I can't imagine Bush will be able to spin this well, though. It's not going to play well in much of the US that Bush won't pay for his own war. I can't imagine folks with sons and daughters in Iraq are going to be sympathetic. I understand the desire to go after pork, but I think he chose a rather strange bill to start with. And what happens to the war if we don't pay for it? Does it just function on credit until the congress and the white house can agree how to pay for it? And the Katrina folks- are they just in limbo until the thing is paid for, or does work go on even if money isn't approved? I have read that much of the Katrina area is still a disaster- though I realize some of that is because the poor are never going to be compensated for the loss of their homes. It's hard to sort out how much of the lack of recovery is a direct jab at the poor, how much is incompetence, and how much is lack of funding. No doubt there will be books written on Katrina which will attempt to sort the whole thing out.
