Bush wants a line item veto....

....and your cat wants a salad. Bush wants power. If he really wanted to exercise fiscal restraint instead of pandering to his evaporating Conservative base, he could have vetoed some of those bloated spending bills his Republican cohorts in the Congress passed. He could have exercised fiscal responsibility by not shifting the tax burden from the rich to our grandchildren but no, he has yet to veto a bill, particularly a spending bill.

It's called symbiosis. It's called synergy. Both of these can be positive but in the case of Republican Washington, it's called fiscal insanity.
