Wait just a darned minute there - what about Congress holding the purse-strings?
How can Bush just dole out cash like that - isn't Bush's (supposed) overreach of power in other areas what drove the Libs crazy? Shouldn't the Libs now rally 'round Mitch McConnel to put an end to the power-grap by the Executive branch????
