Yet some of those things listed are the fault of Congress, not Bush, Vorlon. Things would be a lot better with limited line-item veto powers to ensure Congressional pork doesn't get wedged into the large spending bills.
I think the Republican leadership in congress is a disaster when it comes to spending. But Bush has to accept some responsibility for not imposing any discipline through use of the veto.
How about a Democrat controlled House with a large and powerful Blue Dog contingent? A bit of fiscal responsibility would not go a miss

This is why I go back to what I said over a year ago about having one party dominate the two branches of government (doesn't matter which party it is). It's hard to tell your own folks no (top down), and it's hard to practice restraint (bottom up).
