Bush's $3 Trillion Cop-Out

Robert Samuelson reports:

The only way Bush could balance the budget would be by not following Bush's policies. The most telling figures in his budget involve his proposal to eliminate or dramatically reduce 151 programs, for savings of $18 billion. That's six-tenths of 1 percent of federal spending. What's telling, though, is that Congress will probably reject even many of these proposals.

Besides Ron Paul not many people really want to cut spending.
