But then if President Bush set up the budget for 2009, why are they changing it? I seem to be missing something. It is as if what President Bush did is meaningless and in that case so will whatever the big zero does in 2012.
Its the way of government. What Congress did was “authorize” their huge spending bill. What Bush did was have the 2009 budget approved by Congress in fiscal year 2008. What Obambam is doing is working on the 2010 budget that will eventually have to be approved by Congress, which will include huge decreases in military spending. I’m not sure if anyone in Congress knows what as budget is! Around my house it is a tool used to control spending.
