What is it that we are arguing about? I said the president prepares the budget and sends it to the Hill. Congress passes the budget. Of course they don't pass it line for line.
But the responsibility to prepare an annual budget lies with the president. And the moral and political authority to keep spending in line lies as much with the executive as with Congress.
If you are saying Bush gets a pass on the massive budget deficits that have happened every year that he has been in office, we have a disagreement. Otherwise, I think we are on the same page.
