"Goofy Spending"
Two articles, on the editorial page of
the July 21 (Monday) Tribune, Hey! Big Spender by Bill O'Reilly and
Deep debt, deeper trouble from the Washington Post would lay the blame
for deficit and frivolous spending on the Bush administration. The truth
is, all legislative powers are nested in the Congress of The United
States (Article I, Section 1) and all bills for raising revenue shall
originate in the House of Representatives (Article I, Section 7) to
be approved by the Senate and the President after which it becomes the
responsibility of the Bush administration to administer the funds as
pre-determined by the Congress.
So, very simply, both O'Reilly and the Washington Post need to get
their facts right and place the blame for goofy spending where it
belongs on the Congress of the United States!
