President George W. Bush vetoed a major spending measure on Tuesday that would have funded education, health care and job training programs, saying it contained too many special projects, even as he signed a $459 billion bill to increase the Pentagon's non-war funding.

The veto, of a measure providing $150.7 billion in discretionary spending for the Departments of Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services, was announced as Bush was en route to southern Indiana to deliver an economics speech at which, his spokeswoman said, he would criticize Congress for its "wasteful spending."

This is total bullshit! He is truly trying to take this country down... Really? What is his logic ... ?

His logic is that he is the Decider, and he wants war, so fuck what everyone else wants.

"The Congress now sitting in Washington holds this philosophy," he said, according to an advance text of the speech. "Their majority was elected on a pledge of fiscal responsibility, but so far it is acting like a teenager with a new credit card."

If the pork is removed, perhaps it would pass. It's not about the amount of the spending, it's what it is truly for...
