

[ President George W. Bush, who has never vetoed legislation, said on Thursday he was ready to do so this year if the U.S. Congress approves too much government spending. ]
I see...
Slamming the barn door shut after the horses have escaped..
There must be a few RINOS that are impressed by this.. and a little dismayed..
