If anyone thinks the President controls the budget they are ignorant. The President gives congress his wish list and they grant some of his wishes and then some. If bush submitted a budget that was only 1 Trillion congress would bring it right back up to over 2 trillion.
There is no white horse that will ride in and cut the budget. Reagan signed 8 budgets and every one was bigger then the previous years--congress made him do it to get what he wanted funded and Bush is doing the same thing !
If you want a smaller budget the only way this will ever happen is if the real conservatives take control of 60% or more of the congress !
Don't forget the GOP blew it after 1994 when they controlled both houses of congress. We won't see the GOP controlling both these again in our lifetime espically with a GOP President. It won't happen no matter how much you dream !
