"Another distinctive feature of the budget process is that the President's role is more formalized and, therefore, significant. The Congress, by statute, has required the President to submit a budget to the Congress each year. By doing so, the President establishes the starting point and the framework of the annual budget debate."

which is kind of funny how Bush is now touting the success in afghanistan, when a couple of years ago he somehow "forgot" to add in funding for that country, which congress realized and added in.
Sometimes, things fall through the cracks.

Yep, he does submit his desires but the actual specifics are left to the Congress to put together and make law. Anything different then what the specific agencies ask for are due to what Congress determined, not the President.

Maybe if Congress wouldn't p!ss and moan amongst each other while posturing for "pork" projects we could get decent budgets in place and a little closer to on time. This specific bill in question was more then a quarter year overdue in getting through the Congress and was immediately signed into law by Bush once presented to him.

I think you're not giving enough credit to the presedential role in the budget process.

If underfunding is not giving an orginization what it asks for then every agency is underfunded. There is a game, you always ask for more money that you need because they are going to say will give you x% of what you asked for and usually the people that ask for the money know exactly how much to ask for to get what they need.

So your a Democrat because....you think they tell the least lies?

I dont like how Bush morphed Osama into Hussein(sp) but I'm glad he's out of there. I just wish we could get our men out of there ASAP and stop spending money in another country when we need it for our defecit in this country.

Phew! You scared me there when you first said "paper train", but then you caught it with "paper trail". A 'paper train' is a bad thing!

A 'paper train' is when you wipe your ass and the toilet paper follows you out of the bathroom.

You had an ID? Where'd it go?
