And what did they manage to override? A water bill. Well congratulations Congress, you've managed to make ONE thing get passed in your pathetic track record. Keep it up and you may actually go for some kind of record.
It's not like they even have it hard.
Since Democrats gained control of Congress in January, Bush has issued dozens of veto threats, warning he will veto annual spending bills that go beyond his budget levels. As Congress winds down for the year, veto threats hang over a $288 billion farm bill the Senate is considering and new attempts to come up with a children's health insurance bill.
Stay within the budget. That doesn't sound too hard does it? Of course it does, this is Democrats we're talking about. They are the kings and queens of pork spending. Too much in the budget? Well simply raise taxes! It's the same if you're running a business, a home, or the government. You have X amount of dollars to spend for the year. If you go over it, you run the risk of fiscally ruining yourselves.
So knock it off and get on to being fiscally responsible. If you can't even manage that, then perhaps you shouldn't be in a position of power.
