Well, at least were on the right course.

The budget blueprint for fiscal 2009 slows the rate of growth in spending for entitlement programs such as Medicare for savings of $208 billion over five years. Pentagon spending would rise 7.5 percent to $515 billion, the 11th consecutive year of increases. Programs in the departments of education, interior, transportation, justice and agriculture would be reduced.

Bush, after meeting with his Cabinet this morning at the White House, called it a ``good, solid budget'' that puts a priority on national security and keeps spending under control.
