Could be a valid argument for line item veto too.

It might be, but would Bush use it? He isn't prone to veto, in fact I believe he never has.

I voted for Bush. But he has done a poor job with spending. Perhaps anyone else elected would have done as poorly but even if true this is still a low spot on how I would evaluate Bush.

It sometimes seems like the Democrats talk about increasing spending and then increase spending, while the Republicans talk about small government and then increase spending. No one really seems interested in cutting spending, and even seriously restraining its growth is something that few politicians strongly support (at least not with a detailed specific plan for the major restrictions in growth).
