President Clinton's veto of the rescissions bill goes to the heart of the reason why the liberal Democrats lost control of Congress last year. Liberals are totally committed to big government, and it it totally outside their realm of understanding to reduce the deficit. They are incapable of thinking in terms of less government and less bureaucracy. Their political commitments and rigid ideology render them completely ineffective in solving the problem of deficit spending. When liberals like Bill Clinton get up and say they want to reduce the deficit, you have to wonder who he is trying to fool. I cannot for the life of me figure out how President Clinton has any credibility on deficit reduction or the budget. By vetoing the rescissions bill, the President says that big government and big bureaucracy are more important than our children's future. This is why liberals lost control of Congress. They say one thing, but do another. Liberals may say they want to balance the budget, but their actions say that government is more important than people, and certainly more important than America's future.
