I linking this post directly to a petition for suggestions to offset pork spending in order to fund the Katrina relief effort. I really hope the Republican leadership (is Tom Delay having a mid-life crisis..."no fat left in the budget"!!!) takes this opportunity to return to the limited government ideals that gave them the House in '94. However, I'm not holding my breath.
President Bush made a comment today about cutting spending. I hope he puts real pressure on this and they were not just words for the camera.
There are so many places to cut. A great first place would be all the bike paths funded by the pork in the Transportation bill that just passed (see July 30 post, "CAFTA Arm Twisting").
