Better Still: It's one thing for the president to talk about cutting spending. It's another to get Congress to go along.

Congressional Republicans have said that Bush's proposed budget doesn't go far enough to reign in spending. They want to look at the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to make sure no money is being wasted there either.

I'm still skeptical that we're going to see any significant reduction in an election year. But at least the rhetoric is finally in the right place.
