Bush to propose 3.1 trillion dollar budget on Monday. Half of that is entitlement programs. Congress usually rubber stamps. Treasury receipts are at a record $2.7 trillion (thanks to tax cuts). That still leaves a deficit of $407 billion. Bush is 0-fer-8 as a fiscal conservative.
The president proposes the budget, but congress authorizes. Remember that during the next election. Who represents you in congress?
