No, seriously, the man whose increased Federal spending more than LBJ did, is complaining about the spending bills coming out of Congress:
WASHINGTON — President Bush scolded lawmakers on Tuesday, saying the Democratic-led Congress hasn’t “seen a bill they could not solve without shoving a tax hike into it.”
Bush, who has been criticized himself for government spending increases, chided Congress for failing to send him any appropriations bills even though the government started a new budget year on Oct. 1.
“The leadership that’s on the hill now can’t get that done,” Bush said, standing outside the White House with Republican leaders.
(…)
“Congress is not getting its work done,” Bush said bluntly. “We’re near the end of the year, and there really isn’t much to show for it.”
No, more like we’re near the end of your term and there really isn’t anything to show for it.
Mr. President, you would have more credibility on this issue if it weren’t for what transpired during the six years prior to the time the Democrats took over Congress.
