But the Congress must also understand this: The American people deserve and expect spending discipline in Washington, D.C. (Applause.) With spending discipline and with pro-growth policies, we will expand the economy and help bring down this deficit. Right, Bush. Spending discipline means zilch to Congress. Where's the beef, Baby Bush? Where's your plan for cutting spending? How is expanding the economy going to bring down the deficit when you are expanding on credit?
This sucks. I am completely disappointed that this is all he could find to say about the "un-tax and spend anyway" Congress.
This is the afternoon setup where he announces the policy and gets all the talking heads spinning.
The real speech is the State of the Union. It needs to be powerful on both the War on Terror and the Economic Tax Relief Plan. I think he can pull it off.
