George Bush actually said...

"We may be able to help with some funding, but the government that is closest to the people is more likely to be able to address problems."

"My budget is compassionate."

"Some in Washington do not think a 4 percent spending increase is enough."

"This debate illustrates a point I've been making for a while: When money is left in Washington, there is a tremendous temptation for the Government to use it."
