Bush Upset with Democrats Even as They Cut Spending

Via Max Sawicky, Brad Plumer notes:

President Bush has promised to veto seven Democratic spending bills – including the Labor-HHS-Education bill – and sign five others, on the grounds that he wants to rein in spending. So, CBPP checked this out and found that the seven bills Bush is likely to veto will actually cost less, when you adjust for inflation and population growth, than they did in 2002-06, when Republicans ran Congress. And the five bills he’s planning on signing into law will actually cost more.

CBPP provides the details. Check it out and compare to the BS that emanates from the White House.
