Hypocrisy in Action

According to President Bush, Congress is spending "like a teenager with a credit card." He'd have more credibility with me if not for the fact that during his first 6 years in office, a Republican Congress behaved the same way without a single veto for budgetary reasons. One only need look at the multi-trillion Medicare drug expansion for proof of that hypocrisy.

America is, for better or worse, better at fiscal restraint with a divided leadership between the President and Congress. It keeps them fighting each other to winnow down the budget, instead of engaging in attempts to buy votes with the taxpayer's money.
