From: "Dave Ings" 

Oh please, stop trying to bait everyone. I'm no fan of Bush for the most
part but IMHO you bring no credit to your point of view with these fishing
expeditions.

According to the NY Times story http://tinyurl.com/zlef4 the majority of
state Governors already have this power, so it's hardly a stretch to
suggest it at the federal level, not to mention that Clinton apparently
found it much to his liking prior to the US Supreme Court invalidating it.

Given how out of control federal spending is in the US, and given the
propensity to piggyback pork on "must pass" bills, I am inclined
to agree with Bush on this suggestion (modulo any constitutional concerns).
