Bush rips Congress on the budget
By Klaus Marre
September 24, 2007
President Bush on Monday blasted the Democratic-led Congress for having failed to complete work on a single appropriations bill.

“If Congress doesn’t get its work done in a week, the government is not going to have the funding to continue important services,” Bush said. “I don’t believe the American people should be denied those services because Congress can’t get its work done.”

He called on Congress to send him a “clean” continuing resolution to allow the government to operate when the new fiscal year begins next month.

Bush indicated that he is opposed to Congress sending him an omnibus spending bill, saying it would “make it easier for members to sneak in all kinds of special projects, put in wasteful spending or pork barrel that they are not willing to debate in the open.”


.......Democrats responded forcefully.

“Given the record budget deficits and spiraling debt that were triggered by his policies over the last six and one-half years, President Bush simply has no credibility when it comes to the issue of fiscal responsibility,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said.

twelve years ago at this very time, the GOP was squarely blamed for it and that locked them out of the Whitehouse for another 4 years.
