Remember who didn't veto a single bill, let alone a spending bill, for six years.
Not that Boiking hasn't been an utter disaster, you still gotta recognize that the Shrub was a total spendthrift.
I agree 100% and I'm not trying to defend Bush - Bush should have vetoed some spending bills.
I bet the democrats were threatening to not authorize spending on Iraq if they couldn't spend on their own pet projects.
Thats what those suits in the beltway call "compromise."
Also, as a libertarian - I would have a hard time myself vetoing a bill. This is a democracy and the president isn't (supposed to be) a dictator.
Which Democratic pet projects were passed by Bush?
There is this awesome thing called the library of congress.
THOMAS (Library of Congress)
Spend a few hours reading the bills passed by the 110th and 111th.
They're hard to find because the 110th and 111th spent 90% of their time passing house and senate resolutions but every once in a while you will find a bill that is a spending bill or a bill that bans or regulates.
Get proactive and learn...
