Read the Constitution. The Congress makes the Budgets. And did you notice that it is a hand in hand thing, thus promoting my opinion that it was a bipartisan problem? Or did you not realize that you were actually proving my point? You really are the most disingenuous poster on this board when it comes to the "protect the libs at all cost" mentality.American Civics 101 - For Damocles:
The president proposes budgets; negotiates with congress to try to get them implemented; and then signs budgets into law.
Short version: The president isn't a powerless potted plant, when it comes to budgets.
teasing you man!
Your precious party created and passed the budgets that turned the intel community over to the more problematic tech rather than humint variety, and as you have already proven actually did cut the publicised funding (we can only speculate about the classified portion...)
Yes, the R President put them into effect, as well as the D President later. But the budget, according to the constitution, is the responsibility of the Congress.
(Note to self: Should read the Just Kidding part before getting all huffy...)
