Finally some fiscally prudent measures, President Bush vetos funding Bill

Today President Bush vetoed a $606 Billion dollar funding bill because it contained too many earmarks and pork barrel spending. The Bill restored the $3.6 Billion in discretionary spending that was cut in the proposed budget and then the Congressional Leadership added another $6.2 Billion to put it over the top. It is about time that someone showed some level of fiscal responsibility. Government is growing out of control and congressional earmarking has gotten out of hand. For a President who refused to challenge Congressional Spending early in his Presidency we can only hope that he will stick to his guns and force Congress to be responsible stewards of the people's money.
