Bush Looking at Cutting Domestic SpendingThe White House is telling federal agencies to expect lean budgets next year, with congressional aides and lobbyists saying President Bush appears ready to propose freezing or even slightly cutting overall domestic spending.
I hope it's true, but I'm not holding by breath. The only thing that gives me some hope is that as presidents move into their second terms, they inevitably begin to focus more and more on their legacy. I doubt that Bush wants to go down in history as the biggest spending Republican of all time.
