Remember when the Pukes wanted the line item veto for bush.? |
|
Not one of them would vote to give that power to President Obama.
Should we want the line item veto? I think so.

2. To cancel all pork spending for Red states, you bet |
|
And also to give the president power to move around spending in the budget.
Start by moving all NASA facilities in Alabama and Texas to Florida (it's a swing state, you know).

3. People in Alabama work in those NASA facilities in Alabama, you know. |
|
I don't see the reason to move any existing anything anywhere.
Red states need jobs just as any other, even if the NASA facilities here are 100% staffed by pukes (which I doubt but don't know).

4. I remember. At the time, I thought "watch what you wish for". |
|
My mother always told me that, and I have seen things backfire enough times to know that everything is a double-edged sword. But it would be fun to watch the Reps squirm over a line item veto these days.

6. They voted it in near the end of Clinton's first term with the caveat |
|
that it wouldn't take effect until the next presidential term. They were sure that they would win. Clinton used his pen to strike two small items to test it- the Supreme Court struck down the line item veto as a violation of the separation of powers. It has been a dead issue since then.
