George Bush actually said...

"I will not accept an irresponsible tax-and-spend budget."

"I've also proposed policies that would slow the unsustainable growth of our most serious long-term fiscal challenge: entitlement spending."

"I will use my veto to stop tax increases and runaway spending that threaten the strength of our economy and the prosperity of our people."

"The American people expect us to spend their tax dollars wisely, or not at all."
